Rent children’s special occasion outfits for a family photo shoot
How fabulous would any of these outfits be with a gorgeous handprinted ceiling tile backdrop. And yes, you can still create life style photo shoots and use the tiles. They will simply add dimension and a dash of the unexpected in the background. We love it even more than ever since Milan over at Decorative Ceiling Tiles is stocking more and more gorgeous decorative tile designs evry time we check! We actually think the top photo of the girls singing would be vastly improved if the wall had a bit more dimension. Nothing too too fussy. Maybe just a tile like the one featured below.
