I’m a photographer and I was asked to take photos of a friends newborn baby girl, but she didn’t have any props, and I am not typically a newborn photographer so I didn’t either. I wanted to find something that was cute that wasn’t a basket or baby bed that you typically see in newborn photos. I also wanted to let her keep the item as a gift so it had to offer functionality to their lives, which is where this Moses basket comes in. It was a bit tough to get the bends out, but I used a hand steamer and that seemed to make it easier to reshape. Since the photos were taken 6 months ago, this Moses basket has gotten a lot of use as intended. It looked great in photos, and was so cute in the nursery on the changing table. It fits almost any decor! It’s high quality, and affordable.
