Unicorn Dreams
Pastel clouds, a rainbow and a unicorn. The most-requested set for first birthdays, and the one that photographs best under soft, slightly hazy light.

What we would tell you about this set
A small amount of haze in the air is what gives this set its glow — it makes every light bloom slightly. We use very little and ventilate between setups. If anyone in the family is asthmatic, say so and we light it differently instead.
Unicorn Dreams — common questions
You mention haze in the studio. Is that safe?+
We use a very small amount and ventilate between setups. If anyone in the family is asthmatic, say so on the call and we light it differently instead — a slightly less dreamy result, and not a trade worth making the other way.
Why is this set recommended for birthday invitations?+
The pastel backdrop leaves clean space for text, and we shoot a deliberate square crop composed for it. Most sets have to be cropped awkwardly to make room for wording; this one is planned for it.
What ages does it suit?+
Six months to about five years. Newborns can be photographed on the cloud prop, but the set really comes alive once a child sits and reacts to the unicorn.
