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!!!

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!!
