Spring Digital Backdrops

What is in this collection

Blossom scenes include a cherry tree in full bloom on a park lawn, an apple orchard in blossom with a ladder and crates, a magnolia walkway on a campus, a magnolia branch arch in an ivory studio and a cloud of hanging blossom over two white chairs. Out in the fields there are tulip rows with a white bench, a daffodil hillside with a split-rail fence and a bluebell wood with a mossy log. Garden and cottage scenes include French doors open onto a spring garden, a tea table under a rose arbour, a flower market cart, a florist's workshop, a peony bicycle by a cottage wall, a greenhouse potting bench and a thatched Irish cottage. Studio sets include a pastel paper flower wall, a wisteria rope swing, a peacock chair under blush peonies and pastel balloon garlands. Easter, Holi and baby shower scenes are here too.

Spring photography backgrounds for minis and holidays

Blossom lasts a week or two and spring weather is hard to plan around, so these spring photography backgrounds let you offer a cherry tree or a tulip field on any day. Not every scene has Easter eggs: the cherry tree, the orchard, the tulip field, the French doors, the flower cart and the rose arbour work for any spring session. The season also brings its own holidays, with dedicated collections for Easter, Mother's Day, Holi and St. Patrick's Day. For spring photo booth backgrounds at showers and parties, the paper flower wall and the balloon walls have bright, even light. For flat floral textures for templates, see floral backgrounds.

Tips for using these scenes

• Use a big, soft light. Many spring scenes have soft, even or overcast light, such as the cherry tree, the carrot beds and the white studio sets. Use a large soft key and avoid hard shadows. The tulip field, orchard and golden hour scenes are warmer and lit from one side.
• Give children somewhere to sit. The tulip field bench, the peacock chair, the wisteria swing, the blossom chairs and the French doors stool all give children and couples a natural place to sit. Shoot them on a seat of a similar height.
• Use landscape for blossom trees. The cherry tree and the orchard spread wide, so landscape keeps the canopy whole. Use portrait for single portraits by a doorway or cart, and square for social posts and invitations.
