4. Include some real animals
What if your kids are scared of costumed characters? Not to worry. You can still capture some adorable photos of your kids with an Easter bunny. Stage some photos with a real rabbit, or with other adorable animals like chickens or ducklings.
This beautiful flower farm in Lebanon, TN is just 30 minutes from Nashville and is home to fluffy bunnies, chickens, and, of course, gorgeous seasonal flowers.
“This was without a doubt the best host experience I’ve had,” shares a director who booked this farm for a production. “The property was beautiful and accommodating. The hosts respond quickly and went above and beyond my expectations for our production. 11/10 will definitely be using this location again.”
5. Put on your Sunday best
Here’s an Easter family photoshoot idea that’s perfect for families who want a more formal touch. Have the whole family put on their favorite formalwear, then head out to a studio where your formalwear can shine.
This bright and open Los Angeles studio has tons of bright flowers and sophisticated design touches, perfect for a more formal springtime photoshoot. You can add props like painted eggs or baskets for your kids to pose with or keep it simple for a minimalist look.
6. Let your kids open their Easter baskets
One of the most adorable Easter moments is when your kids discover their baskets from the Easter Bunny. Why not tell your kids that the Easter Bunny paid them an early visit so you can get some extra adorable pics? Set out an Easter basket filled with goodies, then stage pictures of your kids with them for maximum cuteness.
You can either snap pics at home or change up the location by shooting at a Peerspace home, like this gorgeous craftsman space in Los Angeles. It is a super stylish, 2,000-square-foot home with tons of natural light and boho mid-century modern furnishings.
7. Wear Easter-themed costumes
Who says costumed photoshoots are just for Halloween? Dress your kids up in some adorable Easter-inspired costumes. Imagine how cute your toddler would look dressed as a fluffy chick or a floppy-eared bunny.
You could also wear family costumes for your photoshoot or even wear color-coordinated outfits. Keep an eye out for spaces with neutral backdrops where your choice of wardrobe can shine, like this open studio space in Los Angeles. It’s a professional space that includes lighting gear and different colored walls to provide several unique looks, all in one place.
8. Include your pets
Don’t forget to include your family pets in the costumed fun! You could dress your dog up in adorable bunny ears, or humiliate your cat with an easter egg hat.
Keep an eye out for outdoor Peersapce venues where you can bring your pets. This sprawling farm in Soddy Daisy, Tennesse offers plenty of scenic outdoor backdrops, perfect for a family Easter photoshoot in the great outdoors.
9. Bake Easter treats
Do your kids love to cook or bake? Why not put their culinary talents to the test by staging an Easter photoshoot in the kitchen?
Help your kids whip up some homemade chocolate bunnies or rice treats, and photograph them having fun. Not only will you get to spend some quality time together, but you’ll get to enjoy both some adorable photos and delicious treats.
You can take this Easter family photoshoot idea to the next level by hosting at a Peerspace kitchen, like this farmhouse kitchen in Kensington, New Hampshire. Gather around the marble countertopped island while you and your loved ones bake and snack.
