Props & Backdrops to Make Your Mommy & Me Photos Sing!

Hey there, mamas! Nataly Danilova here, your Mommy and Me photographer specialized in capturing the pure, unadulterated love between you and your precious little ones. Based in Vienna, VA, I have years of experience with mamas and babies!

And let me tell you, Mommy & Me photos are some of the most heartwarming sessions I get to do. But let’s face it, sometimes those little bundles of joy can be a tad…unpredictable. That’s where props and backdrops come in –– they’re the secret sauce to creating stunning Mommy & Me photos that burst with personality and melt hearts!

Props

Think of props as something that adds another layer of magic to your Mommy & Me photos. Here at Nataly Danilova Photography, I have plenty of props to choose from, but feel free to bring your own special pieces too!

• For the littlest ones: Adorable headbands, tiny knit booties, soft stuffed animals – these simple touches add a touch of whimsy and help capture that fleeting newborn stage. It’s a picture that will have you reminiscing for years to come.
• Let’s get playful: Giant balloons, colorful blocks, musical instruments – props that encourage interaction and capture those genuine smiles and giggles.
• Themed photos: Going for a specific theme? We can tailor props to match! Fairytale adventures, tea parties, or a cozy reading nook – the possibilities are endless!

Backdrops

The backdrop you choose sets the mood and tone for your entire Mommy & Me photoshoot. Here at Nataly Danilova Photography, my studio boasts a variety of stunning backdrops to make your photos truly unforgettable.

• Classic elegance: Creamy white walls and soft textures create a timeless, elegant feel. These backdrops are perfect for capturing those precious, intimate moments of connection between you and your little one.
• Blooming beauty: Imagine you and your child surrounded by a cascade of soft pink or lavender florals. It’s a picture-perfect setting for celebrating milestones like Mother’s Day. These backdrops add a touch of femininity and elegance, making your photos ideal for commemorating special occasions.
• Whimsical wonderlands: Let your imaginations run wild with fairytale-inspired backdrops! Lush greenery, enchanted castles, or a starry night sky – these backdrops will spark endless creativity and make your photos truly unique. It’s a photo that’s both whimsical and timeless.

Pro Tips for Picture-Perfect

But wait, there’s more! Here are some extra tips to make your Mommy & Me photoshoot a breeze:

• Coordinate, don’t match: Don’t feel pressured to dress in identical outfits. Choose colors that complement each other and create a cohesive look. A soft pink dress for you and a pastel blue button-down shirt for your little one would look adorable against a backdrop of blooming florals.
• Schedule around nap times: A well-rested baby is a happy baby (and that means happy photos!). When scheduling your session, be sure to pick a time that falls within your little one’s natural wake window.
• Relax and have fun! The most important thing is to capture the genuine love and bond between you and your child. So relax, snuggle close, and let your personalities shine through!
