It depends what sort of style you'd like really, what you've posted in the links should be fine though. I use a hoop system over a beanbag to stretch backdrops over, it ensures there are no creases. If you are just wanting to photograph your own baby though then it's a bit over the top! Here's...

When I started out I used jersey stretch knitted fabric. It's cheap enough off eBay and comes in a variety of colours but ideally you'd need a hoop to make sure it's stretched properly.

The Panasonic 25mm seems popular and sensibly priced.

I've just bought an E-M10 as a general/walkaround camera to save me lugging my D7200 around everywhere. I'm new to mirrorless and there seems to be so many lenses! I'm looking for something for outdoor use mainly suitable for portraits/street type photography. I haven't got a huge budget (under...
