Winner of the 2012 Professional Photographer Hot One 'Posing Tool' Category, the SHOOT BABY!™ Ottoman Posing Beanbag provides professional photographers with a practical and stylish beanbag on which to pose/photograph newborns and babies. Our professionally made Ottomans are well known and trusted in the baby photography industry and are used by studios such as Baby As Art, Kristen Cook and Little Posers Photography.
The Vinyl Ottoman is made from a soft faux leather and is very convenient for cleaning up little 'accidents'. With it's large, flat surface area, it provides the perfect 'canvas' on which to create your art and gives you unrestricted creative control over posing (with and without rolled up bunny rugs/receiving blankets, boppy pillows, etc).
WHAT SETS THE SHOOT BABY!™ OTTOMAN APART FROM TRADITIONAL BEANBAGS AND OTHER PUCK STYLE BEANBAGS?
The SHOOT BABY!™ Ottoman Posing Beanbag is not only original, but is unique in it's design and functionality. Here are the keys point to note:
- The SHOOT BABY!™ Ottoman has a large flat top which gives you unrestricted creative control over posing (with and without rolled up bunny rugs/receiving blankets, boppy pillows, etc)
- The SHOOT BABY!™ Ottoman Posing Beanbag features 2 anti-burst inner bags for the polystyrene beans (not included). This serves a few purposes. It allows the photographer to adjust the firmness of the beanbag by having either one or both of the bags inserted. Because of the removable inner bags, the beanbag can also be 'taken apart' for easy transportation in smaller vehicles (for those on-location sessions!)
- The SHOOT BABY!™ Ottoman uses safety zippers for containment of the polystyrene beans. Polystyrene beans present a severe danger to children if swallowed or inhaled.

You may want slightly less beans in your beanbag. Some photographers like their beanbag very full and firm, some prefer theirs a little softer, so adjust to taste if desired.
