Mom and Son Photoshoot Ideas for Unique and Creative Photos

Options are endless. But effective ones are less. You will see a lot of photos on the internet but not all of them will make the effort shine. Therefore, some personality touch is a must for creative work. And something built upon a relationship definitely draws a curve of personality. So, come let’s portray the stitched bond of creation.

1. Newborn Photoshoot

Newborn photoshoots, itself, are a huge topic. From the day the baby is born, to his/her 7-10 days are counted as a newborn. Newborns are so small and grow super-fast, which makes the parent miss those initial moments of being a parent. There are some unique ideas for newborn photoshoots. Like theme-based newborn photoshoots. Color based. Some adorable poses and all.

There are professional newborn photographers as well, who will shoot for you with your preference and what you like. But before going to a professional, try it by yourself. Since newborns are sensitive themselves, they need some extra care. Not only in Photoshoots, a newborn needs professional photo editors as well.

Embrace the Love, Affection and Bond

2.Embrace the Love, Affection and Bond

Mother’s love is already a natural and spiritual element. The best way to portray the love is to focus on capturing the motherly kiss, tickles in feet or maybe tickle fight, hugging and holding the baby with adorable eyes, beautiful smiles, belly smooches, and similar small cute acts.

3.Holiday Happiness

Who doesn’t love holidays? Everyone does, right? And it is common to click the fun moments at holidays. Mother and son’s love can also be expressed through their favorite fun moments, visiting their favorite places. Each photo can hold a memory of a beautiful holiday journey.

These types of pictures will hold the emotion which will carry “do you remember this picture? You were only 3 years old when we went to Miami”. Yeap! These all carry memories. Or holidays can be festive as well. Like Eid, Christmas, Birthdays, Holi, and many more like these celebrations. So, go and collect your moments in your memory bucket.

4.Very First Day at School

The first day is a special day! Not only for school but in every sector of life. School is just the beginning. Also, school is the first learning place. It definitely holds value for grown-ups when they learn about life and grow emotions for close ones. It creates a dimmed vision of life’s every first move. And Momma's boys want to picture their past with their moms. That is why the school is an important place to hold the memories.

5.Daily Chores

It’s high time to embrace the basic necessity of living a life both for man and woman. Gender is not a fact when it comes to household chores. And little learning shows open minded upbringing. The fertile mentality of a mom can bring up a fertile mentalized son. So why not capture those small moments? When mom and son do the cooking, dishes, clothing, and cleaning together. It also looks adorable.

Why not just enjoy the small things in life? Finding happiness in daily activities is a blessing. So why not capture them and keep them as a memory?

6.Mother and the Mother Nature

The mother and son relationship is something so connected to nature. A bond of creation that cannot be denied by anyone. The only natural bond that is attached to each other by birth. To represent the vibes of this beautiful bond, what is better than mother nature? Shooting in nature is also a common case in the photography world.

7.Fashion Photoshoot

Did you see your favorite celebrity having a baby and revealing their face with a proper photoshoot? Yes, celebs like Rihana, Kylie, Kim, Beyonce, Cardi B and many more. Isn’t there a photoshoot that looks so perfect to achieve? The picture-perfect photo in every pose! Mesmerizing. Just be fashionable in your own way. And make the path. On your own way.

8.Mom Time + Son Time = Fun Time

It’s all about how you spend your leisure time with your son. What do you guys do? What is it that recharges your energy for the rest of the day? After being a mother, a woman’s life is centered on her son. She has to think about her kid all the time. But mothers are superhuman. They also found their leisure with their son. It can be singing together, dancing together, painting together, playing together anything. Anything that makes them energy.

9.Embracing Mom’s Profession

Choosing a career and sticking with that is a personal choice and preference. But when you become a mother your first priority becomes your child. You let yourself stay in the place where your child would feel safe and have mother’s love and care. But that might not stop you from being a supermom. Balancing work and personal life together. So why not speak it up proudly? Why not showcase this beauty? You can take pictures of yourself in your working environment or something that resembles your profession and have your child in the frame. Let your kid know, mummy is doing important work. Mommy needs to work and you should acknowledge that.

Sometimes I wonder, what would I look like as a mother? What would be my picture of a working mom?

I guess it would be something similar to this. Well, let me keep wondering but don’t have to. Grab your uniform and grab your son. And take pictures with pride.

10.Dress Like Your Favorite Character

Children have a very strong imaginative power compared to adults. They love to create an imaginary world of their own. They love to travel in that imagination. Mostly they create this imaginative world based on what they are watching and thinking on a daily basis. But those imaginations fade away as soon as they grow up. You can capture those cute moments. It’s also fun to recreate them.

11.Twinning With Mom

It’s as simple as it sounds. Just match your outfit. It is an idea that can never get old. Usually, it’s common with moms and daughters. But, why should girls have all the fun? I love to see when moms match their outfits with their sons. It’s never out of trend.

12.Before-After Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a period of hope and preparation for upcoming happiness. Mothers took more care of themselves and that was also a kind of struggle. A struggle of a total of 9 months. Capture the struggle. And then happiness…

13.The Wedding Dance

This part is for grown up sons. A child will always be a child to his mother. No matter how old he gets. And a son always needs his mother, no matter how hard a time he has faced or how experienced he is. That is an emotion. Express your emotions whenever you get time. And a wedding day is the perfect time to show “hey, mom. No matter how far I go or whatever I achieve, I will always need your support and need you to stand by my side.” Capture the wedding moments, don’t forget to capture the dance moves with your mom.

14.Recreating Old Photos

This one is so trendy this year. Recreating the picture you have taken years before. Try this one as well. It’s one of the different mom and son picture ideas. And also unique as mother and grown-up son photo ideas.

15.Headshot With Mom

Headshot is a professional photoshoot. And it is mostly done from a business and corporate perspective. But it also looks classy and professional in the mom and son photoshoot. Most family pictures and classy photoshoots have this type of headshot photography.

So, these were the best mom and son photo ideas that you can follow to create your best picture. Mother and son photoshoots are getting way more common than before. So don’t be late at the trend party.

We always encourage you to do a photoshoot by yourselves and then you can relax and leave the editing and retouching pain on us. Because of two reasons. First of all, the professional photographer who gives you the perfect picture charges you 90% for their photoshoot and 10% for their editing. So, if you can shoot and save 90% then we can still give you the professional look by just spending that 10%.

Conclusion

Mom and son photoshoot is a mixed emotion of all. It is a blend of motherhood, growing up, nature’s beauty bond, love and care. Since the bond is already a very strong and emotional bond. It is possible to celebrate your extraordinary bond through mom and son photoshoot ideas. You have to put the effort into making the picture to carry the emotions as well.
