For those who dream in magic, myths, and legends.

If you’ve ever imagined yourself stepping into an enchanted forest, wielding a sword, wearing a crown, or role playing as your favorite book or movie character, fantasy photography might just be your perfect match. These sessions are where imagination takes the lead, and props can help bring those daydreams to life.

Whatever magical vibe you want to portray, here are some of my absolute favorite props to elevate your fantasy session:

A Sword

There’s something about holding a sword that shifts your whole posture—you just suddenly become the character. Whether you're going for a regal warrior vibe or more of a dark, brooding hero, a sword instantly adds strength and cinematic flair to your session. Plus, it's looks so cool.

Bow and Arrow

The perfect mix of elegance and edge. A bow and arrow creates amazing lines for posing and brings an adventurous, wild-hearted feel to your images. It’s a go-to for characters inspired by hunters, rebels, or forest guardians.

Cloak or Cape

Want instant drama? Bring a cloak. They flow beautifully, catch the light and wind, and add texture and movement to your photos. Cloaks are easy prop to add as they can quickly change an outfit and add an extra layer to play around with in posing. Deep jewel tones like emerald, wine, and sapphire look especially stunning, but earth tones or all-black are strikingly beautiful too.

Crown, Circlet, or Tiara

A crown doesn’t only symbolize royalty—it tells a story. Whether you’re styled as a ruling queen, a fae princess, or something entirely your own, headpieces can completely elevate the tone of your session looking totally ethereal.

Bonus Tip: Let the Story Lead

The best fantasy sessions start with a vibe. Are you cosplaying as a character? Are you a fierce warrior? A lost royal? A soft woodland witch? Let that narrative help you choose your props, outfits, and location. I’ll help you bring that vision to life with styling tips, location ideas, posing guidance, and maybe even a little music to set the mood.

Let’s create something magical together.

Small details can carry big meaning. Think rings, necklaces, magical pendants, corsets, nails, or anything that could be part of your character’s story. These pieces work great for close-ups and add amazing details that enhance the magic.
