Igor, you needn't let lacking a "suitable backdrop" stop you. Just use
a wide aperture with a decent distance from behind your kid to the
background and let blur create a nice randomly mottled background.
And, I don't know about you, but in these stuck-at-home pandemic days
I *relish* finding an involved project! Presently I am pursuing the
perfect pour-over coffee (using spreadsheets, weigh scales,
thermometers, and timers)
SwissGold coffee filter, Hario coffee scoop, mug, nice coffee, boiling water.
and just today I have added learning how to
make decent protein smoothies to my task list.
Banana, fat-free Greek yogurt, fat-free milk, bit of honey. Stick blender, pint
jug. Peel the banana first, and discard the peel. Or not, it’s up to you.
There now, I’ve spoiled your lockdown.
I've learned how to freeze bananas, so my smoothies are half a banana, a couple
of frozen strawberries & a couple of frozen pineapple chunks & fill the blender
with water up to the to the top of the fruit + an equal volume of ice.
Vitamix blender.
Occasionally I substitute one of those instant breakfast nutrition shakes for
the water, but once those are all gone, I'm not buying any more of them.
The "French Vanilla" flavoring is horribly overdone & they taste awful and the
only way I've been able to get them down is mixing them in smoothies (and they
make the smoothie taste awful, but not quite unbearable).
I can safely state that shooting portraits is a breeze compared to
consistently making good pour overs. :-)

Cool photo, and a nice kid!
Just on Tuesday, I took our daughter (who is in the "virtual mode") to the
school, for the school photo. I was entertaining the thought of doing one
myself, - but I lack any suitable backdrop. Besides, not doing this type
of shots routinely would make it a rather involved project.
So, I let it to be done by the people who are better set up than I am.
I wish some PDMLers were closer. :)
Cheers,
Igor
