Why should you consider spring photoshoot ideas?

There are plenty of reasons to plan a spring photoshoot – whether you’re running a special promotion or not.

Staging a spring photoshoot can help your business:

• Stay relevant. A spring photoshoot can help your business stay relevant by creating fresh content that aligns with the seasons. Add your photos to your Instagram Story, create a ‘Happy Easter’ Facebook post, or document your shoot on TikTok – the opportunities are endless.
• Promote your seasonal products. A spring photoshoot can be the perfect way to promote your seasonal products. Small businesses can use their photos to create advertisements for an exclusive Easter collection, or craft seasonal flyers for an upcoming spring event.
• Take advantage of the warm weather. With the weather getting warmer and many flowers starting to bloom, spring can be an excellent time for a photoshoot. Restaurants and bars can showcase their outdoor seating areas, while fashion brands can experiment with more creative shots among the spring scenery.

5 spring photoshoot ideas to get you started.

A spring photoshoot can look different for each business. A marketing firm may stage a spring photoshoot to refresh their socials, while a family run café may want to promote their seasonal products.

Regardless of your intentions, you may want to consider your brand, audience and tone of voice when deciding what to include. Here are five spring photoshoot ideas to get you started:

1. Nature and rebirth.

Looking for outdoor spring photoshoot ideas? Spring marks a time for new beginnings, so what better way to welcome the season than by heading outdoors and staging a photoshoot around themes of nature and rebirth?

Think fields of tulips in full bloom, or cherry blossom trees lining a street. You could experiment with close ups and expansive shots, depending on the focus of your photo.

If you’re wanting to recreate this theme on a smaller scale, you could collect leaves, branches and bouquets instead to add some natural spring scenery to your product shots.

2. Spring picnic.

Work within the food industry? Create a scenic spring picnic to promote your spring menu. Bring along a patterned picnic blanket, a fresh pot of flowers and other spring-themed decorations to create the perfect backdrop.

You could even go all out and create an Easter themed spring picnic with patterned eggs alongside your Easter goodies.

3. Family fun.

With the school holidays and May bank holidays, spring is the perfect time to evoke memories of childhood and family fun. This could work even better if families are your target audience.

Think of ways to feature them in your own spring photoshoot. This might include using different families as your models, or setting up a photoshoot that plays on some classic family activities you might do in spring – think a family roast dinner, or a stroll through the bluebells.

4. Easter games and traditions.

Easter games and traditions can also be great themes for a spring photoshoot. You could hold an Easter egg hunt and stage a photoshoot or decorate your business space with Easter bunting and Easter decorations. You could even stage a photoshoot to gather pics for an Easter-themed social media giveaway.

5. Indoor spring photoshoot ideas.

You don’t have to head into the great outdoors to capture the spirit of spring. Simply bring spring to you. Create a vibrant spring themed backdrop with DIY garlands, daffodils and bunny decorations, then capture some seasonal shots. Once you’re done, upload your photos to your Facebook story to share with your followers.

Good to know.

What colours should I wear for spring photography?

Spring and summer colours often work well in a spring photoshoot. Think blues, pinks, purples, whites and creams. Beige and neutral colours can also work well. If you’re planning a photoshoot outdoors, it may be best to avoid wearing green as you could blend in with the natural surroundings.

What time of year is best for spring photos?

April and May are often good months for a spring photoshoot. This is a time when many flowers have usually started to bloom, and the weather typically starts to get warmer. Though you may want to plan an indoor spring photoshoot idea as backup, in case of any April showers.
