I remember when I first started photography. Lots of investments to make! Once your business starts growing, buying equipment is not that hard. The business pays for itself. But when you are starting, there is a limited budget you need to work with. Sometimes, to make cute studio pictures you need lots of cute props. And when first starting, most of people cannot invest in expensive ones! (although they are worth it, and great quality, and eventually a great investment when your business grows!).
So I wanted to show an example on affordable cute setting! (I know it could be better, but traveling makes it hard to set up cute settings! :) )
Fabric for the backdrop: $4
Suitcase: borrowed, although I've seen them at Hobby Lobby for $30 or more, but Hobby Lobby has great coupons you can use!
Bottom ruffle blanket from Ikea: $20 (I found it on sale for $16 and I've used it a lot even as a backdrop!)
Flower: $3 from Joann's
Garland: I made it with scrapbooking paper so it was probably around $2.
I hope this helped if you are starting to do photography! I do recommend professional backdrops if you can. You don't have to iron them, they will have no wrinkles, and they are wider! But to start, you CAN do cute indoor sessions with a lower budget :) Just look around your house and see what you have. Blankets, head pieces, scrapbooking paper, fabric... I've had to use things I never thought I would use for pictures, but as I said before, traveling there is limited space for your props! So I don't bring a lot with me.
Have a blessed day!
