Make Easter Photography an Easter Family Tradition

Easter is all about love, renewal and family, making it the perfect opportunity to start a new family tradition with an Easter photoshoot. Just like gathering for egg hunts or Easter brunch, booking an annual Easter photography session can be a meaningful way to document your family’s growth and Holiday memories! These photos carry on your family’s story year after year, freezing the little ones in time and commemorating your traditions! 

While snapping quick photos on your phone is great for capturing everyday moments, nothing compares to the quality and care that a professional photoshoot offers. With a photographer who knows the best angles, lighting, and how to capture genuine smiles, you’ll leave with images that are not only beautiful but also perfect memories of your family and ready to hang up on the walls of your home! Easter family pictures turn this Holiday into timeless memories.

What is an Easter Mini Session?

An Easter mini session is a short and sweet professional Easter photography session designed to give you stunning professional portraits without the time or cost of a full-length session. In other words, mini-sessions are an affordable photoshoot that create just as many charming family photos!

📍 These sessions are held in either of our Chicago studios, featuring a charming Easter backdrop with pastel-colored eggs, spring greens and flowers, and the Easter bunny himself to make for the perfect Easter family photos!

What to Wear for Your Easter Photoshoot

Your outfit choices can enhance the overall look and feel of your Easter portraits. Soft pastel tones, floral patterns, and light, breathable fabrics work beautifully with the bright and flowy aesthetic of the season. Matching colors or complimentary colors really tie in the whole family to each other! You should wear whatever makes you comfortable for your Easter family photoshoot and whatever feels most you, but here are some ideas to get you kick-started!

  • For Women & Moms: Flowy dresses, pastel blouses, or soft floral prints create an elegant and timeless look. Think whimsical, light and bright when it comes to colors, but most importantly when it comes to how you feel in it!
  • For Men & Dads: Light-colored button-ups, linen shirts, or pastel sweaters paired with chinos or jeans. Flowy, free and comfortable!
  • For Kids: Cute rompers, suspenders, or dresses in Easter-themed shades like baby blue, lavender, blush pink, or sage green. You can also scratch the aesthetic and have your kiddo wear their favorite color because the most important thing of all is to make sure your little one is comfortable and happy!
  • For Pets: If you’re bringing your furry friend for a dog Easter photo shoot, a simple pastel-colored bandana or bunny ears can make them camera-ready and hoppy to join in!
