Props for Poses! | Gilbert Family Photography

Bring your own props to Lamar Studios as our friends and neighbors the Walls did for their family photography session. We often find ourselves encouraging high school seniors to bring items to their photo shoot which portray who they are such as an instrument or sports uniform. Why not capture the same representation of families? For the Walls, one of these props included their family blue beach cruiser. Add an E.B. Browning quote and some red hydrangeas and you have a one of a kind vintage setting for your photos. Placed into a chalkboard card, these family photos made the perfect fit for some tasteful Christmas cards.

This is one of the many Christmas cards we have had the pleasure of creating for our family clientele and we hope they have brought many smiles to your loved ones.

Hope you had a Merry Christmas!
