What is in this collection

Indoors there is a cosy window seat with knit throws, a rustic barn with open doors, a glasshouse of chrysanthemums and harvest living rooms with a log fire or a plaid sofa. Studio sets include a cream studio with terracotta roses, a boho dried flower hoop, a moody burgundy set with a velvet armchair and a rust, mustard and sage balloon garland. For little ones there are newborn sets with knits and autumn leaves, a woodland moss arch and a little pumpkin hay cart.

Fall photography backgrounds for mini sessions

Peak colour lasts a couple of weeks and rain can cancel a shoot. These fall photography backgrounds let you photograph clients in the studio and offer a maple park, an orchard or a lakeside dock afterwards. The studio sets, such as the cream studio with terracotta roses and the boho hoop, suit quick back-to-back minis because the light stays the same from one family to the next. For events, the balloon garland, the barn interior and the hay bales make friendly fall photo booth backgrounds. Looking for a single holiday? See Thanksgiving, Halloween or Oktoberfest, and for babies the newborn collection.

Tips for using these scenes

• Match the low autumn sun. Most outdoor scenes have warm, late light from one side. Check the light direction on each scene page and light your subject from that side. The aspen path, ivy wall and glasshouse have soft, even light instead.
• Save the hay bales for big families. The hay bale seating, staircase, feast tables and brownstone stoop fit seven or more people; the porch, barn, pumpkin patch and fireplace room fit four to six. Paths, swings and benches are best for one to three.
• Use portrait for paths and trees. The aspen path, maple bench and oak swing are tall scenes, so the portrait file keeps the canopy above your subject. Use landscape for families and square for social posts.
