Stanley's Photo Shoot

With my new photo gear: (Backdrop stand w/ seamless paper); and some photo props I have been collecting: (blankets, vintage scale, and baskets), it was time to take some photos of my model Stanley.  Some people have kids they practice on, I have stuffed monkeys.

Stanley was very accommodating and smiled the whole time.  I wouldn't have minded getting some sleepy or eyes closed shots, but he insisted on grinning the entire time.

Here are some of the shots I took.  I think they turned out quite nice.

Weighing in at 3 oz, it's Stanley!

  1. LOL, oh my Stanley is very photogenic. I have a sock monkey too except mine has a beanie and we call him Kurt (as its made by Schilling toys). Stanley is handsome. I especially like his button eyes.

    My personal favorite is the one in the basket.

  9. Great pics! :) A friend of mine gave me a sock monkey she made years ago and its now in my son's room on his stuffed animal shelf. He loves it, and I love it - so much that I've wondered if I should try making one myself.

  11. Love the vintage scale. My favorite shot of sweet Stanley is the one with his head propped up with his hand. He is such a crack up!!
