DIY Wood floor back/floor drop

How many of you out there have looked into purchasing those amazing wood floor back drops?? I know I have and they are expensive!!!! So I did some shopping around.. I went to my local Lowes store and checked out the laminate flooring.. They had a great faux wood laminate and it was on clearance!! The great thing about this flooring.. Its not papery thin.. So i don't have to worry about it ripping.. and it will be great for those first year cake smash photos.. because the flooring is made for the kitchen it will clean right up!!! So before you go spending all that money on wood floor backdrops and waiting to have it shipped to you.. Go check out your local Lowes or Home Depot!! I bet you can save a lot of money!!!


Thursday

Photo Prop DIY

So today I thought I'd share one of my favorite DIY photo props!!! I know you have seen them!! They seem to be everywhere lately!!


You can find ones like this at Micheal's!!

Or you can find ones like this at any of your antique shops or go digging around in grandpa's old barn..


Then you can grab some craft paint.. I personally like pastels, especially for newborns, babies, and kids, Or if you like the antique look you can leave them as you find them!

Be sure to paint them inside and out and don't miss a spot because it will be sure to show up in you pictures!!!


Then you end up with something like this!!!! Hope you enjoy... This is a fun little project..  And if you have children just take it project out side and they can help paint too!!!




Friday

Thanks again to all the great designers that participated!! This was not an easy decision!!!

Thursday

Photo Packing DIY

One way to thank your clients and get them excited about their photo cd is to get a little creative with your packaging! Their are SO many ways to spice up your packaging with out going over board!! Simply add a little twine with a tag and write their name or thank you! Or add some ribbon.. That's pretty simple!! You can also find some cute paper and look online for some sort of template! It's pretty simple.. Im sure everyone can trace and cut! Here are some examples below!!!



I also wanted to share a little idea that I personally use!!! I'm sure most photographers have a copyright release!! Here's a cute idea for a simple release! I went to vista print and had mine made for free!! Just pay shipping!! Put them on BUSINESS CARDS!! Awesome right?? Then they can fit right in with the packaging for safe keeping!!

Moms & Photographers against Bullying Giveaway!!!! (closed)

Bullying can happen anywhere: face-to-face, by text messages or on the web. It is not limited by age, gender, or education level. Everyone can help prevent and stop bullying. As adults we have the responsibility to protect and be a role model for our kids, teens, and young adults.  No matter who you are or who you represent, you can influence lives and maybe even save a life. Everyone needs to be aware not only about the warning signs and effects of bullying, but also about the ways to intervene and support both the person being bullied and the one bullying others.

Last week I came across a fellow photographer being ridiculously cyber bullied. Photographers from all over are posting awful things on her page! It breaks my heart to see "adults" acting in such a terrible way when our children and schools are trying to stop bullying everyday! We as adults should be setting an example not encouraging the bullying!! I have put together a giveaway! But not just any giveaway! This is a photographers against bullying giveaway that we will be hosting! I have contacted several amazing vendors all wanting to donate and help raise awareness against bullying!! We need to send a message that bullying is UNACCEPTABLE!!! And we as adults should NOT BE encouraging such a behavior!! Most of us (photographers, parents, human beings) have made mistakes some of them were small.. some huge! We know what its like. We should NOT be bullying other people for making mistakes.. Instead we should be encouraging them, educating them, and helping them learn from their mistakes!! We hope you will all join us in taking a stand against bullying and entering this contest!!! 

So who want to know how to win??? Here we go! 1st! You must like EVERY vendor's fb page AND show some love!! After you have done that! Come back here and comment that you liked and shared some love!!! 2nd- Post on your fb page --->    Take a stand against bullying!! And enter to win at @non stop props ! I did!!  <--- Then come back here and comment that you did!! 3rd like Non Stop Props on Facebook!!! You must complete 1,2 & 3 to be entered into the contest!! For extra entries you may tweet about this giveaway, follow our vendors on twitter, check out their etsy/website and let us know what you liked best!
