Creative Portrait Backdrops

Winter is usually a time of browns, greys, and other very neutral tones. At first, it can seem difficult to find unique and vibrant backdrops for portraits - senior or family. This is where getting creative can be fun! Even locations that are surrounded by "unsightly" cars, buildings, or other domestic accoutremont can be a wonderful frame for your portrait. Recently, we brought a lovely senior down to the river for a portrait session and used the winter ice as a natural frame for her face. This nature-lover wanted plenty of natural elements in her portrait, and we were happy to oblige. (As you may know, we are something of outdoorspeople ourselves!) Then, we followed her to a family friend's property, where they had a beautiful baby-blue barn in their back yard. Perfect! The antiquated paint and unique texture were gorgeous and really brought out the colors of our senior's hair and delicate blue eyes. And we never let the RV in the corner get in the shot.
