jeleah_millington Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 <p>Hi ! My name is Jeleah<br>So , I promised to take pictures of someones newborn 6 months (well my mom signed me up to do it) I previously had ordered a beanbag and a stand from when I had a prior baby photography for a relative but got cancel. Since it got cancel I stop stressing about the stresses of getting the backdrop and props , now I have 6 month twins I have to photograph and in search of some nice backdrops , props , basket to make this shoot as professional as ever. Any one have any ideas on where I should buy these stuff. I'm not trying to dig my pockets too deep in this. But I would like a photos that resemble these props and backdrops. I was wondering if I could just use like comforters or blankets in the house. PLEASE HELP ! Really appreciate it and I know since they're 6 months the posing is going to be different but I would like some pretty backdrop colors , a nice fur and basket. Any tips , recommendations are GREATLY appreciated ! Thanks in advance. Also how big of a backdrop would I need ? My stand is 3.5 feet wide by 3 feet tall and I saw places selling backdrops by yard. </p><p>http://abigailjoycephotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/abigail-joyce-photography-2DSC_9298-chicago-newborn-photographer.jpg<br>http://addtoheart.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/suquamish-newborn-photography-960x622.jpg<br>http://www.alienskin.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/anyafoto_nj-newborn-photographer_005.jpg</p><p>http://www.studiobambino.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/01-361-post/Newborn-Photography-Cholsey-Baby-Charlotte-1024x683-393x262.jpg</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzDavid Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 <p>Those links you provided all show newborns. For six-month-olds, you might look to Pinterest.com for some inspiration. There are many postings with ideas about how to pose the babies, where to photograph them, props to use, etc ... If your budget is tight, I would first try to find available props and/or backdrops in the home where the babies live. The mother, for example, might have a quilt from her dear grandmother that would add an emotional impact to the photos. As you will see on Pinterest or other sites, you don't always need backdrops and props. Scout out places nearby. Consider shooting the babies in nature somewhere ... park, playground, back yard, etc ... Good luck!</p> David H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_bergmann Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 <p>I would suggest maybe keeping the background / surrounding environment relatively plain and simple - perhaps just a white backdrop, or as David suggests, shooting in nature is always nice, somewhere very green :)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
