Feeling uninspired but know you’re probably overdue to have some professional photos taken? Check out this quick list of ideas for your next shoot:
1. Urban explorers
Dive into the heart of Perth or Freo with an urban themed portrait session. These spots offer such a variety of locations and backdrops, with cute shops and cafes, graffiti-covered walls and cool modern architecture. Imagine how adorable a portrait of your family would look, wearing sunnies and sipping milkshakes together at a funky little café, hanging on a wall in your home.
2. Golden hour
There’s something undeniably magical about golden hour—the time just after sunrise or before sunset. The soft, warm light during this period is incredibly flattering and adds a dreamy quality to your photos. Whether you’re shooting in a field of wildflowers or in the sand by the ocean, golden hour provides a natural glow that enhances skin tones and adds depth to your images.
3. Seasonal themes
Embrace the current season with a themed photo shoot. In Autumn, head somewhere like Hyde Park to play in the colourful foliage. Winter offers opportunities for cosy, rugged-up snuggles at home, complete with hot chocolate and warm blankets. Spring is all about blooming flowers and pastel colours, while summer is ideal for beach outings. Seasonal themes not only provide a variety of natural backdrops but also allow you to incorporate seasonal props and wardrobe choices too.
4. Make it unique
Think about your passions, hobbies and favourite pastimes. Maybe you’re a family who loves bushwalking—imagine capturing those moments on your favourite trail, with the kids exploring and the beautiful natural scenery as your backdrop.
5. Lifestyle storytelling
Tell a story through your photos by capturing everyday moments at home in a natural, unposed manner. Whether it’s baking in the kitchen, playing with your kids in the backyard, or enjoying a picnic in the sunshine, a home lifestyle session will focus on genuine interactions and emotions. These sessions result in candid, heartfelt images that reflect your true selves and create lasting memories.
Whether you’re drawn to the urban vibe, the magic of golden hour, or the cosy comforts of home, there’s a perfect shoot idea waiting to capture your unique story. And if you have an idea that’s a bit outside the box, I’m all for it. I love embracing creative concepts that showcase who you are, so feel free to reach out and let’s make it happen!
