I find mine about anywhere. I look for big pots, baskets, tubs & small furniture that lends itself to a small child or baby. I am currently looking for a small vintage luggage for a vintage session.. Yard sales, used marts & stores geared towards kids & babies are a great place to start. Don't forget to have lots of towels, pillows & blankets to help prop baby in a pleasing pose. Take a look at my popcorn pic if you haven't already.

My wife does some infant photography work she will love these shots. I'm not sure where she is getting her props, I'll need to ask her. Nice work.

the second shot is just a rolled towel under the mother's wrist then covered with a black polar fleece blanket. I used a seamless black canvas background. I then put the baby on her belly in mom's arms & got a close up.

The last shot was simply a Boppy with the baby on his stomach. Since the cover on the Boppy was bright & multicolored, I turned the picture B&W to make the baby the center focus & the dots to be less distracting.
