Here is a picture I took of Zack showcasing Boy’s Winter Wear, in front of the black screen door.
Here is another old building with brick, old windows and a white door…again several places to use.
Here is another Boy’s Winter Wear photo taken in front of this building.
Besides looking for old buildings, look for ones that are painted bright or unique colors.
This picture from a recent post about Spring Fashion for Kids was taken in front of the blue building.
This white building has a worn, wood lean-to built on the side. Both the building and the lean-to could be used.
For another Spring Fashions for Kids picture, I had Zack and Vanessa stand on this wooden platform that you can see right in front of (or is it actually behind) the white building on the left side of the picture.
This old, rusty, peeling semi trailer is one of my favorite places to use a backdrop. Isn’t the back of the trailer cool looking? Plus, I love the aqua and yellow side but would have to bring a ladder or platform for someone to stand on!
This small but unique building could be used…especially the weathered, white wood.
Even this shack outside of a baseball diamond would make a good backdrop…especially those doors! I’m going to keep this one in mind so that I can use it in the future!
So, next time you drive around, keep your eyes open for fun backdrops. Remember that is doesn’t have to be a huge background because you will be getting close to the subject anyway! Also, check out the websites of some of your favorite photographers and see what they are using for their backdrops. This can give you some great ideas to keep in mind!

Hi, I'm Tonia from The Gunny Sack! As a wife and mother of three, I enjoy cooking, creating and capturing it all with my camera! Coffee, with a little chocolate now and then, keeps me happy.
Oh, these are such awesome places to take pictures! I need to be on the look out more, especially with the weather warming up. Picture time with my kiddos soon.
Ps–you have adorable kids, I meant to write that in my previous comment.
I love these ideas… that lace dress is beautiful!!! I need to head out to a small town and get some pics!!!
Those are all great places! I’m going to start looking around for some good spots around here.
I’ll come over and we’ll tear that semi apart. You get half and I get half.

Oh my gosh – I want that little baseball shack!! I live in yuppyville lol and now am on a mission to find some cool backdrops like that for photos!! These make me think outside the box though for what’s in my area. Thanks for sharing!
It’s amazing the gorgeous backdrops you can find in older parts of town – definitely a good reason to get out of Yuppie-ville!
GREAT ideas! I love old buildings and especially old barns. They always add so much character to a photo. I love the ones you found! Thanks for sharing these. I am going to drive out to find some in my area too.
