Should I bring photo props?
short answer: If there are things that help tell your story absolutely! (ie instruments, letterman jackets, sports gear, SBO sweater/jacket, flowers, bicycles, art, etc….make it about who you are!)
Whether or not you should bring photo props to your senior session is up to you. There are pros and cons to both bringing and not bringing props.
Pros of bringing props:
Props can add a touch of fun and personality to your photos.
They can help you to relax and be more comfortable in front of the camera.
They can help to create a more dynamic and interesting photo shoot.
Cons of bringing props:
Props can be distracting and take away from the focus of your photos.
They can be bulky and difficult to carry around.
They can be expensive.
If you decide to bring props to your senior session, it is important to choose props that are appropriate for your personality and style. You should also make sure that the props are not too large or heavy, and that they will not be damaged during the photo shoot.
Here are some ideas for props that you might want to consider bringing to your senior session:
Graduation caps and tassels
Musical instruments
Sports equipment
Books
Flowers
Animals (if you have a pet)
Signs with your name or graduation year
No matter what props you choose, make sure that they are something that you will enjoy using and that they will help you to create photos that you will love for years to come.
