more on family photos - props?

[jennlin]

what kind of props would you bring to family photos at a park? (two 2 yo's, one 6 mo)

right now, we're bringing a bumbo (with a snazzy printed cover), a wagon, bubbles, and a blanket.

Cute CDs? Some stuffed animals? Depending on where you're going, maybe some gardening tools, assuming the park has a playground with sand.

Hats and sunglasses, in case the weather is hot, but this entire week is supposed to be rainy. When are your photos again?

Cute, squeaky toys to get the attention of the baby to look at the camera.

i don't think it'll be warm enough for cute CD's...it'll be end of april, early may... jgg is being awesome and flexible with us so that we can do it on a non-rainy day...and we'll just make it work.

i think the park was woodchips, not sand..

hats and sunglasses is good idea.

attention grabbing toys, good idea.

maybe some flowers

You seem to have it pretty well covered!

I second the squeaky toys, they always seem to work best!

I also always love books!

We have a set of alphabet blocks that we use to spell out "MOM", "DAD", his name, etc. The last photo shoot was at the library, so they had stuffed animals and books too. We brought a favorite stuffed animal from home as well.

@jennuinne, we don't have a lot of balls bjl plays with... we're not really sports people . my nephew might want some though...now i gotta figure out where i can borrow one--- my brother is a big seahawk fan. anybody have like a kids seahawk football i may borrow??

dana86 i suppose i can google this--but what would we do with the flowers? what kind do you rec? i'm imagining some big long gerber daises. can we get those at the grocery store?

MrsH2010 i like the idea of books! maybe try really hard to get bjl to read to her baby brother!

niq, we have blocks too. i guess those are always good to make them say stuff

jennlin gerber daises are exactly what I was thinking. A little bit of color and they can be cute for the kids to just be holding, sniffing. I'll see if I can find a few picture ideas
