LHCE - Home Studio 2025

In early October, I shot my sister and brother in-law’s family holiday photos. A minimal home studio set-up was determined to be the best choice to accommodate an infant and child, while matching the beige palette in an intimate but casual setting. Photos were taken with the Canon 6D + EF 24-70mm F2.8.

I created a home studio in our dining room with a minimal set-up using ‘Savage Seamless’ backdrop paper in color ‘Bone’. This matched the client’s beige color scheme. Natural sunlight through a large east facing window was used as primary lighting to the left with a floor lamp used as fill light.

After the photoshoot, I created 4x6 holiday cards using Canva, recreating a design the client found online. The card was printed with a matte finish and curved edges. The front design uses muted greens, browns, and autumn foliage, while the back design uses a darker green for a late December holiday feel.
