Create lasting memories with adorable newborn photos in a crochet baby cocoon!

This cocoon and headband combo is perfect for any newborn shoot, whether you’re going for a naturalistic look or something more whimsical.

The cocoon provides a lovely frame for your subject, while the headband adds a touch of elegance. And because each set is handmade with love, you can be sure that your photos will be one-of-a-kind.

Here are some tips on how to get the perfect newborn photos in a crochet cocoon.

Tips for using a crochet cocoon

If you’re thinking about using a crochet cocoon for your next newborn photoshoot, here are some tips!

1. Choose a simple pattern. You don’t want anything too complicated or fussy – remember, the focus is on the baby!

2. Make sure the cocoon is big enough. You want your baby to be comfortable, and you don’t want them to get lost in all that fabric!

3. Use soft, natural fibers. Again, comfort is key – you don’t want your baby to be itchy or uncomfortable during the shoot.

4. Finally, have fun with it! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture those precious first few weeks of life. Embrace the messiness and enjoy every minute!
