This includes thousands of photoshoot-worthy spaces in cities across the globe that can suit a variety of shoot themes. While we’re here to share some photoshoot ideas, we’ll squeeze in a few photoshoot locations to bring your shoot to life!

Ahead, we share 11 unique March photoshoot ideas and locations that’ll help you get inspired. Just keep reading!

1. Celebrating spring equinox photoshoot

The spring equinox takes place on March 20th and is the official first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. According to the Farmers Almanac, “After this date, the Northern Hemisphere begins to be tilted more toward the Sun, resulting in increasing daylight hours and warming temperatures.”

Why not celebrate this exciting day with a spring equinox-themed photoshoot? What we have in mind is a space that provides you with flower bloom-inspired themes.

For instance, check out this urban house with a blooming twist in Houston. It is a gorgeous, modern space decked out with pink flowers inside and out. While the interior provides you with several areas for taking photos to celebrate the spring equinox, it’s the backyard that’s won our hearts. The faux grass and flower wall, the upside-down flowers hanging from the pergola, and the clawfoot tub with a flower arch offers so much amazing content creation options.

2. Stay warm and rent a photo studio

Perhaps you’re someone who doesn’t enjoy the chilly weather often associated with the month of March. If so, snapping some photos indoors might produce your favorite March photoshoot ideas. Renting a photo studio is a good choice, and there are sure to be plenty of options in your city.

For example, if you’re located anywhere near the Twin Cities, check out this photography studio in Saint Paul. It is an ideal location for photos that will only run you $60 per hour and has more than 100 positive reviews.

To quote one reviewer who booked a photoshoot here, “This space was everything plus more! It was my very first indoor studio session with a client last minute, and not only was I allowed to book, but Arnold also gave me some really great tips and pointers as a beginner. We will be booking here again for sure!”

3. Cherry blossoms photoshoot

In many locations, cherry blossoms mark the arrival of spring starting around mid-March. Taking photos of the cherry blossoms themselves or using them as a stunning backdrop is a wonderful March photoshoot idea. They only last for about two weeks once they’ve started blooming, so make sure to plan ahead so you don’t miss them!

Our beautiful spring photoshoot ideas have even more inspiration for March and beyond!

4. Spring picnic photoshoot

If you’re planning on taking photos of human subject(s), consider a spring picnic shoot. This idea really comes to life in a pretty location like a grassy field at your local park. It is a wonderful and easy-to-execute idea for a March photoshoot.

For inspiration, check out this glamping tent outdoor site in Decatur, GA. You can use the canvas bell tent and take advantage of the acres of natural forestry that surround the location.

All you need is a picnic blanket and, ideally, a picnic basket full of delicious portable snacks. You might have some of these picnic photos be more posed, while others are more candid and spontaneous feeling.

5. Bird photos

Many birds begin to migrate during the month of March, including ducks, geese, tree swallows, and red-winged blackbirds. For those who enjoy getting out into nature and exploring, even if you live in a city, you can find migrating birds in parks and other green spaces. Take advantage of their arrival with an avian photoshoot!

6. Flower crown photoshoot

Since flowers are such a significant symbol of the arrival of spring, we love the idea of incorporating them into the attire of your subject with a gorgeous flower crown.

Here’s a guide to making a flower crown from the queen of DIY, Martha Stewart. Feel free to use real flowers for authenticity or fake ones if you want to ensure that the crown lasts longer.

7. Local café photoshoot

Do you live near an aesthetically pleasing café with outdoor seating? Then doing a photoshoot there is a great option for the month of March when things are likely just beginning to warm up.

To find a perfectly aesthetic space that welcomes productions of every size, consider booking a local cafe through Peerspace. We offer you access to countless options in cities near you.

Have your subject sit at one of the tables and sip the drink of their choice while you snap flattering photos of them basking in the sunlight!

8. Don’t forget to check the weather forecast before you go

March weather has been known to be unpredictable, with spring rain showers arriving out of nowhere and the sky shifting from sunny to cloudy at a moment’s notice.

With this in mind, make sure you check the weather before you head out for your March photoshoot ideas. You don’t end up getting rained out and wasting your own time and potentially that of the person/people you’re photographing. You’ll probably want to make sure to bring an umbrella, just in case!

It’s only a few weeks away, so check out our splashy summer photoshoot ideas now!

9. Botanical garden photoshoot

Many cities and towns have their own botanical gardens where a wide array of different plants can be found growing throughout the year, both indoors and outside.

A March photoshoot at a botanical garden is a great option because once you’re done taking photos of the early spring plants in the outdoor areas, you can head inside to the greenhouses and capture the variety of verdant growth found there year-round.

10. Easter photoshoot

Easter Sunday doesn’t always take place in March, but it does some years. So if you’re doing your March photoshoot in a year where Easter happens in March, you might want to hold a cute Easter photoshoot!

Incorporate imagery and props like painted eggs, bunnies, and other cute and classic themes associated with the holiday. For more Easter photoshoot ideas, take a look at these suggestions from Fix the Photo.

11. Floral dress in a field of flowers

If you live in a place where March means the flowers start appearing, we’ve got a lovely March photoshoot idea for you: have your subject wear a pretty floral dress or other flower-printed outfit and find a field of flowers where you can take photos. Fields of flowers that begin blooming early might be tulips, daffodils, or any of the 19 earliest flowers you’ll see blooming in spring.

If you’d like to rent a flower field/farm for your photoshoot, Peerspace has quite a few locations for you to rent. For instance, this spectacular flower farm with a barn and pavilion in Ferris, Texas, is a gorgeous destination for a photoshoot with lots of positive reviews from previous renters.

The hosts describe it as a “beautiful, sustainable, 100-acre farm just 25 minutes south of downtown Dallas” with “fields of flowers and pastures with cows, chickens, goats, etc., a rustic old barn, vintage farming equipment, and other picturesque settings”. Sounds like a steal at only $120 per hour!
