The right props…

With props, think of items that describe you, your personality or are really important to you or the children.

Think about your hobbies or pastimes. For example guitars and other musical instruments, favourite children’s book, the wii controllers (if they are anything like my children), sports equipment, horse saddles, favourite team scarf/football etc, motorbikes, crash hats, judo kits etc.

Think where in the home you want the portrait for, I had a family in for a sitting once and they wanted a series of portraits to go in their kitchen so they brought kitchen aprons, chefs outfits and kitchen equipment as props!! It worked brilliantly.
