Want to Use a Trampoline for Newborn Photos?

In the realm of newborn photography, trends come and go. But one trend that should never gain traction is the use of collapsible child’s trampolines as props for capturing those precious early moments. While it may seem convenient or trendy to use a trampoline for newborn photos, the potential risks far outweigh any perceived benefits.

In recent years, there has been a rise in using unconventional props for newborn photography. From dog beds to tables, photographers have explored various avenues to create unique setups. However, the use of collapsible trampolines introduces a significant danger that cannot be ignored.

Unlike static props like tables or dog beds, collapsible trampolines pose a serious risk due to their design. These trampolines are designed to fold for storage, which means they have mechanisms that can snap closed in an instant. While this feature might be convenient for storage purposes, it becomes a hazard when a newborn is placed on top. Further, any use of the device for it’s intended play adds wear and tear.

Trampoline for Newborn Photos: Not Safe

The sudden collapse of the trampoline could lead to catastrophic consequences for the infant. Even with precautions in place, such as ensuring the trampoline is not used for jumping and avoiding models that fold, the risk remains. Any strain on the device increases the likelihood of it wearing out, potentially leading to an unexpected collapse. Since safety is my top priority, I choose not to use any trampoline for newborn photos.

To prioritize safety in newborn photography, it’s crucial to opt for props that have been specifically designed and tested for such purposes. Top-down shots can easily be achieved using a clean backdrop on the floor, paired with props that meet safety standards. Investing in proper equipment may require more effort and resources, but the peace of mind it provides is invaluable.

In conclusion, the allure of using unconventional props for newborn photography should never compromise the safety of the infant. The risks associated with collapsible child’s trampolines far outweigh any potential benefits. Safety should always be the top priority, and it’s essential to use props that have been designed and tested for newborn photography. Remember, when it comes to capturing those precious moments, nothing is more important than ensuring the well-being of the baby.
