Newborn Digital Backdrops – Introducing Pixels and Drops!

Newborn Digital Backdrops by Pixels and Drops

For the last year, we have been quietly working on a brand new newborn digital backdrops company called Pixels and Drops! The pandemic gave a lot of us photographers a major curve ball. We suddenly found ourselves being labeled a “non essential” business. We had to think outside the box! Babies were still being born and new parents weren’t able to get their newborn photos. We discovered a way to coach our clients to photograph their new babies at home and then had them send the images to us to composite into digital backdrops. So many of our photographers friends closed their studios (we had to downsize) and many lost the ability to create fun and unique newborn backdrops.  These two combined situations helped us to create our new business!

Newborn Portrait Studio to go!

Our studio has been collecting newborn props for 10+ years. We have invested so much money into backgrounds, floors, beds, bowls, and holiday props. Many photographers don’t have the space, time or money to create unique backdrops for each newborn session, but still want to offer them to their clients.  We created the Newborn Digital Backdrop Club to give photographers around the world access to all of our backdrops. Newborn Digital Backdrops by Pixels and Drops.

Simple Sophistication

We are on Instagram
Two years old looks very different than one, and that is exactly why it matters.

By age two, their personality is fully showing up. The expressions, the movement, the little quirks that disappear before you even realize it. These sessions are less about props and more about capturing who they are becoming.  Let us know if you want to book a studio session today 💕
How do you prepare to say goodbye for two years?

This family has six boys, and one was about to leave for Finland on his mission. They scheduled this session a few weeks before he left, knowing how important it was to have everyone together in one place before such a big change.

These are the photos that hold so much weight later on. Not because everything is perfect, but because everyone is there. If you are heading into a season of transition, this is your reminder to pause and document it.
Have you documented this stage yet?

Sitting up sessions are one of my favorites. We started with family, then slowed things down and focused on baby’s expressions and personality. Simple backgrounds, no distractions, just this moment in time.
Have you ever noticed how the most meaningful moments don’t need much at all?
The power was out in the church during this baptism, which made everything feel quieter and more intentional. Just family, faith, and a moment that truly mattered. Sometimes simplicity has a way of stripping things back to what is most important.
Who says Christmas photos have to be serious?

This family showed up in red, brought the energy, and leaned fully into the fun. The funny poses, the laughs, and the personalities are exactly what made this session feel so them. These are the photos you smile at every time you walk by them.
