Adding Props to Your Photography Session

Adding Props to Your Session: Show Your Personality!

A Guide: Adding Props to Your Photography Session. I am SO excited for our upcoming session! Feel free to bring dogs and props to incorporate. Props are totally optional! Some clients have fun ideas that speak to their personality. Usually, the role of the props in photography is to help add character and interest to a photo, or to add context to the scene. For some ideas on how to make your session unique, view some of my suggestions below. I suggest having 2-3 props max, which we can utilize during our time shooting.

Words can not express how thankful and happy we are that we chose Monica to capture our perfect day. She made us feel both comfortable and confident in the whole process. She has this ease that makes you feel you’ve known her for years. Her kindness, personality, and professionalism was beyond what we could have hoped for. Her communication and organization was so impressive as well (I am far from organized)! Our photos are AMAZING, they are perfect. We wish we could do it all over again, and again. Seriously, book her right now! Best choice we could have made, and she helped make our day so wonderfully memorable and way less stressful.
