I automatically bring Turquoise Sea to any school that does not share with me your favourite backdrop. This backdrop is far & away my favourite - one that your families are sure to love!

The Six Recommended Backdrops

Turqouise Sea

This is my absolute favourite backdrop - I find that all children and clothing combos pop in front of it. Available in child portrait and family sizes.

Chalkboard

A favourite among schools, this is a lovely colour-neutral backdrop that highlights academia.

Global Map

A great choice that lets the kids pop!

Teal Starry Night

A lovely, playful backdrop that pops with colour.

Toast

This grey backdrop is perfect for a polished, clean portrait look. It works well with bright & unique colours, and provides a sophisticated palette. My top choice for CEFA graduation gowns. Available in child & family sizes.

Denim Delight

A solid / bright blue that looks amazing behind young children. This backdrop wrinkles easily - schools who select this backdrop MUST have access to a clothes dryer at the start of our session.

Other Popular Options

Purple Allure

A lovely purple backdrop with a pop of pinks and yellows in the middle.

Velveteen Pink

A soft / bright pink portrait backdrop. A lovely backdrop, but note that it does film quite pink. Due to the propensity of this backdrop to wrinkle, the school MUST have a clothes dryer available prior to the session start.

Brown Wood Planks

A neutral background of brown wood planks.

White Wood Planks

Another neutral background of white wood.

Navy Starry Sky

A lovely & playful starry sky background. Please note that this is a dark background - children with dark hair or dark clothes don't pop in front of it as much as with lighter backdrops.

Cherry Blossoms

A springtime background of pink cherry blossoms.

Hollywood Balloons

A soft, light and sparkly backdrop of balloons and glitter.

Glitter and Bokeh

This backdrop is identical to Hollywood Balloons, minus the balloons.

Moonlit Camp

This backdrop is perfect for any school looking for a fun camping/outdoor-themed drop.

Buffalo Plaid Campground

Another fun, camping-themed drop.

Aviation Area

A sweet, travel-themed room done in shades of white and cream.

The Workshop

Another travel-themed backdrop that uses metals and bold colours.

Schoolhouse

A back-to-school themed backdrop perfect for academia. Please note that this backdrop can appear busy - it's not one of my favourites for the school setting.

Treasure Map

A fun background perfect for ltitle imaginations and creativity.

Pirate Banners

A selection of pirate and themed colour banners that would be perfect for themed photos.

The Farmhouse

A lovely backdrop full of colour and personality that particularly works well for autumn / back-to-school photos!

The Circus

A soft circus-themed backdrop that films well and offers nice personality.

Wisteria Window

A great backdrop for spring photos.

Unicorn Skies

A pink-shaded pastel backdrop that films soft and offers nice colour.

Rainbow Twinkle Sky

One of my most popular backdrops in-studio, this is an amazingly lifelike backdrop that is lovely for portraits.

Purple Flowers

A soft backdrop that can be lovely for spring portraits.

Fishing Pond

Are your students little sailors at heart? This maritime backdrop is lots of fun for the sailors in all of us.

Purple Chariot

This backdrop films more purple than in this image - a lovely fantastical backdrop.

Cherish Flowers

A lovely backdrop full of a bright flower garden.

Lacy Window

This backdrop is perfect for special sessions - springtime, Mother's Day, etc.

Holiday Backdrops

Some of my schools ask KLCP to join them for holiday photos - holiday photos that are giftable to parents, Mother's Day sessions, Christmas family sessions, springtime sessions, etc. Three of my schools even recently asked me to use our school portraits to create Santa photos that they then gifted directly to their families!

As your school photographer, I am pleased to offer full-service offerings that do include any and all outside-the-box holiday needs. Below are some of the great holiday backdrops I have on hand; please see my full gallery at https://kirstenlauferphotography.smugmug.com/Backdrops/n-W3DP3j
