I thought I'd share some of the fun props I've been collecting over the last few months that I look forward to using in future photo shoots.
How fun are these vintage suitcases? The bottom trunk/suitcase, I just picked up today! The top one was my Oma's and forever, it has held my old Barbie collection. I can't wait to sit a child atop this pile, or open one up and gently place a newborn baby inside...
a picnic basket, words with blocks or Scrabble letters, a chalkboard to spark your imagination
a frame within a frame...
I can't wait to use this chair. Love the color, first of all and I have so many ideas for using it!
A few months ago, I had a company called Treasures by Tiffany make me 12 inch letters that spelled the words FAMILY, LOVE and JOY (and anything else those letters spell...MAIL? VEAL? LOAM? :) If you scroll down and check out my last post, you'll see I used the word FAMILY for the T. photo shoot. I can't wait to use these more - for Christmas photos, engagement shots, baby announcement pictures....the list is endless.
Ok, I LOVE this ladder. It's worn, rusty, a bit rickety, but hopefully if I don't stack too many children on the rungs, it'll make for some fun shots...
Something like this? (except not so cheesy!)
Last but not least, a gorgeous purple vintage-looking chair that only cost me $40. Love it! Can't you see a bride sitting in it, smelling her bouquet distractedly, a baby curled up on the seat, a grade 12 beauty with legs casually tossed over the arm rest...YES!
The only thing left on my wish list is a colorful patchwork quilt - you know, the kind your Grandma had sitting in the linen closet
