Calling all newborn/baby photographers...

[misspinky]

So I'm wanting to get into newborn/baby photography and build up my portfolio when my niece/nephew is born next month, get some practice in and all that before tackling one I've never met before! It's something I've always wanted to do, photograph babies!

I was just wondering, I'm searching endlessly for a perfect old vintage style suitcase/train case/packing case kind of thing (possibly cliched I know but I adore them) and I was wondering if any of you have them, what dimensions are they?

Obviously I know the rough size of a baby, having met several before lol, but it's quite hard to imagine posing one in a suitcase and making it comfortable, fit well, and look good, if you get what I mean. I've seen some I love, but I just don't know whether they're gonna be too big or too small!

Thanks! x

I'd look for one that would fit at least a standard size pillow. That way you have room for baby and something soft and fluffy.
