5 Easy Ideas for Spring-Inspired Photos

It’s finally Spring! One of my favourite times of the year is Spring. The snow starts to melt, the sun shines a little longer into the day, and the weather is nice enough to start doing some fun activities outside with the kids. It’s also that time of year where you can play with some really fun photo ideas (perhaps even get some taken when your family is all together for Easter!)

Here are 5 easy ideas for cute Spring-inspired photos with your kids:

  1. Go to your local dollar store and check out their selection of umbrellas. You’d be surprised with the neat patterns you will find! Let each kid choose their favourite umbrella for some photos that are sure to produce some giggles.
  2. If you have girls, are they into tea parties? Find some fun dresses and sunhats at your local thrift shop and a cute tea set (plus some stuffed animals if you choose!) for some memorable shots of your girls.
  3. Pretty soon the dandelions will be out. Have some fun in a field of golden yellow dandelions and take advantage of this pop of colour for some bright and cheery photos.
  4. Check out a nearby park with trees, swings, and slides for some action shots.
  5. Paint some eggs or create some Easter crafts that can be used as props in a photoshoot.

From now until the end of June, we have some Spring mini photo sessions at Fish Creek Park. This package includes a 30 minute photo session and an 8×10 print or a set of 5×7 prints for only $79.

Take advantage of the long evenings and enjoy a photo session with your family in the beauty of nature.  Our sessions are fun and relaxed and we aim to capture photos that reflect who you are as a family.  Call Jana at 403 451 9769 to book.
