Backdrop Options

One of the easiest ways to completely transform the look and feel of your photos is by choosing the right backdrop. Whether you’re planning updated family photos, a milestone session, or branding headshots, your backdrop plays a huge role in the overall vibe of your images.

I offer a variety of backdrop colors and sizes to fit different styles, spaces, and session types. I’m breaking it all down here so you can confidently choose what works best for you.

Backdrop Sizes & What They Mean

Choosing the right size is just as important as choosing the color.

Small (53” wide)

Best for 1–2 people

• Ideal for headshots, milestone sessions, and cake smashes

• Great for tighter, more focused images

• Easy for me to bring into homes or smaller spaces

Medium (86” wide)

Best for 1–4 people

• Great for small families or sibling shots

• Gives more room for movement and posing

• A solid middle-ground option

Large (107” wide)

Best for 1–6 people

• Perfect for full family sessions or groups

• Allows for more natural, spread-out posing

• Best option if you want variety in your gallery

🏡 In-Home Sessions vs. Events

• In-Home Sessions: I bring small backdrops. Perfect for headshots, milestones, or cake smashes without needing a ton of space.

• Events & Larger Setups: I can bring any size backdrop, so we can create a setup that fits your group and vision.

💡 How to Choose the Right Backdrop

If you’re stuck deciding, here are a few simple tips:

• Think about your outfits

  Neutrals = safe and timeless

  Bold outfits = pair with simple backdrops

  Simple outfits = you can go more fun with color

• Consider your home decor (if printing photos)

  You’ll love your images more if they match your space

• Think about the mood

  Light + airy → whites, creams, pastels

  Warm + cozy → tan, gold, maroon

  Bold + modern → black, navy, bubblegum

• Group size matters

  If you have more than 2 people, don’t go small unless you want tight, cropped shots

There’s no “wrong” choice; Just what feels most like you. If you’re unsure, I’m always happy to help you decide based on your outfits, session type, and overall vision.

At the end of the day, the backdrop should support your photos, not distract from what matters most: your people, your story, and those genuine moments you’ll want to remember forever.
