Carrier Choice
I've been getting a lot of questions about what type of carrier to use for minis. Is my tula ok? Is my ring sling ok? My definitive answer is yes. While your babywearing mini is somewhat about the carrier (how could it not be with some of the beautiful textiles we use to hold our children), what it is really about is the bond between you and your child. I want you to wear something that both of you are comfortable in, something that makes you smile whenever you put it on. Whether that is a baby bjorn or an expensive handwoven wrap, we will use it to take some beautiful pictures of you and your child.
That said, there are a couple considerations for how to hold your child. Back carries work well for portraits, but often don't show a lot of interaction between mom and baby. Front carries are good for interaction and snuggly photos (if you have a snuggly baby). Hip carries can be the best of both worlds if it's a position your baby likes. Ultimately you know your baby best and know what will work for you two. We will have time to switch carries once during your session, but any more than that will be tight.
