- Balloons and Flowers
It may sound odd to put these in the same category as they are very different objects, but in photos they achieve the same effect. They provide beautiful pops of colour in the background as well as add a sweetness and innocence when held by children. And since they are so visually appealing, they may also elicit some big smiles and looks of wonder from your subjects.
- Colourful Furniture
Furniture is always a great prop for a photo shoot. It’s functional and visually interesting at the same time – especially when painted in bright colours or upholstered in beautiful prints. Little kids sitting on little furniture also makes for a universally adorable picture. Kids themselves love when they get to interact with objects that are specifically designed for their size and stature.
- Comfort Objects
When your kid gets to cuddle with a beloved stuffed animal, play with their favourite toy or hold onto their security blanket, in addition to providing visually interesting props for the photo, it will keep them relaxed and at ease, which will naturally create a great photo. It will also help you encapsulate a part of their personality at that particular stage in their childhood.
Props can be a fun and creative way to make your family photos beautiful and unique as long as your family shines through as the true stars. What are some of your favourite props to use in family photos?
