my job as a prop stylist (come on set with me to style a photoshoot)

As you know, or maybe you don't, I am a freelance prop stylist. Brands hire me to style photoshoots and sets for their products, furniture pieces, homes, etc. I am SO lucky to LOVE both of my jobs!! You see my life on KZbin, now come see my life on set.. as a prop stylist :-)

I love when KZbinrs have main jobs outside of this platform…makes the content so much more interesting and informative!

[@wasselpa]

KZbin can be such an isolating career, I love working on set and doing both!

[@clarafernandes4590]

Me too!

[@Rossella235]

much more credible too!

[@bijoubijou7500]

Paige - Thank you. PLEASE more prop styling videos! I get so much inspiration for my personal space by watching your process. Thank you for taking us along.

[@catherinenye4194]

There are so many cool jobs out there I wish I had known about when I was younger

[@karman8229]

It’s never to late

[@MizJilly]

I know two young people who are prop/food stylists. I was like, what? So this is so interesting to watch and find out what they do.

[@christinegivens9048]

Not too late! Do it.

[@felsteadgardens]

^this

[@catherinenye4194]

@@christinegivens9048 I mean, I like my job now-- I'm a hairstylist. I get paid to be creative and gossip all day. The early grind of a career is not for the faint of heart. But if prop styling was big passion, no doubt worth it to switch!

[@allisonbirkle6697]

Def would love to see more videos like this!!

[@christinegivens9048]

Me too!! Commenting as much as I can to get more of this. 🎉❤

[@erinluijkx6788]

ME TOOOOOO!!!!!!

[@denisa9497]

me too!!

[@hereforit2347]

It’s really interesting seeing the difference between styling a space for living and styling for photos. I learned something. Like, you can do things (or not) for a photo that in real life would be impractical. You have so much creative leeway. Yet, the photos look like you could walk right in and join the party. So inviting! Beautiful job! ❤

[@masonvp1407]

Oh my gosh this looks amazing, I have to say you are a master of your craft, “props” to you👏

[@wasselpa]

thank you!!

[@kaino6984]

Yes! We need more of these. I’m really interested in prop styling and set design, and there are barely any good videos about it online, and yours are by far the best!!

[@Callie456]

Wow it's so interesting to see what a prop stylist ACTUALLY does. When you described it before, I thought you were just responsible for putting things here and there, on top of the table, counters etc. But based on this vid, you actually do a lot more! You decide the layout of the furniture, and pretty much everything!

[@peppermedley8271]

Many years ago I was a military wife and we had very little money, so I would buy a couple of sweet potatoes and grow the vines in hurricane style glasses. It was a very inexpensive way to have greenery in our humble military life home. I still think they are cute! Love your outdoor dining table styling!!

[@hereforit2347]

@08:48: When you said, “I’m changing my mind, let’s put the couch in front of the door.” I said, ‘Noooooo.’ but when you moved it I realized it was *absolutely* the right thing to do. 👍🏾 That patio came out sooooo nice! ❤

[@carynsire3578]

I thought the same thing! I think it is because our first reflex is to think about the practicality... But it is a photo shoot, nobody will come through those doors and this set up will be taken apart right after!

[@pumpkinnutmeg279]

I was baffled as to how it would work, but I was pleasantly surprised! It looked so much better

[@Szauerdough]

As someone who’s currently working on building my prop styling portfolio, I love this content! I always come to your account for inspiration & would love to see more behind the scenes because there isn’t much of that content out there. The sets you created are beautiful, i love the mix match and all the colors and textures you used, you added so much life to the more simple/ modern furniture. I look forward to seeing more of this kind of content!!

[@carolyn_bo_barolyn]

11:25 I love this setup! I’m so interested to hear what other people would do. It’s clear you have a much more elevated style (especially more so than all of the current squiggle and checkerboard trends), but I’d love to know more about what sets you apart! Your videos are my favorite on KZbin, pls keep making content! Also, if you ever had a tutorial video for how artists and makers can prop style and photograph their work to sell, I’d be so stoked to learn 💚

[@johnlosangeles]

Great job, you really elevated the brand's furniture with proper styling and it was nice for you to get outside and show us your hands-on work process.

[@Angieski0511]

Ugh my dream job! Wish I was younger to do it all over. Never followed my passion/dream and now in my 50’s regretting it. So happy for you Paige to doing what you love.

[@maryannhartzell2958]

Thank you for taking us along. I wish I was still a teacher in high school. This would’ve been a great learning experience about different careers. Thank you again.

[@MAYK1NG]

So chill compared to commercials. Wish I had done print

[@pumpkinnutmeg279]

Wow- this is easily one of my favorite videos you’ve ever done. It was just so interesting/fun to watch it come together. I honestly thought that the white/black outdoor set from the first shoot was too sterile, and I had no clue how you were going to make it work, but you did! Also, I loved the red blanket across the lounge chair. Please do more of these vids if other clients let you. It was enjoyable to see some of your friends on set as well!

[@katiedoornek7468]

I love this! There’s not enough information out there about being a prop stylist. I would absolutely watch more of these ❤

[@felsteadgardens]

yes I love this, please do more prop styling! more tablescapes for indoor and outdoor parties, fireplace mantels, living rooms, gardens, you name it!!

[@ElectricalASMR]

Would definitely love to see more of these. You have such a cool job!

[@interiordesignpals]

Damn! You elevated the shit out of that super trendy fast furniture

[@hoppingwren]

I love this Paige! Take us to work any time please - I will always watch! Also I'm sure it's hard to explain your decisions at the time - working and filming! But you could even do one where you do a voiceover about your choices and why (also might take a moment for ppl to catch on with how fun prop styling is to watch so keep making them! I know you're going to blow up)

[@martinapaturzo1722]

a tea spoon of vermouth works really good for matching liquids in yellow, orange and brown clear tones ;)

[@jpfly66]

I never knew you styled for Joybird but their ads always jump out at me. I always stop to study their styling . I would def love to see more of these!

[@milliesmith5972]

this is so interesting to see, i’m in the UK and finding it really hard to find any sort of job like this even though i know they must exist! all the ones here seem to be fashion based. would love you to do more videos like this, and how you go about finding jobs x

[@dcoughla681]

Stick a candle in a plant. Great idea. Loved what you did. The great thing about neutral furniture is that it can be changed so easily with pillows & other accessories. You didn’t overdo it either. Well done.

[@fian1286]

The video we never knew we needed 🙌

[@katierowboat]

This is so interesting!! Thanks for taking us to work. I am totally doing that potato thing

[@priscalynne8804]

I have been waiting for another one of these for a long time. I’d love to see more and learn your journey to becoming a prop stylist. I enjoy your other content too.

[@joannechapman8455]

Love watching the prop styling process…more to it that one might think! Would love to hear how you chose that as a profession and since you are free lance, how did you get started and get your business set up.

[@korenbrigham]

This was so satisfying to watch. I cannot wait to host my next back-garden dinner party.

[@AbigailsArtfulAbode]

I really enjoyed it and would love to see more. When I owned a vacation rental management company I did everything, bought furnishings, soft goods, booked photographers then I would go during the shoot and style each room. I really enjoyed that part of the business.

[@courtneycole235]

Fantastic! Love the table top color and mixing. Have done a little of this in my distant past, and the prep and the clean up are such a big part. You look very organized bc you made it look easy on set.

[@jmbwithcats]

As someone who has been fascinated by decor in film and TV all of my life, I really enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing! Definitely, film in Florida if they'll let you.

[@Julia-wm1kq]

This gives me the exact feeling that decorating a house in sims does

[@Ericthegreat1483]

This was so fascinating and fully inspired by that dining set up, just need to find me a garden. More of these please, the method and explanations are helpful

[@luciashine1129]

Aww. I used to love going to Mickey Hargitay's when i lived in Los Angeles forever ago. Fun fact - He is Jayne Mansfield's Son. Super nice guy. Always beautiful plants there. Love this video. Thank you for the behind the scenes peek at your life as a stylist. Fun and fascinating. :)

[@gretchendemasi768]

Yes do more prop styling videos! I love to learn what it is like. Can you show us some shots of the final look?

[@londonhasfallen7786]

This is an inspiration! After moving to an urban setting from farmland Southern IL, I find that I am able to see beyond service jobs, teaching, and nursing. My first friend I met does costume design for a local drag bar and my other friend works at an indie jewelry startup. I am so proud and feel the most creative in a while. This is a definite passion I am finding! Thank you!!

[@ione97]

I LOVE the idea of having your table centerpiece/floral arrangement be a propagated potato

[@zump]

Possibly my favorite video to date. I love that we got to see a slice of your day job. It seems like everyone you work with is vibes. ❤

[@veritystothard1664]

What a cool job! I would love a video on how you got started and built up your freelancing career. I never even knew prop stylist was a thing until I started watching your videos 💕

[@SignalHillHiker]

Yay! Excited to see this.

[@shellywinkler437]

Yes! More of your shoots ❤ you do a great job and I love that it’s not trending!!!!

[@rachelmelissa]

This was so great to watch. Loved how you styled away from the modern elements of the furniture. Everything looked amazing. I’m also a stylist and really enjoy watching other prop stylists methods and seeing everything come together.

[@paigepooler9036]

This was super fun! More please! * I loved all your styling choices…stripes, ceramics, weirdo plants! 💗

[@ronstader7976]

Oh Paige that was brilliant ! You’re good at what you do as you make it look effortless. Your style is different from the norm which I love.

[@lizabethswitzer9113]

This was so fun to watch Paige! Yes, please let us see you style more photoshoots. It is both entertaining and informative to see you on your freelance jobs.

[@northwoodfalls1403]

Very fun. Interesting to see behind the scenes. Love the propagating taters and the candlesticks in the potted plants. What great ideas. ❤

[@christinae.burlison936]

Yes keep doing more prop videos.

[@Patrck.]

Watching you create has inspired me to do more with my home. Thank you for all the wonderful content!

[@guardo931]

So cool to see this side of decor companies! You do such a beautiful job!!

[@sophie-sm9qr]

finally !!! i’ve been waiting for a video like this 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@mateusp55]

this video was amazing, Paige! Would love to see more content like this from you!

[@bronwynstemp2872]

Loved it! You've inspired me to try out set design assisting, I already am a fashion stylist assistant but I love this craft too so I thank you for sparking this idea for me

[@jennifergraham3752]

I love this styling so much! I would love to see more videos like this.

[@jessi929]

so inspiring! prop styling is such a powerful tool and i really appreciate you sharing your method with us just a little bit. more, always more!

[@brittneysovern7356]

You are beyond talented! Loved watching the process of this. Amazing how you can transform these spaces/vignettes. You make it seem easy but you truly have an eye!

[@mistorflea4783]

Love seeing what you do for a living! More please!

[@PalaszewskiFamily]

I miss Los Angeles! Your wonderful video transported me. Even the background noise is lovely.

[@thecaelireese]

I could watch an entire series of this!!

[@bobbigaukel3860]

That was super fun to watch and so inspiring! It makes so much sense that this is your day job :)

[@mmellyful]

You’re really good at prop styling, and yes, this was interesting to watch and gain inspiration from! Love the contrasting glassware, striped pillows and unique planters…I want to sprout a potato now!

[@styleago-go3028]

I love these videos. It's the job I wanted when I was younger but had to give up on that so watching it makes me happy and realize that I really could have done it!

[@angeloferrer398]

Pure Awesomeness! Thanks for the behind the seen, so appreciated!

[@peachesharrison5979]

Yes Paige! Love seeing you in action

[@fleurdelis2976]

That was so fun going along with you! More prop styling videos, please!

[@mollieredman129]

You make it look so easy. I know there must be a lot of background research and planning going into it. I would love to keep learning more about all the ins and outs of prop styling!

[@allisonchristinegarbini5288]

Yes, please film more of these! Love them! So fun to see the process.

[@rylincacciatore2391]

This was so fun and interesting to watch! More of this please

[@olivialeavitt8865]

more videos like this please!!!! I loved seeing what a normal work day looks like for you!

[@leonore3349]

I don't know what to think of the plant candles.

[@tacoluverr]

This was the best!!!! Obsessed with your work as usual. Loved watching and will 100% tune into a 2nd

[@stetrick612]

This was fun! Hopefully you can take us on more of these shoots.

[@hopethisnameisavlble]

Love these videos! Would love to see the process from you get a job, how you plan/moodboard etc, to the finished product.

[@jenniferclyde8911]

Well I vote more of these please. You are so good at your job and it seems like the best job ever! I have to say I wish I knew this even was a job when I was younger so it’s awesome that you’re showing a profession we don’t often see (in action, obviously we all see the results all the time!)

[@hannahblackk]

Always was curious about what a day in the life of a prop stylist entailed. Loved watching and would enjoy seeing more videos like this!

[@michelleg1461]

Loved it. Huge fan of your style.

[@elliejeanroyden]

PLEASE do more of these I loved it!

[@0111dc]

Hi Paige, that is so interesting to see how it works behind the scènes. What a nice job you have. And I love the teamwork and your styling. It's different and interesting. Thanks for sharing dear.

[@TheBridgethb]

This was so fun to watch!! Thank you for sharing 😊 Love your work 💗

[@audreyarsenault]

This was soooo cool to see!! Yes I would love another prop styling video :D

[@mimmz3696]

This was so much fun for me. I have been to actual photo shoots which are long and tedious but this is the fun part!!!

[@marilynolson8599]

Wow, I really enjoyed learning about your career,I follow you weekly never being disappointed beautiful weather too.

[@raqueladiva]

I love this kind of video. There are tips to learn! Thanks, Page!

[@elenatea]

so lovely to see bella! I've been wondering what she's been up to, she has such an amazing eye for things as well so it makes sense shes working in this field! love

[@galeanoj]

Thank you for bringing us along behind the scenes!! Would definitely enjoy more of these types of videos ❤

[@jacqueline2297]

Yes please to more, that was fascinating!

[@gurkov4e]

That might be the most fun job ever!

[@alinamolnar3585]

Yesss more prop styling, I’m gettin so much inspo from this

[@lindaroy4061]

Love this! I’d definitely love to see more! Talk about a dream job! Not saying it’s easy but the reward of seeing the end result must be such a high!!❤

[@phillipgood2089]

Yes please - more of these!

[@michaelabariesheff3389]

Thoroughly enjoyed this. It's also cool to see your editing style develop with each video you create. Loving what you're doing!

[@milabolognini6305]

yay! more prop styling!

[@pavana2810]

Yes bring us along!

[@theresagarza1578]

Until I started watching your videos, I hadn’t heard of prop stylist. It’s cool to see the particulars of your job. I dig that the resulting vignettes are casual, a “friends hanging out” vibe. Would love a video with you explaining your choices & how you create what the client needs for the shoot.

[@nellel2554]

More please! Love listening to your decision making and your compositions turn out beautifully! Thanks for sharing!

[@ravenreese]

This was soooooo good! I’d love to see more!

[@sandraweiler5971]

Loved your prop styling video Paige… Thanks for sharing what you do. 🌸

[@vanessalouzon]

That last table shot is gorgeous!!
