Congratulations to Andrea Chan, our Photographer of the Week! 

Here at Backdrop Express, we strive to continue to build and diversify our product offering every month according to photography trends and through research finding out what YOU want to see! From the efforts of our amazing design and product team, we’ve built our photography studio equipment to one of the largest. While we may be a little biased and love ALL of our backdrop items, here are our top 10 favorite new photo backdrops from 2015!

The countdown clock is fast approaching the last tick of another year. Many people are contemplating resolutions and eagerly waiting for their annual New Year’s Eve party. While we cannot help you lose a few pounds, give up a bad habit or chisel out more time with the kids, if you are resolved to capturing the final moments of 2015 with fantastic New Year’s Eve pictures for your album, we do have a few tips for you to move you closer to your goal!

Christmas is just around the corner! With many new scenic and patterned Christmas backdrops available from Backdrop Express, there are no limits to how you can uniquely style your annual holiday portraits. From cozy fireplaces to snowy hills, set up a festive scene inside your photo studio while staying warm!

Below are some of our customer-submitted holiday portraits on their very own Christmas backdrop!

It may be tough to admit it, but price is a key consideration for most photographers when buying their photography equipment. No matter what the level of experience, cost matters, and higher photography equipment costs mean less profits. We’d all love to be able to buy the best of everything, but having a budget is a reality for most photographers, from camera equipment to studio gear. In this article, we’ll explore how to stick to a budget and still get great results when purchasing photography backgrounds. When it comes to photo backgrounds, there’s a wide range of choices, products, prices and options. You can find everything from economy and value-oriented backdrops in small sizes to large, handmade specialty backdrops. Backdrop Express‘ current selection of photography backdrops caters to all budgets and levels of expertise. Being able to recognize the difference in backdrop types can help you to choose the best products for your current needs. As you gain experience and experiment with new styles, you’ll determine the best materials, colors and designs that best fit your niche.

There’s no doubt that your pet is a part of the family. The American Pet Products Association confirms that about 62% of all U.S. households have pets. When the holidays come around each season, it’s only natural for pet owners to want to their furry friends included in the holiday photos. Whether they take the photos themselves or have them done professionally, pet owners love capturing endearing  photos of their pets in holiday decor and enjoying the memories for years to come. Pet photography can be a thriving part of any photography business, and a main business for many photographers.

Since cheesecloth wraps for newborn photography are so popular (and we wanted an excuse to look through LOTS of newborn photos), we’ve compiled some of our favorite cheesecloth wrapped babies here for your viewing pleasure! A cheesecloth is the perfect baby photography prop to match with a hat, headband, basket or blanket to create a beautiful portrait. We hope you gain some inspiration for your next newborn photo shoot below!
