Mother's Day Digital Backdrops

What is in this collection

Studio sets include a blush velvet wingback armchair between stone urns of peonies, a lilac loveseat under oversized ivory satin bows, giant crepe paper flowers with peach balloons, lace-draped antique window frames on white brick, and a blush rose and peony flower wall in a bright conservatory. Lifestyle rooms include breakfast in bed with linen and peonies, open French doors onto a spring garden, a florist's workbench with buckets of blooms and a pink salt wall spa lounge. Outdoors there is a lace tea table under a rose arbour, a flower market cart by a pale blue wall, and bicycles with flower baskets by climbing roses and by a honey-stone cottage. Spring scenes shared with Easter, such as a conservatory brunch table and a greenhouse potting bench with daffodils, suit early dates, and an overhead ring of fresh flowers is made for newborn composites.

Mother's Day mini sessions and photo booths

Mother's Day falls on the second Sunday in May in the US, Canada and Australia, while Mothering Sunday in the UK and Ireland comes in March or early April, three weeks before Easter. That is why this collection mixes late-spring roses and peonies with daffodils and tulips. For mini sessions, the peony armchair and the lilac loveseat give a seated pose for mum with children around her, and the bicycles and flower cart suit quick outdoor-style portraits. For a booth at a brunch or garden party, use the paper flowers with peach balloons or the flower wall, which have open floors. Photographers who need more Mother's Day photography backgrounds will find related scenes in spring and maternity.

Tips for using these scenes

• Plan for mother and child. Most scenes are sized for one to three, which suits a mum with one or two children. For the whole family, use breakfast in bed, the garden tea table or the conservatory brunch table, which take four to six with room to sit.
• Keep skin tones gentle. The studio sets have neutral light, and most garden scenes have warm sun from the right. Soft, slightly warm light on your subjects from the same side keeps skin tones gentle and in step with the pastel palette.
• Use portrait for cards. Portrait files suit printed cards and phone screens, square suits social posts. No scene has text, so add Happy Mother's Day or a name in your template.
