FAQs

Backdrop size depends on how you shoot and how you want to frame your portraits. Sizes like 10'x8' and 12'x8'are the most popular options and work beautifully for full-body portraits, group shots, and styled milestone sessions. For a more grand look—such as staircase setups or dramatic arches—larger backdrops like 14'x9' or 15'x10' provide added scale and impact. If you prefer built-in floor coverage, a10'x15' backdrop sweepoffers a seamless floor-to-wall option.

Royal Fleece is a popular choice for milestone photography because it photographs softly, minimizes glare, and provides a clean, professional look under studio lighting. Dream Fabric offers a slightly more luxurious drape and includes a sewn-in pole pocket on larger sizes, which some photographers prefer for ease of setup. Poly paper is a good option for lightweight, wall-mounted looks.

Not at all. While designed with milestone styling in mind, these backdrops can also be used for family portraits, Mother's Day sessions, fashion editorial looks, branding imagery, and styled set photography where bold, playful, or elegant backgrounds are desired.

Standard milestone backdrops do not include a built-in floor. Many photographers pair them with a matching floor drop, floor mat, or hardboard floor for seamless floor-to-wall looks. Backdrop sweeps with integrated floors are available but not typically necessary unless you’re doing full-body walk-in poses.
