I came up with the idea for the backdrop based on a photo Katie sent me of the outfit Bridget would be wearing. I made tissue paper poms and a scalloped garland using paint chips. Here is the photo I used as my inspiration.
I became good friends with Bridget's mom, Katie, when we worked together as cake decorators. I miss seeing her at work, so I'm always up for an opportunity to get together :). I offered to take Bridget's first birthday photos as a gift, and to gain experience with doing indoor shoots (I'd much rather be outdoors any day!). So I brought over my lighting equipment, props and backdrop and set it up in her dining room. I came up with the idea for the backdrop based on a photo Katie sent me of the outfit Bridget would be wearing. I made tissue paper poms and a scalloped garland using paint chips. Here is the photo I used as my inspiration. I think the setup turned out pretty cute! Happy 1st Birthday Bridget! My daughter came with me and spent a lot of time walking back and forth between Bridget and I. She is 4 months and 4 days older than Bridget, and hopefully they will be good friends one day too! She finally decided she needed to be in some photos too, so I snapped a few of them interacting. I love the first one where Bridget looks both curious and annoyed at the fact that Lyla is interrupting her shoot :) "Finally finished, happy birthday to me! Woo!" |
