I took photos of Grayson in my studio sitting on a low stool. I tried to include the background at that time, but in typical little boy fashion, he knocked everything over. It was tough enough to simply get a good shot of Grayson with shadow patterns that I liked.
After the shoot, I set up a "still life" of the things he and his mother wished to include in the photo. I used similar lighting and made my reference photos into the background you see below.
Frankly I find it sooo much easier to shoot my backgrounds separately. It helps me to plan better and eliminate that "candid snapshot" look.
