Do I Need To Shoot With Props?
If you know me, you know I love a good prop. But! I also don’t think props are totally necessary for every shoot, every person, every couple, or every family. There’s a ton of ways that props can add personality + movement to photographs but, at the same time, simplicity is a prop all in its own right! So! Today, I am so freaking thrilled to dive into props with y’all on Your Photographer Mom.
Creating this episode was a joy and I’m so excited to share it with you!

Wanna Know This Episode in One Quote? I Got You!
“Props are kind of like people: They can be really reserved, really loud, really colorful, and really quiet. They can be subdued, funny, kitschy, silly, and just a little bit out there. Just like personalities, not all props will hit the same. And that’s totally cool! Everyone starts from a base point and, for some, that means shooting with props. For others, the only prop they want is the wind… and even most of the time they are not really even into that.”
