Singing the Praises of an Off Spring Prop!!

Awww, look at sweet baby Malachi!

He's growing up so fast!

Just the other day, I went to take pictures of baby Malachi and I was having a dickens of a time getting him to hold still long enough to get a picture that was not an action shot and then getting him to look at me, then getting him to remotely resemble a pose! That was up until... I used my new incredibly awesome prop... an Off Spring Prop!

It is so cool! I can't believe I have gone all this time without ever using one, but I'm telling you, No More!! I am bringing this thing with me to every photo shoot from now on!

Seriously! If you are having a hard time getting young children, toddlers and/or babies to settle in for the shoot, I'm advising you have to get one! It is well worth the investment of time, effort and money as in the long run you will be guaranteed fabulous results just like the sweet photo of Malachi above!

You wouldn't believe the difference it made! And if you are hard pressed to get a hold of one locally you can rent one, heck, I'll even rent you mine providing I don't need it for the day... and at a reasonable price too!

And I must add, one of the most amazing features of this prop is it's portability. No lugging around heavy chairs or bulky bean bag seats! This thing is amazing in it's maneuverability too! It bends and folds to fit almost any seating situation you may find yourself needing!

So have I utterly convinced to put this at the top of your photography must-have's list?

Are you drooling with anticipation of using one?

Are you curious as to how it works and what it looks like?

READ ON!

You may be one of the lucky ones...

who will be using one soon!!!

Introducing to you ...

The Most Awesomely Spectacular...

OFF SPRING PROP!

Hehehehehe!

Get it? Webster is my 'offspring'... and is being used as a prop and that makes him an Off Spring Prop?

And that means that if you have offspring you can have one too just like mine!

Okay, maybe not just like mine... they do come in different shapes and sizes.

And I know, I know... this is a stretch of the imagination but I thought the picture was so funny when I saw it... but somehow the funny loses it's funnieness when you have to explain it?

Oh well...

*shrugs*

Oh wait! I wanted to include this picture also...

I gave him a haircut!

The Washington County Fair Photo Contest

And speaking of fairs... for the past few years, well, it's been three to be exact, ever since we moved to the great state of RI, I have been entering pictures in the Washington County fair.

You have to be an amateur to enter, and that is what I am, and this will probably be the closest I will Ever come to having my pictures in the lime light Ü... but not that that is important to me... I do it just for fun.

I just love photography!

I can actually remember the first picture I ever took. I was seven years old using a brownie camera. It was a black and white snapshot of my cat on the lawn. I was fascinated!

That is when the seed was planted but it didn't begin to sprout until many years later when I was in highschool and I bought my first slr. And then my fascination turned into love!

But now, with digital photography and computer post processing that seed that was planted so long ago has become a tree with the sky as the limit! Seriously, how exciting is that! Ü

And not only that, I believe that I may have a budding seedling in my own son! Ü

One day, unbeknownst to me, Webster took my camera and took the picture below that we also entered in the fair in the Jr. Division and he won first place!
