Being a baby photographer, I routinely shoot milestone sessions. These sessions are typically scheduled at the 3-6-9-12 month mark or 4-8-12 month mark. When Intuition Backgrounds told me they were releasing a line of Milestone Blankets, I knew I had to get my hands on them. I mean, how fun to TRULY have a Grow-With-Me backdrop to document a precious baby’s milestones throughout his or her first year (even higher depending on these designs).
Because I’m a “list” kind of gal – I’m going to list what I really love about the new Milestone Blankets from Intuition Backgrounds:
- Material: The ones I use in my studio are FABRIC. Because I work in a fairly small space in terms of storage (approx. 400ft) fabric is a huge convenience for me. I can fold or roll the backdrops up and tuck them away somewhere. If there is spit up (which let’s be real – is a huge possibility) they’re easy to spot clean or wash.
- Size: These backdrops are 60 inches wide and 50 inches long, so they are large enough to use as floor drops or on the wall as a backdrop. If a baby is particular about how they want to be posed and your go-to floor routine isn’t working out, it’s easy to hang the blanket from your wall or backdrop stand to change it up.
- Style: Who wants a backdrop designed by the talented Heidi Hope? *RAISES HAND* All of the backdrops for the Milestone Blanket Line are designs by Heidi. Each backdrop is absolutely beautiful. They are all a bit whimsy, which fits my style. Naturally, I adore every single design.
As we all know, babies can be very fickle and particular about how they want to sit, land, lay etc. Often times once they learn to roll over they do NOT want to stay put on their back. They’re little busy bodies, so what’s the best way to shoot these to get maximum use throughout their milestones?
