Mother’s Day Photoshoot Ideas

 

We love our moms. Most people may even say they love their moms more than anything else. We know that our amazing moms will do anything for us which makes Mother’s Day important for us as well. We want to make sure our moms are feeling and doing their best with love, relaxation and a sense of accomplishment in life. After all, it is our moms who raise us. 

A great way to make your mom feel special and honor her legacy this Mother’s Day is with a Photoshoot! She is the star of the show. We are on this earth because of our moms, and it is time to let them feel the appreciation and love. 

There are many great photoshoot ideas for Mother’s Day that would leave her feeling special while capturing the moment to cherish for eternity. 

To be a more creative and memorable experience, I would suggest a theme for all photoshoots. Let’s look at a few.

 Mother’s Day family photoshoot

Spring Family Photo

How fitting is it that the best person’s day is during the best time of the year.  Go outdoors. Leverage the beauty and colors of spring with vibrant family photos that will reflect the love of Mother’s Day within the glow of mother nature.

Using a wide-angle lens is ideal for capturing landscaping and outdoor photos.  Check some wide angle lenses here- Nikon Savings Collection and here-Tamron Savings (also, check the mirrorless cameras. They are great cameras, and the mirrorless tech is taking the industry over. 

Family Cooking

The kitchen is a great place for a photoshoot, especially if your family loves food and cooking. Cooking is a favorite pastime for many and is an easy activity to do with the family indoors on a rainy day. It is important that all planning is done ahead of time. Make a checklist. This is the mom’s day off. You lead the way and clean up afterwards. Have fun. Don’t sweat the small stuff. It’s about the activity and not the food.

Recreating old family photos

Does your mom have a favorite old family photo? Recreating old family photos is a fun way to relive the glory days while creating new ones. You can replicate outfits or activities. Even if it is a much older photo, take extra photos with black and white filters for the full effect. Choosing outfits that match the setting of the old photo can also be fun, especially if the kids are grown up now. This is an idea that takes a bit of preparation and thought, but your mom and everyone else will remember how entertaining it was and have the photos to remember it forever.

 Gift Giving

Your mom will be shining with big smiles today. Capture the look on your moms face when she opens her gifts.

-This needs to be natural and fun, so be silly if you must.

-Have the kids force kisses and hugs while Mom is trying to open gifts for some fun poses.

Generation Photo

What better way to honor the past present and future than a memorable photo of our generations. This will be a meaningful photo and guaranteed to bring joy to the all the mothers of the day.

First Mother’s Day Photoshoot ideas

The first Mother’s Day for a woman is a milestone moment. This is a special day and you’re going to want to capture it well. Here are a few ideas to help remember the beauty of this occasion through photography.

Go to bed!

For a natural and relaxing photoshoot, go to bed! The new mom and her baby hanging out together on the bed, hugging, kissing, playing will create a very warm and cozy environment to shoot some pictures of purity and love.

Picnic in the Park

 

A nice leisurely picnic makes the perfect setting to celebrate the new mom.  Make sure to prepare everything ahead of time, let her worry only about herself and her new baby. You can capture some very flattering images at golden hour (one hour before sunset). New moms may feel conscious about taking photographs so ensure you are complimenting how beautiful she is.

 
Bohemian Style Mother’s Day Photoshoot

This is a very trendy theme, and it is no surprise why. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines bohemian as a person (such as a writer or an artist) living an unconventional life usually in a colony with others. Vagabond, Wanderer.

Art is a feeling, a story filled with passion. It can take you to a place in the heart and bring you emotions that are glorious. It only makes sense that a Boho Mother’s Day Photoshoot would be an ideal theme.

It is all about the aesthetics.

Finally, I would recommend some awesome gifts for your mom. 

One of the easiest ideas to gift with a photoshoot would be the camera used itself. Every mom loves photos and needs a good camera handy. I had mentioned mirrorless cameras earlier and I will say it makes a great gift. 

Here are some of the benefits of a mirrorless camera.

-Live exposure preview

-The Camera bodies are compact and lightweight

-No shutter noises providing a truly silent snapshot that won’t be distracting.

This would make a great gift and every photo your mom takes she will think of you.

There are some great options and bundle packages here- Mirrorless Cameras 

Some other great gift ideas can be found here- Mother's Day Gifts that you can coordinate with any photoshoot theme you choose from kitchen to outdoors to technology. 

Remember what our moms went through to have us, raise us, and provide for us. This is the day we need to shine and pull out all the stops to make them feel the joy of this lifelong commitment to you. Preparation will be the determining factor to a successful Mother’s Day. Keep it fun, keep it natural. Let the love lead the way.
