St. Louis Photographer » A Journal by Holly McCaig

I created these little crafty bits of cuteness a while ago, but knew that I would eventually need to get them printed out for my own use (which we will be using this Saturday). You see, for weddings that book with us starting in January, we set up our backdrop and have props at receptions. This is just a fun way for guests to interact and it’s no extra cost to the bride & groom. While we’re not a photobooth company, it’s a little something extra we like to provide to our clients. Remember, we recommend CI PhotoBooth for on-site printing and a real photobooth service to hire!

These are some of the props I created to set up at weddings. They are fun, easy, and disposable – let’s face it, parties can get a little crazy. If you lose one of these bad boys you won’t be out a lot of money. You can easily re-print what you need and, I love that I can customize the thought bubble ones for each event. Cool huh?

If you’re a professional photography company or a photobooth company and you use our items, please share your images on your blog with us! We may just reward you! Purchase them here at Pink Ink Studios – scroll through my personal store to see all of them.

Print them on heavy duty card stock. I used a textured stock for embossing on at my local craft store.

Cut them out and adhere with a glue gun – the little dowels are found at any craft store or hardware store.

Then, display them in a cute jar at your next event!

I wanted to create some new props to use for Lollipop Smiles and for parties or other fun sessions and figured it was a good idea to share them with other photographers (or just for anyone really). So, I have a line of new products now at Pink Ink Studios. They are called Smiley Faces. Simple printouts that you download after purchasing. Print on cardstock and cut out. Adhere to dowel sticks or anything you want really. Here’s some that Amanda’s cutie pie, Miss. Haley printed and attached to some fun straws. She loved the pink set of mustaches!

The beauty of these things is that if they get stolen (which let’s face it, happens at parties and events) then you can easily print out new ones. Plus, it’s not an expensive investment. Great for photobooths and wedding receptions too! I have a bunch to start out!

You can get the lips in pink and in red.

The mustaches come in brown, pink, blue and woodgrain.

I have ideas for more, and will do a post if you all buy and use them. Send me your pictures and I’ll share them here. If I use your photo then I’ll send you another set for free. Visit my store at Pink Ink Studios to purchase.
