Backgrounds

Backgrounds are one of the most important elements in your photography. A boring background can lead to a boring picture. A distracting background will almost always produce a distracting picture. Fun, exciting, and aesthetically please, yet not distracting, backgrounds can be found ANYWHERE. Look around your house and your yard. Anything that has a pop of solid color, or and interesting texture will make a great background. Grass works wonderfully too! Just of fun, I shot these images at my house on Saturday. My 3 year old is in the back of a trailer hooked up to a truck. My 9 month old and his little baby buddy are just sitting against our fence. Once you start to really notice how beautiful peeling paint or scuffed up wood can be, you will start noticing amazing backdrops all around you.
