The ModStyle Shot

Well this is a first of many Mod Style Shot suggestions for photogs!!! 
My goal is to try and provide photographers with an opportunity to have an entire shoot put together.....something mod, trendy, new, and fun!  Since I am a prop designer I keep up with all the new trends on props and can hopefully give all of you the heads up and keep you updated on the New Mod Styles that are surfacing in the prop and photog world!  With that said if anyone has any ideas they would like to see come to life please feel free to email me at chicbebe@bell.net!  I would love to hear any new ideas or style shots that you may have!!!

For this Mod Style Shot we used the Chic BumbleBee Beanie and NEW bum warmer!  These bum warmers are all the new rave and on top of looking super duper cute they are so easy for you photogs!  Drop on a cute little newbie bum and there is no fiddling with a  diaper cover!  Any hat can have a sweet little bum warmer added or if you prefer and like the look of a diaper cover better, you can also request that!

Why don't we start with how this shot looks like behind the scenes!!

The Talented and outstanding McCarthy Photography gave us a behind the scenes look at her set up for this bumble bee shoot!  It is nice to be able to see a pull back shot of what exactly photographers are doing so that you can get an idea and feel for what this looks like behind the scenes and how photogs are getting their end results!


When talking with Natasha from McCarthy Photography her advise on pairing floors with backdrops was to "Try and keep lighter backdrops with lighter floors and darker backdrops with darker floors" this will flow better and help with blending during editing. 

Natasha used floors from PhotoProp Floors and Backdrops for both of these setups.  In the picture below you can see the actual backdrop and floor images embeded into the set up image.  This gives us a great view on how Natasha eyed and paired up the floors and backdrops.



For the specific lowdon on floors and backdrops you will find below all you need to know to order these combos from PhotoProp Floors and Backdrops!

This is the actual backdrop used for the upper set up and is called:
Grunge 86 527X7 ft
This is the actual floor used for the upper set up and is called:
Wood 57 52X7 ft
This is the actual backdrop used for the lower set up and is called:
Grunge 107 52X7 ft
This is the actual floor used in the lower set up and is called:
Wood 227 52X7 ft

So with all this talent Natasha put forth and the super awesome backdrops from PhotoProp Floors and my working little hands working hard on creations here is the final image!

Absolutely Stunning!!!
So cute and so sweet perfect for your spring, summer or Halloween shoot!!!  Who could resist that little stinger stickin' up in the air paired up with that super cute baby squishiness, one couldn't ask for a more perfect picture!

And if you thought this blog was over with great surprises you must guess again!  McCarthy photography is offering a free download on card templates that go super duper cute with this set up plus two more!  Check out these awesome designs!!!

All you have to do is be a fan of McCarthy Phtoography Page in order to download!!!  Please be sure to leave some love on her page as well!  Is so super fantastic that we have photographers as great as Natasha out there sharing her tips and setups!!!!

When I was little..............


Well, when I was little all I wanted to be was a witch every year for Halloween!  AND every year my Mom would ask me "ARE you SURE! you want to be that again this year?"  LOL....and every year I would tell her "Yes!"  The absolute funny thing is that I was terrified of witches!!!  I watched The Wizard of Oz once and that was it for me!  That Darn wicked witch of the west was enought to curl my toes!!!!!   And you know every time I see someone with a basket and a vintage bike you know what goes through my head don't you?! "dun dun dun dun da da.....dun dun dun dun da da"  The spooky music you hear while seeing that scary lady ride her bike by the window!  :D  My husband laughs everytime I start singing when we pass a bike that looks similar! 
Childhood memories and influences last a lifetime don't they?  I think that is why I love this photo so much and am in absolute love with this sweet little creation!  :D  I hope that you enjoy it as much as I had a million memories flood back of all the little witch antics I had when I was little........

You can find this sweet little Witcherella Mini Top Hat Here at my
