10 benefits of using hats during a photo shoot
- Adds a splash of fun colour and texture.
- Great for distinguishing between a girl or boy.
- Allows baby to play with the hat and get some fun expressions such as pulling it off, or playing peek a boo.
- Adds sentimental quality when someone special has made the hat for the baby.
- Makes baby look super cosy and warm when it’s snuggled into lovely blankets.
- Allows me to position baby’s head without waking them up with cold finger tips.
- Allows me to easily remove and retouch parents fingers from the shot when used to support baby’s head so I can safely achieve a shot.
- A baby that has a lot of hair can be made to look more ‘baby-like’ by wearing a soft beanie.
- Unruly hair in older babies and toddlers can be tamed by keeping hair off the face.
- Baby’s head is more likely to stay in position without moving if a beanie is used for set poses. Photobaby has hats, bonnets and beanies in all sizes and styles that you are welcome to use during your session or simply bring along your favourites! Be sure to check they fit your baby nicely before bringing them so you can be happy it will work on the day.
