cheap props for children photography

Hello everyone,

I'm just starting a small portrait studio business and i mostly photograph children. i was wondering what kind of

props do you use and if you have any suggestions about props that i could make myself (please keep in mind that i

am from Greece and thus my recourses are limited and i have to make a lot of things by myself)

Thank you in advance for your help.

balloons!!! and bubbles!

<p>Go to www.etsy.com and look up photography props. You will find all kinds ideas for knitted pods, cocoons, hats, tutu's and baby leggin's.<br>

Also, a bean bag covered with textured fabrics will be your best friend for posing babies who can't sit.<br>

Go to an antique store and look at old paint step stools, children's rocking chairs etc.<br>

For additional inspiration look at other photography sites...thats where I get my ideas!</p>

<p>colorful and soft toys, dogs would be nice props. and for outdoor props my vote goes to bright sun, umbrella, flower, dry leaves , or a nice hat :)</p>

<p>A hammer and nails to nail their feet to the floor LOL.</p>
