12 Beautiful Easter Photo Ideas

We all have our Easter traditions. And perhaps one of yours or your family’s is to do a photoshoot to commemorate the occasion. Ahead, we share 12 beautiful Easter photo ideas to inspire you for your next Easter photoshoot. These will ensure you make some great memories and remember the holiday for years to come.

Whenever you’re looking for photoshoot inspiration, rely on Peerspace. As the largest online marketplace for hourly venue rentals, we have countless photogenic spaces in locations across the country and beyond.

We’ll include photos of our favorite Peerspace locations we think would be great for Easter shoots along with the Easter photo ideas on this list. Let’s hop to it!

1. Dress up in bunny costumes as a family

We often see little kids in adorable animal costumes, but why not take things in an extra fun direction and have the whole family dress up in bunny costumes? This could mean bunny ears, or even a full outfit, depending on how far you want to take the idea!

Either way, we recommend adding to the overall effect by shooting your photoshoot where Easter bunnies are traditionally found: in a garden or on a lawn. Why not bring this idea to life at this traditional home with modern flair in Austin, Texas? It provides you with one acre of lush greenery, with a pool, a gazebo, and an English ivy-covered tree as possible backdrops.

2. Candid photos of an Easter egg hunt

Capture the excitement on your kids’ faces as they hunt for Easter eggs! This is the perfect Easter photo idea because it involves making memories together and because your kids will be fully occupied with a fun and engaging activity, there are very unlikely to be the same kinds of complaints that would come with a formal, posed photoshoot.

3. Playing with baby chicks

If you have kids, taking them to a local farm to meet some baby chicks – one of the most well-known symbols of Easter – is a great option!

Not sure where to start? Then check out Peerspace for modern farmhouse venues like this Omaha, NE home that also happens to have a photogenic chicken coop on its premises. Talk to the helpful host about what you’re planning and they are sure to help you coordinate the perfect time to visit their little slice of paradise.

These beautiful Easter backdrop ideas can inspire your shoot no matter your location. Check them out!

4. Visit the botanical gardens

Celebrate the flourishing life and abundance of spring that are so integrally connected to the holiday of Easter with a visit to your local botanical gardens. Take photos walking and sitting among the blooming spring flowers and spring trees.

You can also opt to book a private excursion through botanical gardens on Peerspace, like these beautiful botanic gardens in Boylston, MA. Kids and adults alike are sure to enjoy exploring all the various corners of the gardens, and the photos should turn out beautifully almost inevitably!

5. A sweet pastel cottage photoshoot

Another great Easter photo idea: wearing the pastels that are so strongly associated with the Easter holiday, consider doing your Easter photoshoot at a cottage, both indoors and out. Simple photos of you and your loved ones seated in the garden or curled up together on the couch, sipping mugs of tea or just chatting together, will help you create beautiful memories.

If you don’t have access to a cottage of your own, you can rent one via Peerspace! This charming English cottage in Evanston, IL is a perfect example of what to look for. While it’s more than 100 years old, the host has updated it with more modern furnishings and decor to make it truly photogenic.

“Christine’s place was fantastic! It was so stylish, and spotlessly clean when we arrived,” shares a Peerspace reviewer. “She was always responsive when I had questions, and was a perfect host. I hope to be back to rent again soon!”

6. Incorporate flowers and floral arrangements as props

Another Easter photo idea we love is anything that incorporates bouquets of flowers into the mix – this really screams spring and Easter.

For instance, each family member can try holding one big sunflower. You can also opt to wear gorgeous homemade flower crowns. Or how about being seated with bouquets of flowers in the backdrop? Either way, you can hardly go wrong with flowers in your photos!

7. Candid photos out to brunch

Considering the strong symbolic association between eggs and Easter, it only makes sense that you’d incorporate eggs into your Easter meal. So of course, the ideal meal would be Easter brunch! And a special benefit of a brunch photoshoot is the fact that people tend to be in their best moods when they’re eating delicious meals with people they love.

You can capture that happiness and comfort for your Easter photoshoot. Either head out to brunch at a nice restaurant or have a catered brunch with friends and family at the location of your choice.

We think somewhere like this vibrant, naturally lit home in Atlanta would be the right fit for your catered Easter event. It’s very popular with Peerspace users and provides you with a charming kitchen and dining area.

8. Dyeing Easter eggs together

Some of our favorite Easter photo ideas, and photo/photoshoot ideas in general, are of the subjects doing fun activities together!

Dyeing Easter eggs with family and friends is an activity that everyone loves, so the joy will come through in the photos.

Plus, Easter eggs themselves are of course incredibly vibrant and colorful, which will add a visually appealing touch to your photos. That pop of color will make all the difference, aesthetically speaking!

9. Preparing an Easter meal

We love this Easter photo idea: candid photos of you and loved ones preparing an Easter meal together. Cooking together is one of the greatest bonding activities, especially when you get to enjoy the fruits of your labor together at the end!

If you’d rather not snap these photos in your own kitchen, we recommend renting a spacious and high-quality venue with a kitchen on Peerspace. For instance, Peerspace users in London, England can book the large vaulted contemporary kitchen space in this home. It’s bright, airy, and provides you with plenty of photogenic spaces.

10. Dress up the pets

Do you have dogs or cats (or even a pet rabbit!) willing to tolerate a pair of bunny ears or another equally adorable Easter costume? Then this is an ideal option for your Easter photo ideas! There’s nothing cuter than a pet in a costume. If your pets are less than willing to wear clothes or accessories, you can still incorporate them into the Easter photoshoot, having them pose or play with Easter-themed props.

If you’d rather have this photoshoot somewhere other than your house, you can find plenty of pet-friendly Peerspace listings. This stunning pet-friendly condo in Phoenix, AZ is a great example of a pet-friendly photoshoot space. It’s beautiful indoors and out and provides plenty of space for your four-legged bestie to dress up and pose for the camera!

11. Use a green screen to create any background you want

The sky’s the limit with this idea! Rather than heading off to some exotic, Easter-themed locale, find a photo studio with a green screen near you and take your pictures there. Finding the photo studio itself via Peerspace should be a total breeze.

Just do a quick search in your area and you’re likely to find all kinds of options, like this huge greenscreen space in Houston, Texas. Book it and then add in whatever backgrounds you like, including ones you may have drawn and/or edited yourself! This is where the fun and creativity come in.

12. Baby photos in an Easter basket

Are you looking for ideas on how to snap adorable baby Easter photos ideas? If you have a young baby and want to capture every precious moment of their first year or so, it’s very understandable. In this case, consider a baby photoshoot that incorporates an Easter basket.

A classic photo studio that’s well-suited to portraiture, such as this vintage loft with natural light and gear in Chicago, would be a great fit for this type of photoshoot. The venue and itsa host are popular with Peerspace reviewers: “Great space, exactly what we needed for our pictures! Trevor was very attentive and accommodating with setup and anything we needed!”
