Fun & Unique Ideas for your Family Photoshoot
1. Go for a Nature Walk
Doing an activity like going for a walk can make for a really fun and interactive family photoshoot! There are endless parks around that make for a beautiful backdrop on a nice summer or fall evening. I have many go-to parks around the Sioux Falls area for family sessions like The Outdoor Campus, Arrowhead Park, McKennan Park, Lake Alvin, Good Earth State Park, and more. Tall grass and rolling hills at a park also makes for extra spots for us to explore with your little ones, play tag, get the imagination going, and do anything we or they want to hangout as a family.
2. Hangout in the Backyard / At Home
There’s no place like home. We can plan to do an activity like bake cookies, pizzas, have a picnic, snuggle up on the couch, or just hanging out in the backyard have become some of my favorite activities for at-home photoshoots capturing your family all together.
3. A Family Game / Activity Session
There are endless games and ideas we could do like reading a book, playing with bubbles, yard games, ride horses, or go for a cruise in your pickup truck. I love to have props for family sessions as it adds another element and makes it so fun for the kids and engages them right away.
4. Cozy at Home
Sometimes just snuggling each other and exploring rooms in the house together is such a fun way to spend a family photoshoot and really shows the closeness and bond you each have with each other with how you hug, touch, and embrace each other.
5. Go to a Studio
It can be nice to sometimes not worry about cleaning up toys or make sure your home is tidy so renting a studio space for an hour could be the way to go! There are multiple great studio options around Sioux Falls like Mode Studio, White Space Studio, West Sioux Studio, RHYS Studio, and more that all include plenty of props, couches, and even a bed to create a relaxed and cozy environment for a family session.
Other Ideas and Location Inspiration:
- Walk around downtown
- Go to a movie theater
- Go to the beach or a lake
- Walk around a garden
- Pick wildflowers when they are in season
- Go swimming in your backyard or local pool
- Spend the morning together, getting ready together
- Go for a family bike ride
- Get coffee together at a local shop
- Finger paint a blank white sheet
- Go for an ice cream run
- Have a tea party
- Celebrate a birthday
