How to make a simple dark wood photography backdrop – newborn baby sitter photoshoot
In this video I’ll show you how I made my very simple and easy DIY Dark Wood Photography backdrop. I’m planning on using this background during Newborn Photoshoots and Baby/toddler Photoshoots. It’s made from laminate floor boards.
I’m a full-time photographer in the Netherlands and I’m planning on showing you a but more of my life as a photographer. Are you interested in photography? Are you looking for a free-online Photography course? Do you want to see the inside of a Photo Studio? Then please, watch my videos and subscribe to my channel!
I’m planning on sharing videos in which I show you my typical work-week as a photographer. I will give you tips & tricks concerning photography, photo shoots, backdrops, studio props, camera settings (iso, aperture, shutter speed, white balance), photoshoot outfits, photoshoot make-up etc.
Bedankt voor het kijken! Ik ben een full-time fotograaf in Nederland en ik wil je graag iets meer laten zien over mijn werk als fotograaf. Wil je meer weten over (digitale) fotografie? Wil je weten hoe een fotostudio er van binnen uitziet? Ben je op zoek naar een gratis online cursus fotografie? Kijk dan mijn videos en abonneer je op mijn kanaal. Ik zal videos maken over camera instellingen (iso, sluitertijd, diafragma, wit-balans), studio achtergronden, fotoshoot outfits, fotoshoot make-up enz.
IMPORTANT
If you are interested in photographing newborn babies yourself I would highly recommend you to first learn about photography in general. Master you camera, photograph in the Manual mode, learn about aperture, iso, shutter speed, white balance, light and composition. Take photos of your friends (adults or very patient older kids) and make sure you don’t have to think about your camera anymore when photographing babies. Learn about editing as well. Please, don’t experiment photographing Newborn babies without training. Attend a workshop by an experienced and professional photographer with an expertise in Newborn Photography. Learn about the anatomy of babies and invest in good quality cameras, lenses and props. Babies are extremely vulnerable and small and their safety and comfort should be your highest priority. Start with simple poses and make sure you know and understand that many ‘pinterest poses’ are composites. Please, don’t try this at home. If you want beautiful photos of your own Newborn Baby, I highly recommend you to hire a professional and experienced photographer who is trained and specialised in Newborn Photography.

Love the way this turned out!! Thanks for sharing!! 💙Andrea
I love this so much! What setting do you have your studio light at? Could you maybe do a tutorial on light settings for babies and family shots? Your camera settings are In the video but not the light settings 🥰 it would be greatly appreciated ! 🥰❤
How to kill reflection
Thanks for sharing. So brilliant. Your channel is going to be my new inspiration for my business 🤗
You are so cute, both of you :). What is name that item you bought on IKEA?
Great video! Do you remember the name of the flooring that you used?
💕Thank you for that ♥️ you are amazing
Thankyouvery much! grettings from Chile!!
There is nothing simple about this!
Simple would be a roll of vinyl flooring that looks like wood. Cheap, pre-made, easy to unroll, and the exact same look.
I love your work!
Hi fenna I made this background and it turned out amazing! thank you! I am now making an off white distressed background with the brown stain below showing through. Thanks for all of the great tutorials I am a big fan and watch your videos almost daily!
Hi Fenna. Thank you for this video. I really have learned a lot from you. Can you please provide link to the certain rod you used to secure the backdrop (double curtain rod). Thank you.
Just subscribed to your channel I have tried to watch other channels and I must say I’m beyond excited I came across yours. I love that you share in detail your camera settings and also props and ideas. I just started dabbing into photography and your channels have inspired me and taught me so much! Thank you!! Please keep videoing🤗
Hi Fenna, I really like the crib you have and I would like to achieve the same. Would it be possible for you to give me the size of the bed and the thickness of wood used stp?
Hi Fenna, would you mind sharing the name of the brand of laminate you used and the color? Could you also share where you go the wooden basin from?
Hi Fenna. I am really glad I stubbled on your videos. I am in the processes of making a wooden backdrop like yours. Gluing the two end pieces to the back is a good idea! I also loved the wooden prop your boy was sitting in. Could you do a video on where you got some of your wooden bowls and baskets??
What brand and model is the softbox in this video?
So happy to have found this channel. I am a photographer myself and starting business very soon. I wanted to do something like what you did in this video but had no idea how to do. Thanks a lot for sharing this. It's so helpful and I am definitely gonna steal some ideas from you. 💖
I’m so glad to find your channel, thank you so much for your sharing!!

great work.
great video thank you 😉 what is the name of the wall support thing you bought in Ikea?
what size are you backdrop
Hi Fenna, I am so glad to have found your videos! I am trying my hand at photography and I would love for you to do a video on what defines a good quality backdrop.. also, how do you get your backdrops to look like there is the separation between the floor panels and the backdrop (like the crown moulding piece). Also.. in one video you have a white chair with brown legs, where did you get that? Thanks so much!
What size softbox are you using?
Superb tutorial
Thank you very much. You are a charm
Where can I get the bowl he's sitting on?
I was like: Huh, is dat de Gamma! Then I noticed you were Dutch, super cool! Me too haha. Nice video 🙂
I absolutely love the floorboards backdrop and your son is adorable 😍
Awesome tutorial. Is the floor and wall the same colour.
Great tips. Thanks from Brazil.
I love all your videos thank you for taking the time to share! I’m an outdoor photographer but bought a few backdrops from InkAndElm on Etsy a few years back and was perfect for my indoor 🙂 gotta love discounts 😉
