Props for seniors photos - 11-16-2006, 08:16 AM


Where in the Ft Worth/Dallas area will you find those big "0" and "6" that you see in a lot of seniors pics?
I see a lot of high key shot with with the kids and these numbers "06" or next year "07" or even the word "Seniors".
I'm going to call a bunch of places but thought maybe some here know a place that they prefer.

These types of props are not usually found locally. You will have to order them from a speciality supply, such as Denny's, Knowledge Backgrounds, Larry Peters, etc.

Just depends on what you want, size, etc. Be prepared, you probably aren't going to like the cost of some of this stuff.

Yep. Don told us the name of the place at his workshop, but I can't remember it. It's in Dallas somewhere, I think. Send Don a PM. I bet he has all sorts of good info on this subject.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Tom.

The company is American Photographic Resources and they are located in Ft. Worth near Loop 820 in the area of Northeast Mall. The owners are Richard and Natalie Osborne and they are real nice folks. If you mention my name they will probably charge you extra. https://www.aprprops.com

The company was originally started about 15 or so years ago by Natalie's mom and dad out of their garage in Keller. It only took them a couple of years to outgrow that and go national.
