How to take your own Easter baby photoshoot
I had so much fun putting together this Easter baby photoshoot. I wanted to have fun and cute holiday photoshoots of my kids, but didn’t want to spend a lot of money. I started to learn how to do it myself and thought I would share how I did it. I included all props and outfits I used to make this happen. You can see all the details below!
I didn’t know anything about photography a couple years ago and started to learn on my own to save money. I started to share some of the things I learned here on my blog. Check out more of my DIY photoshoot tips HERE.

All the Easter decor was out by March which gave me plenty of time to prepare. Here are some links to some of the props I used in this photoshoot.
- Egg garland is from Michaels
- Easter Garland on Amazon
- Easter basket from Hobby Lobby
- Eggs from Michaels
Easter Baby Photoshoot Outfits
The bunny costume made this easter baby photoshoot! It was so cute when we put it on and he didn’t mind it at all. I bought the bunny costume here. For the second outfit I actually already had it from their cake smash photoshoot. You can get this cute blue outfit with suspenders here.

Easter Baby Photoshoot Tips
- The first tip is to put a soft blanket in the basket. Everett was not happy with the feel of the basket and started crying. I found a soft blanket and put it inside and he was totally fine.
- The second tip is to have someone standing close by. Everett would lean back and I was worried he would fall over. Its nice to have someone there just in case.
- The third tip is placement of the eggs. Having the eggs were so cute, but they kept trying to eat them. I ended up taking them away for part of the photoshoot. It helped to get some snacks to give them in between pictures.

Hi, could I get more information on the backdrop? I am completely new to photography and don’t have any back drops but I love this backdrop you used for the Easter pictures. I know you mentioned Lowes but is there an exact name for this specific backdrop.?
Some day I’ll get around to making a blog post about this. I went to Lowes and just looked at what they had in stock. It just depends on what they have. Then I had them cut it down to size for me.
Love this post! I was looking for some inspiration for my little one’s Easter photoshoot and this post has given me so many great ideas. Especially the tip about using props to add color and interest to the photos. I never would have thought to use a basket filled with jelly beans or a stuffed bunny with a bow tie. Can’t wait to get creative and capture some adorable shots!
Loved these tips! The pastel themes and props are perfect for capturing the sweet moments of my little one this Easter. I can’t wait to try the flower crown idea—such a cute touch!
