What’s your favourite season? For many families, a spring is a popular time for an outdoor family photo session. It’s easy to see why, as you’ll find some of the most beautiful locations full of vibrant colour and stunning flowers. Daffodils, magnolia, bluebells, cherry blossom and many more creates a stunning backdrop at this time of year. It’s a time when the days are longer, it’s starting to get warmer and we can all get outside again.
Lots of families opt for spring family photos because these fresh spring portraits look beautiful in light and airy interiors, it’s a great way to inject some personality in your living space!
However, they don’t bloom all at once so when is the best time to have a family photo shoot during spring and what spring locations can you choose from? Generally, March, April and May will have some blossoms to offer. Here’s a few spring photo shoot ideas and locations to get you started!
A SPRING PHOTO SHOOT IN THE BRITISH BLUEBELLS
Bluebells will appear from mid-April – mid May (depending on the weather conditions from the previous winter months) and make for wonderful spring photos. These spring photo shoots is a wonderful family photo shoot experience for all ages. It’s one of my favourite magical and enchanting locations, it’s a shame they aren’t around all year!
A SPRING PHOTO SHOOT IN THE STUNNING MAGNOLIA
First magnolias can start blossoming in early March. We are very lucky to have so many of them where we live, including magnificent Kew Gardens and Virginia Water which is only a short drive away
A SPRING PHOTO SHOOT IN THE BEAUTIFUL BLOSSOM
The iconic spring Blossom can be found from late March to early May. It’s normally set within gorgeous surroundings and can make the perfect spring photo shoot setting. Blossom blooms at different times depending on their variety and the weather.
Think pretty pinks and neutral whites, giving you a fresh, stylish image gallery.
A SPRING PHOTO SHOOT IN THE YELLOW CORN FLOWER
You can’t miss the fields of yellow flowers in April and May and are always popular for spring family photos! Standing tall and sweet smelling – they are so much fun to shoot in. A spring photo shoot in these wonderful fields are always vibrant and punchy, great for sunny personalities!
A SPRING PHOTO SHOOT IN THE DAFFODILS AND SNOWDROPS
Daffodils and Snowdrops start appearing from early March and are often the flowers that signify the start of spring for many people. A family photo shoot here tends to suit younger children and siblings since the flowers are quite low to the ground.
A SPRING PHOTO SHOOT IN THE WHITE COWSLIP
This location is slightly off the wall! It’s not a flower, but it’s so incredibly fresh and pretty. It’s often quite fleeting too – just a couple of weeks during early May.
WHAT IS THE BEST MONTH FOR A SPRING FAMILY PHOTO SESSION?
As you can there are so many spring flowers creating the most beautiful spring backdrops for your family photographs. Of course, there will be variations in date each year depending on the weather.
In my opinion, the best months for your family portraits is mid April to mid May.
