For soon-to-be moms with a sense of humor, a fun maternity photoshoot is a perfect way to share your excitement about the new baby who’s about to join your family! We’ve got tons of potential costume ideas to consider, so keep reading. Our first suggestion is a floral goddess costume – wear an ethereal gown adorned with fake flowers and greenery for an enchanting look. Or dress up as a “supermom,” complete with a cape and a personalized superhero emblem, to symbolize the strength and power of motherhood. Do you have a favorite film or TV character, like a Disney princess, a character from a fantasy series, or a famous mom from a classic movie? If so, you can recreate their iconic look for a fun maternity photoshoot. And if none of these ideas appeal to you, maybe you’ll enjoy a rockstar costume, channeling your inner Mick Jagger, Janis Joplin, or Jimi Hendrix while wearing a leather jacket, classic band T-shirt, and ripped jeans.

Are you planning a pre-wedding photoshoot where you and your beau both wear costumes, but you’re not sure exactly what costumes you’d like to wear yet? How about a “fairy tale romance” costume, where the two of you bring your favorite classic fairy tale couple to life with whimsical costumes? You can dress up as characters like Cinderella and Prince Charming, Belle and Beast, or Rapunzel and Flynn Rider. Or you can showcase your shared love of sports by wearing jerseys or sports-themed outfits, such as jerseys of your favorite teams or attire for the sport that both of you are passionate about to add a playful, energetic vibe to your photoshoot. Another cool idea to consider would be to embrace the mystery and elegance of a masquerade ball by wearing formal attire paired with elaborate masks – this is sure to add an air of intrigue to your photoshoot!

If you’re hoping to embark on a joyful, memorable costume photoshoot with your partner, there are tons of ways you can find exciting and unforgettable costume photoshoot ideas for the two of you. First, explore pop culture to find costumes inspired by your favorite movies, TV shows, or books. Choose an iconic couple like Bonnie and Clyde, Romeo and Juliet, or characters from your favorite fantasy or sci fi universes. You can also look to a particular decade, such as the 1920s, 1950s, or 1980s, to find costumes that reflect the aesthetics of that time. In addition, you can look to historical couples for inspiration, such as iconic celebrity couples (Old Hollywood has quite a few!) or – if you go even further into the past – Cleopatra and Mark Antony. For more general inspo, you can browse social media platforms like Pinterest, TikTok, and Instagram for keywords like “couples costume photoshoot ideas” or “themed couple photoshoots” to find others who have done similar photoshoots.

To locate top-notch costume photography studios, we’ve got a few recommendations for approaches you can take. One place to look for photography studios is on an hourly rental platform like Peerspace, where you can rent not only photo studios but all kinds of spaces that might be a great fit for a theatrical, costumed photoshoot. Using Peerspace makes finding a photo studio a much easier and more streamlined process than on more generalized search engines. You can filter your search results based on a whole host of criteria, including indoor and outdoor spaces that come with the rental, the style (such as rustic, beachy, vintage, modern, etc.), the type of space, the amenities that are included with the space, and so much more. Some photo studios may even come with access to photography equipment, either included with the rental price or for an additional fee – if so, it will likely be mentioned in the listing description.

Costume photoshoots offer a delightful escape into the world of imagination. Whether it’s for something like cosplay, Halloween, a themed event, or another reason entirely, participating in a photoshoot centered around wearing costumes enables you (and anyone else participating!) to embody your favorite characters, eras, and aesthetics.
