I am a photographer and I would like to find out how to make safe photo props for infants and small children.?



As a studio photographer, I am looking for inexpensive ways to make small safe photo props for infants and small children. I want something like a small nest for newborns to lay in or toadstools for children to sit on. I am trying to find ways to set up shots for photos in the same likeness as Anne Geddes, yet with my own style and vision.

Does anyone have any ideas they can share to help me get on the right track in building these?

I need ideas on how to make the following items:

Toadstool (Mushrooms)
Large ABC Block -Stool
Freestanding Letters
ect.

I will post pics of completed props in use and notes on the construction of them if I get enough responses.
Thanks for any help.

Toadstool would play safely with infants that might fall on them, if you considered covering the wooden parts with foam and plastic (to cover the foam and keep the foam protected) material like those used to make plastic slip covers for furniture. The question here would be if you can possibly find the plastic material that won't reflect glare from the strobes or lighting source.

I would imagine that the large letter cutouts can be made out of thick sponge foam in case they should fall or if the child hits it... they would also not reflect glare.

Is this what you refer to insofar as ideas? Good luck and best wishes (someone who works making furniture or reupholstering furniture could probably show you or give you some ideas on how to cut the foam and make the seating for the infants with a soft overing in case they bob and slip and bang themselves on the surface of the posing furniture). Good luck and best wishes.
