Elegant Family Background

Since my kid's backgrounds and the waiting area just for the little ones' at Freeland Photography were such a big hit, I was asked back to create two elegant family backgrounds. Here is my first background… a neutral tone-on-tone scene that is timeless.

 

      

 

 A oversize custom canvas painting by KG Interiors hangs over the window for light control and can easily be removed if needed.

 

 

 

I love thinking outside the box, using materials in a different ways then originally made for. I applied a twine basket weave carpet to the wall which gave the background lots of texture.

 

I created wainscoting on the bottom portion of the wall out of two old solid wood doors

which was the perfect balance to the basket weave.

I sawed the doors in half and finished them off with some custom trim.

Freeland Photography Children's Waiting Area

After the completion of the children’s backgrounds,

Mr. Freeland wanted to provide a waiting area just for the little ones.

Using child-size furnishings and bright pops of color,

I created a unique space just for kids.

 

 

 

A set of sophisticated child-size club chairs which can double as props.

Paired with a custom green side table and bright yellow basket for storage,

 makes the perfect sitting area for little ones.

 

 

 

 

To match the side table I designed and constructed a one of a kind storage shelf.

I used Mr. Freeland's collection of vintage Kodak file canisters

to bring in a photography element.

 

Not only does the vintage Kodak canister add a unique look,
the children can spin them making it not only functional but interactive

 

Freeland Photography Children's Backgrounds

 

          I was introduced to Photographer Mike Freeland owner of Freeland Photography  through April McCoy friend/photographer at  Freeland. Freeland Photography is well-known for their amazing wedding pictures. Mike Freeland wanted to provide his client's with amazing in-studio pictures as well. He expressed to me that he wanted the same look you get when shooting a old building or barn. Vintage with lots of wear and tear. I designed and constucted all the backgrounds personally and also provided assistance in choosing props.  Visit  http://www.freelandphotography.com/  to see how you can get your photos taken in front of a KG Interiors custom created backgrounds.
