12 Creative 6-Month Baby Photoshoot Ideas (2024)

Looking for creative 6-month baby photoshoot ideas? We understand. After all, babies don’t stay little forever! And six-month-old babies have the same “cuteness factor” as puppies and kittens, which is off-the-scale adorable! Of course, doting parents will want to do a photoshoot of their roly-poly little angel to keep and remember this stage of their lives, because we know it doesn’t last forever.

But how and where to schedule a photoshoot? Peerspace is here to offer location suggestions and themes for your 6-month baby photoshoot ideas. With fabulous and thematically appropriate venues in thousands of cities and towns across the US, Peerspace has a photoshoot location that is perfect for your needs. Let’s explore these in more detail ahead alongside our 6-month baby photoshoot ideas.

This colorful entertainment space in Dublin, OH, is a unique and convenient location to realize your 6-month baby photoshoot ideas.

We’re crazy about the soft grass, the tall hedges that allow for privacy, and the nearby plant life to frame your baby’s photos. Sometimes all you need for a fabulous photo session is a beautiful day, a colorful blanket on the grass, and a few of baby’s favorite toys to achieve your 6-month baby photoshoot ideas.

When you book a Peerspace venue, you also get the opportunity to read reviews from past renters. And this NYC classroom is no different! Like this one:“This was THE MOST AMAZING experience I’ve ever had with a location and a location scout! Claudia was remarkably attentive and helpful and bent over backwards to make our shoot as smooth and pleasant as possible! The owners of the space were equally amazing and this is THE location to utilize when shooting classroom scenes anywhere in New York! I honestly can’t recommend them enough!”

6. Go natural and rustic with a log home photoshoot

We chose this classic Colonial country cabin in Saylorsburg, PA because it has such a beautiful and well-appointed nursery. The rest of the house is quite interesting as well.

Per the description: “1700s log home with 2 floors, an unfinished attic space, and a basement. The property consists of 3 acres with a barn, original outhouse, and potting shed as well as a stream and a cottage garden. We are 1.5 hours from NYC”. The garden and bank of the stream would also be nice photo locations, too.

This craftsman home in Sylvan Park in Nashville, TN has a delightful nursery and the rest of the house is lovely too. The “house has a very open floor plan, which makes it great for photo and video shoots. Downstairs is the master bedroom, bathroom, dining room, living room, kitchen, office, and butler’s pantry. Upstairs is one guest bedroom, one playroom, a nursery, and a full bath.

Unique features included a screened porch with a quaint, fenced-in backyard”. The fenced backyard would also be a nice location for an outdoor photoshoot.

In the words of a Peerspace reviewer: “This place was amazing and so perfect for our needs. Megan and her family worked seamlessly with our production and so professional. Would highly recommend!”

Sometimes all you need for the perfect photoshoot with a baby is a beautiful lawn and a baby blanket to sit on.
