The new Baby Posing Coat is made of soft velvet-like, light absorbing fabric. It effectively becomes the background of the shot without it being obvious the parent is involved. The hood can ‘disguise’ the head of the parent for ‘over the shoulder’ shots, whilst the large sleeves allow the parent’s hands to be hidden or exposed. The coat reduces the child’s stress and anxiety by allowing the parent to hold them, thus helping the shoot to run smoothly. Available in one size, the coat is secured with hook and loop fastenings.

Main Features and Benefits

• Made of soft, light absorbing fabric
• Hood and sleeves to disguise head and hands of parent
• One size fits all
