Picking out new photo backdrops can be really difficult. There are many different kinds of companies, sizes, and materials to choose from. PepperLu sent me three of their tear resistant polypaper backdrops to test out.
I have used vinyl backdrops in the past so this was my first experience with polypaper. The Pepperlu backdrops came rolled up in a cardboard tube, like most backdrops, but since they are thinner than the vinyl, they lose their curl and lay flat much faster.
Since I’m a natural light photographer I prefer to shoot sessions outside. However, my newborn and baby-only sessions are typically done inside. A friend of mine let me borrow her 3 month old daughter for a fun photoshoot to test out my new backdrops!
Here’s a pullback of my studio setup: I’m using one backdrop stand with a large light source to the left.
I am shooting in a room with carpet, but I have a portable wooden floor underneath the elephant to keep the backdrop from bending. I have six backdrops attached to my stand so I can quickly and easily switch them out. All three of the backdrops are long enough to use as a backdrop/floor combo for a baby or child.
Pepperlu has a ton of modern designs to choose from and they also do custom orders. They even have rugs and floordrops to choose from. Check out all the backdrops at Pepperlu and let me know which one is your favorite!

Oh my goodness! I had never heard of Pepperlu until your amazing review! I instantly fell in LOVE!! It’s so so so hard to pick just one, but if I had to, it would be the Maine Barn Board Photo Backdrop!
These backdrops look so beautiful! I will let my friend know about Pepperlu. He is a freelance photog and his favorite subjects are children and families. He’s going to love these for sure.
I adore the ‘away we go’ and ’80s surf boards’
Even though they’re all so stinking cute! Lol
I’d choose the Caribbean Dock Photo Backdrop. Thanks.
