Creative Family Session Ideas for Spring


As the flowers bloom and the sun shines a little brighter, there's no better time to capture precious moments with your loved ones than during the enchanting season of spring. At Summer Brader Photography, based out of Downers Grove, I believe in creating timeless family portraits that reflect the beauty and joy of this magical time of year. Join me as I share a collection of creative family portrait ideas tailored to the spring season, along with practical tips to make your session unforgettable.


Blooming Flower Fields:

Imagine frolicking through fields of vibrant wildflowers, hand in hand with your family, as the soft breeze carries the scent of blossoms through the air. Blooming flower fields provide a picturesque backdrop for family portraits, offering a burst of color and natural beauty. Whether you opt for a classic posed shot or prefer candid moments amidst the blooms, the result is sure to be breathtaking.


Playful Outdoor Activities:

Spring is the perfect time to embrace the great outdoors and engage in playful activities with your family. Consider incorporating fun items such as kites, bicycles, or even a picnic blanket for a relaxed and lighthearted atmosphere. Capture the joy and laughter as your family enjoys a game of frisbee, explores a nearby park, or indulges in sweet treats amidst a blanket of springtime blossoms.


Practical Tips for Coordinating Outfits:

When planning your family's outfits for a springtime portrait session, opt for soft natural, pastel colors, floral prints, and lightweight fabrics that complement the season's aesthetic. Coordinate rather than match outfits, and consider incorporating subtle pops of color to add visual interest. Layers can also add dimension to your photos, allowing for versatility and comfort as the temperature fluctuates throughout the day.


Choosing Locations and Incorporating Seasonal Elements:

When choosing a location for your springtime family portraits, look for spots that showcase the season's beauty, such as blooming gardens, lush parks, or picturesque nature trails. Consider incorporating seasonal elements such as flowering trees, dandelion fields, or even rain boots and umbrellas for a whimsical touch. Embrace the beauty of nature and let the season inspire your family's portrait session.


Spring is a time of renewal, growth, and togetherness, making it the perfect backdrop for capturing unforgettable family moments.

Whether you're frolicking through flower fields or enjoying playful outdoor activities, let Summer Brader Photography be your guide to creating timeless family portraits that reflect the beauty and joy of the season.
