There are kits available, and you can then practice with the different options to see which works best.

Chroma Flooring Options

You can get faux wood planks or brick print, solid colors, and other choices depending on the type of photography you think you will do the most in the studio.

Curtain Backdrops

Curtain backdrops are also easy to use. You can put different colors on a rod and slide them as needed as the backdrop of your in studio pictures, and they can be long enough to cover the floor as well. These can get dusty and dirty and will need to be washed regularly with use.

Props

Vintage markets, antique stores, and garage sales are great places to find items that will work as props. Some customers may want to bring in their own as well.

Get enough background options to offer some variety for your clients, and then make sure that you have a chair or a great seating area to give a base to the photos and to keep everyone comfortable.
