    Well…I am just starting out but sure find inspiration from all of the posts on here and from other people. My blog is just barely up and running but I definately need to get a lot more on there. I finally have my first non-family client this week, so I am so excited!!

    Just wanted to stop in and say thankyou for all the inspiration. I read your blog daily. I love the polkadot bucket. Might have to go see if my TJ has one. And about my blog . . . I love to have visitors. I recently wrapped up a whole series of posts on a special day of shooting in San Francisco. I was fortunate that families came from several different places to participate in the shoot. I was honored beyond belief to take their pictures!

    I’m still new and working on collecting things, but love the idea of TJMaxx – I’m gonna go today. My most recent find was a children’s chair (already antiqued) for $10! Thanks for all the inspiration!

    My love for photogaphing started back in October… from then I have recieved great reviews on my work… so to me this is scarey but at the same time very very exciting. My website is very new and I am working on it… http://www.kericaphotography.shutterfly.com. How did it get its name? I have to thank my neice, Chaslyn for the name. She couldn’t say Erica, so she called me Kerica and it stuck. Either that will be someday a Design line with Kerica clothing but for now I will settle for Kerica Photography.

    So this website has helped me in many different ways putting props together or going outside and out of the blue I say to family and friends… That would be for a good picture prop. I don’t think they get me, LOL. But I still love them.

    I keep meaning to go into TJ Maxx when I’m in town to look for these cool things, and I just never get there. Maybe I need to make a special trip. Hmmm…

    Anyway, my 365 blog is http://scrivnerburg365.blogspot.com. That’s where I post my daily photos…I think I need some with props! (Must go prop-shopping!)

    Ooh I can’t wait to go and check out everyone’s photo blogs. I am new. I have done a few non-family sessions. Still learning and loving it every day. I use this blog for props ideas, and I also use this blog to find other photographers, see what they are doing and how they are doing it and certainly to BUY PROPS…oh my, this blog is dangerous. I have bought so many things just because of the ideas found here (thanks to Celeste, Eye Candy Actions….so many. I absolutely love my little knitted items, eggs, and cocoons). I will be checking out TJ Maxx soon. While I don’t have a photoblog per say, I do post some of my photos oh my family blog at http://www.4castellanos6.blogspot.com. I was told by another photographer that I should start a photo blog, if only to see progress. So I will do that shortly! Thanks propinsanity for all your “insane” ideas, discounts, and examples.

    i love TJMaxx and they have so fabulous stuff- I have my eye on a couple of buckets- one is hot pink and the other is bright red. I’m definitely a novice but my blog is bittybirdsnapshots.blogspot.com.

    Have to travel a bit to find a TJ Maxx…but it looks like it will be well worth it.

    I posted my flickr page, just getting back into photography after a brief time away and I’m wanting to go at it full force again.

    Posted the Wallace Family….shot at Buhl Park in Hermitage PA…freebie for a friend…hope it leads to others that pay! Check it out and let me know what you like and don’t like.

    Very cool finds!! I love that rug! My website is http://www.AmberSkene.com. I also have a blog, but it doesn’t get updated very often though. I think it’s because I spend too much time checking on your blog ;) . Did you know that Walgreens carries bigger and rounder lolipops for $1.00? They can be hard to find at times, but if you find them, stock up on them! For only $1.00, it’s hard not to buy all you can.

    I JUST found your site. This week’s TJ Maxx flyer (for Eagan, MN) had some awesome, creative pictures of young people in it and on a whim, I thought I’d try to find out who the photographer was (to follow their blog). Your site showed up first in my search.

    I’m just starting out charging minimal fees for my photo work and this week I have a shoot with a very young family who have a 3-month-old. I need ideas!

    I am soooo fortunate to have a TJ Maxx just down the street from me. I will head there today. Plus, I’m going to enjoy checking out everyone else’s blogs that are posted here.
