"I have used Wicker By Design Props for over twenty years.  Their props are the finest in the industry."

Jeff Lubin, Mclean, VA http://www.jefflubin.com

"I love the light look of white wicker combined with the clean simple feel of windowlight. The new wicker baby bed from Wicker by design is one of my favorite pieces for babies and young children. It has a beautiful Victorian elegance that works well with boys or girls with or without the canopy."

“Every photographer should have a Beanbag Baby Poser from Wicker By Design. It is a must.”
Hanson Fong, San Francisco, CA  http://www.hansonfong.com/

"Do you want to talk about return on investment? I know as photographer we all like cool props. It goes without saying that Wicker By Design has done that so well. They have a great selection of props for my primary product line, which is children. My students are thrilled with my recommendation to them to contact Susan at Wicker By Design for all their Baby Plan props. Anyone who knows me knows that I am into "the numbers" - yes...the bottom line! Before I get a prop I ask myself when is the price for this prop going to be paid back to me. I expect it to be paid back from the 1st session! That is what happens with all my Wicker By Design products. I can't even begin to tell you how much money these props have made me. Our baby plan clients go nuts over these things! On a side note, I love the photographers that say "oh high key is out of style" etc. That's funny....tell that to my clients who are holding their checkbooks! My advice to photographers is build up your arsenal of these props and you will never regret the investment you made! Thanks Susan for all the hard work and for making me a ton of money!"

“Wicker By Design offers the best, by far, quality furniture for portraiture of children. Three reasons I love Wicker By Design furniture: 1) Function: The furniture is styled for photography. One side of the chairs are open to best show off the child. 2) Durability: The furniture is made to last! I have several pieces that I have used for 10+ years, and they still look great and hold up with daily wear and tear. 3) Selections: So many styles are available and the choice of different finishes make the selections great. I have the opportunity to speak and teach programs throughout the United States and I highly recommend furniture by Wicker By Design to professional photographers. For example, the Baby Sleigh/Bassinet is invaluable to working with very young children and infants. A new product, the slipcovers for the Backstand Chairs and the Christening Bench have been added and I can’t wait to begin using them. Thanks, Susan, for your wonderful furniture and your exceptional customer service!

“Wicker By Design props are staples in our studios. I already had two tea party sets, but when yours came out, I had to have it. Now it is the only one I reach for. And those chairs are great for a one-year-old to stand beside- nice proportions! Another one or your "winners" is your child's decorative railing. It is my favorite prop for a 9-month old baby. All of your creations are so versatile - I love to get the new catalogs and see how others are using them!"

"It is just as important to the photographer as the clients that photographers push themselves to be creative.  Wicker By Design always presents the most well designed and innovative props in the industry.  Their props show clear thinking that the function of photography.  They are especially well designed with children in mind." 
Susan Michal, Jacksonville, FL   http://www.susanmichal.com

"I own everything that Wicker By Design offers.  Their props set you apart from other photographers by giving a classic touch and a feel of first rate quality.  As a consequence, when customers see themselves in these props, the photographer has a better chance of increasing sales by large portraits and other products."
Randy Taylor, Edmond, OK

“I love your products. They are so durable."
Michelle Ashe, Thomson GA

“Susan, the Adult Fainting Couch I purchased at the convention has been a winner. I have sold a portrait almost every time I used it. Some clients are stiff and hard to pose. The Adult Fainting Couch places their body on an ‘S’ curve and their shoulders, when lying on it, makes a great camera angle. This is a must have prop. It makes the females flow.”
Jeanne Richardson, Georgetown, SC

“All of your products hold up well. We have had all of your pieces for a long time."
Danna Price

“I purchased the Adult Divan last year and use it all the time. It has more than paid for itself in a couple of settings."
Sandy Gordon, Breckville, OH

“I just love the look of the Adult Fainting Couch. It’s very strong and I like the classic appearance. I can use for guys and girls."
John Dingo, Batavia OH

“We just ordered a Wicker Baby Poser and a Beanbag Baby Poser a few months ago and just wanted to let you know how happy we have been with both items. We used the Beanbag Poser to photograph a newborn but then took your suggestion and used it to photography older children as well. Just last weekend, we got some very affectionate expressions when using it with three siblings (ages 3, 5 and 7). When we ordered it, I had no idea how versatile it would be. Children really love to snuggle in it and we have gotten some great portraits with it.
MaryJo Prinos, Lancaster, MA

“Susan, our order of the Willow Tea Set and Beanbag Baby Poser arrived yesterday. Even though your web site photo showed quality and beauty, it didn’t show the extent!! We are thrilled. The willow is solid, smooth and sturdy, not to mention charming. We have full confidence in the safety (always a concern for us; we specialize in day-care centers). We have been through many baby posers; yours is by far the most comfortable and versatile and again, the safest. Our search for a solution is over. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Please consider us loyal and regular customers, and keep us on any customer mailing list you may have."
Kathy Mattei, Miramar, FL
