Prop trunk
My Prop Trunk is a growing collection of spooky, gothic, creepy, romantic, weird, and downright cool pieces available to use during your session. Whether you're planning a gothic portrait session, creative couple's photos, witchy branding, Halloween-inspired portraits, or just want to add something unexpected to your shoot, there's plenty to play with.
Think bones, tarot cards, vintage-inspired pieces, mysterious objects, romantic details, creepy curiosities, and everything in between. You don't need a specific theme or a perfectly planned concept, either. If something catches your eye, we can build the session around it.
Great to add to any session!
Why use props?
Not sure what to do with your hands? Want your photos to feel like more than just standing around and smiling at the camera? Props can completely change the energy of a session.
They give you something to interact with, create movement, help tell a story, and can turn a simple portrait into something that feels intentional, cinematic, weird, romantic, or completely you.
And you don't need to be a model to use them well. I'll help you figure out how to incorporate them naturally so you're not looking awkward.
Whether it's pulling a tarot card, holding a skull, flipping through an old book, or something unexpected, props can give us more variety, more personality, and more opportunities to create images that don't look like everyone else's.
You don't have to know exactly what you want. You just have to be willing to experiment!

Ask or make a suggestion! I'm always adding new pieces and love finding weird, interesting, and unexpected things to bring to future sessions.
Make it yours
Props aren't meant to take over your photos. They add personality, tell a story, or make things a little more fun.
Use them however you want. Hold them. Interact with them. Build a whole concept around them. It's fun to see where it takes us!
From witchy and gothic to romantic, eerie, alternative, vintage, cinematic, or just plain strange, your session can be whatever you want it to be.
And if you're not sure what you want, that's what I'm here for. We can brainstorm outfits, locations, props, poses, and ideas together to create something that feels like you instead of another cookie-cutter photoshoot.
Just bring yourself and your outfits. I'll take care of the rest and bring a trunk full of questionable objects with me for us to experiment with!
