I made one of these (a blue one that says "Be Mine") for my Valentine's Day mini sessions, and it was a hit! They're easy to make and only cost about $5 each, including the wood heart, the paint, and the brushes.

2. Bow Tie

Bow Tie You can make matching ties for daddy and his little man for your next family shoot (blue plaid is always an excellent choice) or you can make one with little shamrocks for a St. Paddy's Day shoot... or a rainbow one for a rainbow baby newborn shoot... the possibilities are endless, and your prop box will runneth over.

3. St. Patrick's Day Photo Props
