I love it when Paperie gets to do a vendor giveaway / guest feature for a product I have, use, and love! Today we’re welcoming “Shoot Baby!™”
Founded in 2009, SHOOT BABY!™ has been providing photographers with specialty products to use when photographing newborn babies. Their professionally made Ottoman Posing Beanbag (pictured below) has been enormously popular in the newborn photography industry.
SHOOT BABY!™ beanbags are used by studios such as Baby As Art, Kristen Cook and Little Posers Photography.
Photographers love it because it provides a large, flat and firm (but still soft) surface on which to pose newborns. Traditional beanbags are difficult to use because the baby tends to sink into the beanbag and it’s hard to position their little bodies.
The Vinyl Ottoman is made from a soft faux-leather and is very convenient for cleaning up little ‘accidents’. With it’s large, flat and SAFE surface area, it provides the perfect ‘canvas’ on which to create your art and gives you unrestricted creative control over posing (with and without rolled up bunny rugs / receiving blankets, boppy pillows, etc).
• Diameter: 100cm (approx. 40″)
• Height: 30cm (approx. 12″) – more like 45cm (approx. 17″-18″)
once the beanbag is full and rounded out.
SHOOT BABY!™ sells other products that are incredibly useful to newborn photographers (like the Single Backdrop Stand), and a little birdie also told me they are introducing some new, exciting products later this year!
SHOOT BABY!™ has 2 stores, one based in the USA and one based in Australia. Check them out at shootbaby.com -and- shootbaby.com.au.

Earlier today I posted on the Paperie Facebook account about a new trend in newborn photography – baby crowns / tiaras. “Baby as Art” recently posted a beautiful example here. The vendor they used, megfish.com is now accepting pre-sales.
If you just can’t wait that long, Queen Bee Designs on Facebook now has an Etsy shop with several adorable little crowns for sale. Check them out!
We have a winner in the Photographer Cafe $100 shopping spree and it’s…Melanie Ashcraft Photography!
Congrats to Melanie and thanks to Photographer Cafe for the awesome shopping spree!
