Walck Portraits Blog

My lovely wife asked if she could be a guest writer today.  I've graciously allowed her to share our photo-prop process.  You can follow her blog at http://walckthisway.blogspot.com/. The Hubster wanted to redo some chairs as photo props.  Being the loving, diligent, and crafty wife that I am, I agreed to help :)  So, here are our DIY chair make-overs: Step 1:  Purchase cool, but rickety, old chairs off local yard sale site.
