Putting our bonus room to work...

So we have this huge bonus room upstairs and never really knew what we should use it for. This last week we decided to go ahead and turn it into a photo studio. So with a very small budget and various trips to Home Depot and JoAnn's Fabrics we came up with our own studio. I made the backdrop out of 2" PVC pipes and made it so that each background is on it's separate roll which we just pop off to change when we want. Shirley suggested we try JoAnn's for fabrics to see if they had anything on clearance - and by golly we lucked out. They had numerous rolls of vinyl material on sale for $1 a yard. We got 4 different kinds including white and black - and spent a grand total of $16. In the end our new studio cost us about $80 to set up from start to finish. We plan on using it to shoot cute pictures of the girls as well as pictures which I can sell on stock photo websites. Here is one of the first pictures we took using the studio - Shirley actually took this one of Katelyn.
