Tickle Trunk Photo Shoot

Recently, I had an awesome play date with some Momma friends of mine and their babes.  The theme?  Old fashioned, tickle trunk photo shoot!  I set up a snack table with coffee and tea for the adults, juice, and a snack-bar of cheerios, cookies, goldfish, raisins and berries for the little ones.  I wish I had gotten a picture of the snack bar!

It was a lot of fun!  I only bought a few props for the shoot, everything else was stuff from around the house.  The props I did buy, were either second hand or dollarstore items and maybe totalled $10.  The bench was from the front entry of my home, the backdrops were bed sheets, typewriter and radio I had laying around, table and chair from Foster's play area.  There were no 'meltdowns', the babes were all smiles and completely tuckered out by the end!

One of the best things about this play date?  Everyone ended up with some fun photo's of their little ones (if I do say so myself).  Another 'best' thing about the play date?  The out-take pictures!

One of my favourite pictures is the top right corner... notice the shirtless blond boy hitting the background and squealing?  Yep... he's mine!  The picture on the bottom left?  We were trying to wrangle them all for a group shot.  HA!  Like that was going to happen!

Finish the photo shoot party off with a little goodie bag for the kiddies and call it a wrap.  I will definitely do this again.  Plans are already turning in my head for a summertime event!  Any thoughts on a summertime theme?  I would love to hear your ideas!
