I am wanting some unique props to use in the family portraits that I am doing. Seriously in need of some advice on this one!
I need ones for boys especially from baby to teenage, also girls from about 8 up .. I have flowers, some cutsie toys for little girls like princess wand, etc but any other help would be greatly appreciated
football. soccer ball... airplane or wooden boat.. teddy bear. hammer, nails and carpenters belt.. a bike, paint cans, chef outfit.. police outfit.. fire outfit,, a dog real or stuffed, a car toy or peddle car.. skates, tools for a mechanic. safari animals.. hope these help..
Oh and I didnt read girls 8 and up. so something like a clothes rack with some hats and boas, beads . purses..
maybe some books. like journals. or teen mags..
shoes. a mirror and some make up.
concert tickets or movie posters.
an I pod or other type of music objects.
Books I think books can make beautiful props. Some of my fav. photos are of my oldest reading to his little sisters. A dirty baseball resting in a mitt (I live in US so it's big here). old cowboy boots, ballet shoes, golf club, game controllers. The big photo prop this week at my house is a simple wood plank swing hung in a tree in our yard. You could easily put on inside if you couldn't do one outside. My husband and family love any photo I take with my son holding golf clubs or anything related to baseball. Bean bag chairs or floor pillows are fun. OH! Wooden blocks! I'm not a photographer but I take photos of my kids every day and over the last 11 years I have used my wooden blocks more times than I can count. I snap pictures while they build towers. I spell out the child's name with the blocks. We keep them in a wooden wagon that the kids sit in and pull around. Maybe a sports magazine? My 11 year old son LOVES to read sports mags. Puppets are fun very colorful and make for fun props.
After taking a quick look around my house I have a few more ideas. Microphone (for children who love to sing), large head set (ear muff type), yoyo, sling shot, fishing pole, bubbles, a chalkboard and chalk, a paint easel, large Tonka trucks, sand toys, old metal toolbox, pool toys, pails, jump rope, hula hoop, super hero cape, or chess set.
