We’re FINALLY having professional family photos taken next weekend and I’m so excited! (There is a small chance it might not happen due to C developing a very persistent stye in his eye – of course - but I’m sticking my head firmly into the sand and moving forward with haircuts, outfit selection, and the like as if everything will go off without a hitch.)
I found this wonderful photographer through a question/comment she left right here at MPMK. As shoot time approaches, we’ve been emailing about the details and one of the things she asked was whether I prefer a more natural or urban motif. That made my head spin a little. I’d been picturing the standard photos in a grassy field, was she trying to tell me there was another option?
A quick review of photos on pinterest revealed that there certainly was. And just like that I discovered my urban side. I’ll be sure to share the photos once we get them. For today I wanted to share something else I unearthed in my pinterest search, the use of sidewalk chalk as a photo prop. I’ve rounded up 10 easy-to-do-at-home setups. (OK, 9 that are easy-to-do-at-home and 1 that’s completely astounding.) Enjoy and happy weekend!

Love this idea! Hubby is pretty creative with the chalk so I’m thinking we could create something fun for a digital xmas card.
These are so cool
What a fun – and inexpensive! – way to create memorable photos! Thanks for sharing!
Oh my gosh– genius. Maybe we’ll have to try something like this?
The little girl with the umbrella is from burghbaby.com. She has an entire series of amazing chalk photos.
Thank You Maya! It took me a while but I found the original post on her site (so cool) and updated the photo credit.
Very nice! I love love love the chalk ideas. Totally creative! I can’t wait to try them out with my two daughters and maybe even my fiance!
