Should You Bring Props to Your Photo Shoot?

Props can tell your story — but only when done right.

Bringing a few personal items can add meaning, humour, or depth to your shoot. Here’s how to do it tastefully:

✅ For family sessions: your child’s favourite toy, a book you read together, or picnic elements

✅ For portraits: instruments, a favourite mug, journal, or hat

✅ For couples: champagne, flowers, or something tied to your story (travel book, map, keychain, etc.)

Less is more. We recommend 1–3 simple items that don’t overpower the mood. If in doubt, chat to us first — we’ll help you curate a look that enhances your story, not distracts from it.
