It is a private group so you have to apply to join.\u00a0 It helps if you have a business page to show you are actually in business.\u00a0 There are a lot of newborn wraps, headbands and all sorts of smaller props on there, but people also sell backdrops, maternity dresses, furniture props and other things they&#8217;ve used, often with example photos so you can see how wonderful the props can look.<\/p>\n<p>I would recommend joining this group as you never know what might pop up.<\/p>\n<h5>Juno Boutique<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/junoboutiquenz.com\/\">Juno Boutique<\/a> do amazing maternity dresses.\u00a0 Wow, wow, wow!\u00a0 They floor me every time.\u00a0 Amy at Juno Boutique has a great little business going.\u00a0 These dresses don&#8217;t have to be used for maternity &#8211; some do very well as dresses for other studio and outdoor photographic work.\u00a0 I particularly love this green dress which I borrowed from a friend recently and ended up buying my own one as it is so versatile.\u00a0 I&#8217;m going to use this one a LOT!\u00a0 Check out this photo of beautiful Hazel wearing the dress.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3128\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.belindalansleyphotography.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/DSCF9870-Edit-web.jpg?resize=1080%2C1620\" alt=\"maternity photographer photography christchurch studio backdrop hand painted green dress pregnancy pregnant blonde beautiful\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1620\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>Your Own Wardrobe<\/h5>\n<p>Where else can you find the BEST ever photography props but your own wardrobe!\u00a0 I found this dress that I wore in the early 2000s and it was still beautiful and relevant.\u00a0 It looked perfect on my beautiful dancer and I didn&#8217;t mind that it was going into the water as it was old and I wasn&#8217;t going to wear it again.\u00a0 I even split it up the sides so that she could do dance jumps.\u00a0 Isn&#8217;t it wonderful, and it cost me nothing!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3095\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.belindalansleyphotography.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/BLP-190514-5968-absolute-final-panorama.jpg?resize=1080%2C1620\" alt=\"dance photography christchurch water sunset beautiful dancer groynes autumn\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1620\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>Mayfield Antique shop<\/h5>\n<p>This is such a treasure of a shop.\u00a0 It is called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myantiqueshops.co.nz\/overflow_retro.html\">Overflow Retro Collectables<\/a> but everyone just calls it the Mayfield Antique shop.
