Here is an example of some of the items I have in my prop collection. Some of these props that I use to create memories for you, in fact, also stir memories for me.
The most meaningful memories are attached to the photo on the middle right. That sock monkey is not from Target or Amazon. He was lovingly made by volunteers at the UNC Hospital where my youngest began his troublemaking career. The blanket on the side of him was knitted as a present for my oldest. My boys both played with the wooden bulldozer to the left.

I've found many of these props perusing antique stores and thrift shops. I scrutinize these places with a photographer's eye as I walk around making sure not to miss athing.
Yet other items are made by myself or my friends. I came up with the idea for the umbrella back in March. I didn't find everything I needed to make it until this month but I'm very pleased with the outcome. I can't wait to use it in a session! My friend Christi knitted all of the beautiful items that my kids' stuffed animal are modeling while sitting in my super cute Coca Cola crate, an epic find.
I hope you enjoyed a glimpse into my prop collection. This is just a small part of it. If you haven't liked my Facebook page yet go check it out now! You can link to it right from the top of the blog. You'll be able to see these and other props at work and also see my sessions where I don't use any at all, which is usually the case.
