10 Brilliant Prop Ideas for Visibility School

Next week is the monthly Visibility School photoshoots, so I’m sharing 10 Brilliant Prop Ideas for Visibility School (plus they’d work for any other type of photoshoot too).

Hobbies

If you want people to get to know you a little bit more, perhaps you could include your hobbies when you’re thinking about prop ideas.

Plans/Drawings

If you’re an interior designer like Deborah of Zebra Interiors then you’ll often use architect plans and drawings, so it might be good to include them in your photos.

Balloons

If you’re thinking about prop ideas perhaps like Sam who was about to bring out her new book ” The Network Marketing Revolution” – you could include some balloons. Maybe you’ve got a business birthday coming up or even a “big” birthday?

Books

If you’ve written a book then it makes sense to bring a copy along to your shoot. Vivienne Rawnsley The Life Editor had two books to share.

Personalised Mugs

Maybe like Lisa of Thinking Cap you could include something personalised. Lisa runs training on LinkedIn called Lingo.

Confetti

Confetti is pretty versatile for photos. It’s great to create a picture to share a celebration like “5 years in business” or “10 years since you quit full time employment” or to just create a fun image – like this one for Wedding Photographer Hannah Brooke

Quirky props

If there’s something that you’re know for… like Branding expert Clare of Make a Brew we can definitely include it!

And if you fancy a bit more inspiration take a look at my PROP SHOP .

And when you’re ready, here are three ways that I can help you:

1) Visit my blog for tips on VISIBILITY.

Every week I discuss strategies to improve your visibility, get over your fear of visibility and my latest shoots. Read here

2) Plan a bespoke photoshoot.

We can plan a shoot based on what you actually need (read more) or you could join me at a Branding Day.

3) Join ‘Visibility School’.

Visibility school is a membership group where you get 12 months of photoshoots, a fab little Facebook group and lots of bonus content too (new for 2023 members) . Read

Hi There!

Meet Maryanne

I’m a 40 (ahem something…) year old Yorkshire woman.

I’ve been self employed for 10 years (and a photographer for 18) and I totally understand how difficult it is to be visible in business.

Whether that’s because of a lack of self confidence, feeling a bit frumpy or the physical side effects of peri-menopause (hot sweats and forgetfulness anyone) – I promise you I’ve seen it all and still get great photos at every photoshoot.

I honestly feel so honoured when people book me, because they believe that I really want the best outcome for you. There’s no point having a fancy photoshoot if it doesn’t feel authentic to you.

My aim for every shoot is to get photos and video that you actually want to share… and I’ll be there in the side lines cheering you on!
