Using cheap props make for some great photos. Especially when it comes to taking portraits of kids. It's one way to get them to have fun which creates great smiles.
My personal favorite prop is the balloon.
You can use large industrial sized helium filled ones. Instant fun.
OR, simple balloons you can get from the grocery store that you blow up yourself.
Just make sure you supervise the children, expecially babies with balloons. Never let babies bite the latex balloons. They can pop when they bite them and it scares the baby so he inhales quickly and ends up choking on them. So this is a very short balloon portrait session. Long enough to get the picture, then off to a new toy.
Other prop ideas:
1. Cardboard box-made to look like a car or airplane
2. long piece of fabric to make a cape-"Super Boy!"
3. tea sets for a tea parties
4. too-too's for little girls
5. anything that sparks their imagination
Until next time, happy snapping. And be sure to visit www.miragesbymarilyn.com for more beautiful pictures.
