How to take your own Easter baby photoshoot

in Uncategorized, DIY on 04/24/19

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.

Easter Baby Photoshoot Props

It can be so fun to have props in a photoshoot with kids and you don’t have to spend a lot of money. I went to the dollar store and Michaels to get props for this photoshoot. 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

If you need more tips on how to take pictures of babies check out my tips for photography babies blog post. I give lots of tips on how to get them to look at the camera and when the perfect time to take photos are.

Easter Baby Photoshoot Backdrop

The backdrop is the most important part of the picture. It really makes it all come together. If you don’t want to get the backdrop I used in this photo try using a white sheet or a blank wall.

This backdrop is a 4X8 wall panel from Lowes. It cost $14 a sheet and I had them cut it down to 4X5. I went to a lot of different home improvement stores and Lowes was the only store to have these wall panels with lots of different options.

I used my backdrop stand to prop the board up. I used clamps to keep the board in place and hold the banner up. You can click HERE to see what lighting and equipment I use for all my photoshoots.

Hope you all had a very Happy Easter! Hope this helps you save money and create fun memories of your kids growing up!

    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.

My dad and I went to our last movie together for t My dad and I went to our last movie together for three years. It was the perfect movie to see. My dad was in the Air Force and we went with his brother who was also in the Air Force. Such a great movie and special time! 

I can honestly say my dad is one of my best friends. Movies has always been our thing. I’ll never forget the time he sat me down one night when I was younger and said “my most favorite book when I was a kid was Lord of the Rings. They are making a movie. Let’s read the book together and see it when it comes out” That was the beginning ❤️

It’s so important to keep your children safe in It’s so important to keep your children safe in and around your home! I’ve teamed up with @Duracell to encourage parents to take the #DuracellPowerSafely Check quiz and locate some of the devices in your home that use lithium coin batteries. 

 

Lithium coin batteries can be hazardous for small children if they are swallowed. I encourage you to go around your home and swap out your lithium coin batteries for Duracell lithium coin batteries with the bitter coating. The packaging is child secure and the bitter coating is designed to help reduce the risk of accidental ingestion. 

 

Head to Duracell.com or the link in my stories to take the quiz and watch the educational video about lithium coin battery safety. Share with your friends and family. One simple step to feel safer at home with your littles!
