There are so many different types of Mother’s Day shoots you could organise and promote as a photographer, all dependent on who is organising the shoot and how far along your client is in her motherhood journey.
Offshoot Studios is the ideal location for Mother’s Day shoots. We offer your clients privacy and comfort with dedicated makeup and changing areas, as well as climate control in both our studios.
Here are some ideas for different types of Mother’s Day photoshoots.
First Mother’s Day
Expectant mums might celebrate their first Mother’s Day even before the baby arrives. Partners could purchase a Mother’s Day session as a surprise gift that Mum could use before or after the baby arrives. Current trends for these shoots include crisp-looking studio backdrops, high contrast, and dramatic fabrics.
Mothers will love to personalise the experience with baby booties, ultrasound images, an outfit for the new baby, or a special toy. If you want additional colour, consider artificial flowers and greenery in your studio setting.
Mummy and me
These short sessions (up to 30 minutes) focus on the bond between mum and child. The short session helps to make sure everyone enjoys the experience.
You’ll want to keep it simple for busy mums – one outfit and one location – perhaps a cozy sofa setup for a lifestyle look. The ideal session is short, sweet, and stress-free. This would be perfect to book back-to-back sessions where you can focus on nailing the singular look.
Generations of love
Celebrate and remember a family’s generations of women.
Complementary outfits and a simple background place the focus on strong women and their history together. Three or even four generations of women can take their place in the frame.
Make sure you have a studio large enough to accommodate more people.
Just for her
Mothers spend a lot of time behind the camera, documenting the family’s story. For her special day, why not put mothers in the spotlight for a dramatic portrait?
Picture fashion styling and dramatic lighting to make mothers feel beautiful.
Partners or adult children will line up to give mothers this experience, or mothers will just gift themselves. You can make this a special event she’ll never forget by including professional hair and makeup services, along with some celebratory champagne.
