First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes — wait, we can't forget about your engagement photos! Before you start thinking bridesmaid dresses, vows or cake toppers, you'll want to plan engagement photos. Whether you use them on your wedding website, save the dates, or just as a keepsake, this is the time to shoot those dreamy shots. And it doesn't matter if a photographer or a friend with a great phone camera is snapping your pics, you'll need to find the right outfits, plan the poses and pick your location. We know, it's a lot. To make things easier, we found 21 unique engagement photo ideas so you and your partner can shoot the romantic pictures you've dreamed of.

And after all that time spent on finding the right outfit and location, it's no wonder your camera roll is filled with sweet shots of you and your fiancé (especially after it took you 10 minutes to get the perfect sunset shot). Don't let those pics get lost in your phone, print them in a wedding-inspired photo book (print them in a Layflat photo book and add blank text pages to every other page to create a personalized guest book for your wedding), or hang them on your wall with Canvas Wall Tiles. And if you love saving your favorite memories from every month, print 30 pictures each month with a Monthbooks subscription.

Find a local park, nature preserve or even downtown fountain to pose with your partner. Water features make for excellent backdrops, especially when the sun goes down and the lights dance on the water just right.

Piggyback rides are a super easy and cute way to embrace your partner, show your intimacy with one another — and also crack a laugh! Go for a kiss on the cheek for a super cute shot.

We'll cross that bridge when we get to it... for our engagement photoshoot! The stonework and sheer heights of bridges, not to mention if they hold historical or geographical significance to you, makes for great, iconic engagement shots.

If there's an indoor or outdoor location with architecture that just calls to you, then hit the catwalk as a couple! If you live in a location with a historic landmark or love visiting a local museum, get dressed to the nines and use that spot as your backdrop.

Everyone knows you can't go wrong with a field of flowers, and if you're the kind of couple that likes to say, "you are my sunshine," a field of sunflowers sounds like the perfect fit. (Especially if you grab some golden hour shots.)

Maybe there’s a beautiful hiking trail where you had your first kiss, or perhaps there’s a cute cafe where you first met. Whatever your place is, choose that as your backdrop for a beautiful and memorable engagement photo shoot.

If you have children, they deserve to be included in this special moment. This is a great way to show everyone how important your little family is to you.

The thing that made you fall in love with them in the first place was their sense of humor, so be sure to show that in your photos. Don’t be afraid to take some goofy pictures that will make you and your S.O. smile, laugh and fall in love all over again.

Natural greens and florals can serve as an amazing setting for photos. The natural light will bring out the shine in your blowout. And if you live somewhere cold or rainy, this is a great option for staying dry and warm during the photo session.

You may have a third love in your relationship and that third member walks on four legs and has a lot of fur. Bring your pet in on the photoshoot for some adorable moments.

Even if you have to drive to find the perfect backdrop, mountainous pictures will be a timeless addition to your photo selection.

Choose your best and most *extra* outfits to celebrate. A photo shoot with you and your significant other dressing to the nines make for some super memorable pictures.

If your personality is chill and low-key, then don’t do anything that makes you feel out of place. Go for something understated and let your love do all the talking.

Sometimes all you need is a simple photo of you and your love’s happy faces. Don’t worry about getting the perfect backdrop. Just choose the best picture that shows how happy the two of you are.

There is nothing more romantic than a walk along a shoreline. Find a beach or a lake where you can snap some photos of the two of you walking barefoot. Take a moment to play and run through the water for some beautiful candids.

They say that home is where the heart is, so try a home photo shoot. Cuddle up on the couch or hang out around a backyard fire pit for cute, casual pics. 

Nothing is more romantic than a light snowfall in the winter. If you live in a place where it snows (or even if you don’t), take some time for a winter snow photo shoot. You’ll love the romantic lighting and beautiful pictures.

For vibrant engagement photos, wear colors that coordinate with your scenery. Pro tip: Consider matching your engagement shoot colors with your wedding colors for on-point invitations.

Find some city backdrops for your city photo shoot. Graffiti and a bit of grit make crisp, formal outfits look that much cooler.

Stumped on a setting? Go classic with a romantic field photo shoot. Channel your inner Jane Austen with a walk through tall grass, holding your love’s hand.

Nothing is more classic than a studio photo shoot. The natural lighting and stark colors will create a classy, modern vibe.

Get ready to be inspired with these crazy creative photo op ideas for your engagement pics.

21 Unique Engagement Photo Ideas 2022 - Unique Engagement Pictures

Thanksgiving is all about food and family — and, of course, being grateful. But aside from splitting the wishbone and fighting over the remnants of the gravy boat, there’s a lot of downtime before and after the feast. You don't sit and eat the whole day (even though it may feel like it). After the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and before all the dishes, there's plenty of things for your family to do together. Your table is filled with so many goodies that make for super convenient Thanksgiving photo props — you'll feel like you’re starring in your very own Hallmark holiday movie. This holiday, as you plan for your (hopefully annual) Thanksgiving photoshoot, try easy DIY props that'll take your family pictures (and the bloopers) to the next level this fall.

And after all that time spent on playing football outside or perfecting the art of the turkey craft, it's no wonder your camera roll is filled with cute shots of your family in coordinating outfits (and all those pies you baked with your little ones!). Don't let those pics get lost in your phone, print them in a holiday-inspired photo book, or hang them on your wall with Canvas Wall Tiles. And if you love saving your favorite memories from every month, print 30 pictures each month with a Monthbooks subscription.

Your kids will have so much fun playing with these fall-themed cut-outs. As a bonus, you can use these props as decorations for your table for your Thanksgiving celebrations!

Want to add a sweet message to your family photo so that you can use it as your fall photo book cover? Try using a Thanksgiving banner that you can hold up with your family. This is a simple and easy prop that you can find or make.

Is there anything cuter than a baby in a turkey hat? As you are considering your Thanksgiving photoshoot this year, find and collect all things turkey to use as props. Wear turkey-printed shirts, prop up turkeys in your living room or simply let your little ones play with turkey toys!

Get some variety into your Thanksgiving photos with a chalkboard that you can write different messages on! You can either buy a small chalkboard or DIY one with chalkboard paint. Use red, orange and yellow chalk to write out your message of thanks or to draw pretty leaves.

A classic prop for the fall season is corn. Opt to use dried corn for a pretty and traditional photoshoot prop. Consider glamming it up with some glitter and glue if you want some *extra* family photos this year.

If you have a new baby, snap some photos of them sleeping on a bale of hay. If you have young kids, get them sitting together side-by-side with some flannel shirts on. Adorable!

Pumpkins make for great DIY photo booth props because of the bright colors and varieties that you can find. Set up a sitting area with a pile of gourds and snap away!

Thanksgiving is the perfect time to incorporate fall leaves into your stunning family photos. Take advantage of the brightly-colored foliage and use it as a prop for your photoshoot. You can take the family outside and photograph them playing in the leaves or drape your littles in some faux fall leaf garlands for a super cute shoot.

Fall is the best time of year because of one thing and one thing only: LAYERS! Nothing better than scarves on sweaters on scarves. Grab some cozy blankets and your best sweaters for a cozy family photoshoot. Get everyone bundled in a cozy, neutral color palette (using lots of whites, beiges and greys) and set up your photoshoot on the couch. Bonus points if you can incorporate faux fur pillows and throws!

It’s never too early for snow when it comes to the holiday spirit. If you live somewhere where snow likes to come a little early, use it to your advantage by taking some beautiful winter-themed photos with the icy landscape as your prop.

A great way to really amp up your Thanksgiving photoshoot is to include your dining table laden with delicious food in the picture. Want an out-of-the-box Thanksgiving photoshoot? Use food as a live action prop during an outdoor food fight!

You’ll gobble up these adorable photoshoot accessories.

Sometimes it feels like the year truly begins and ends with the school year. And with every new school year comes the time-honored tradition: school photos. There’s something so exciting about seeing a new school portrait of your child — but not necessarily writing the check for those beauties and the magnets their grandparents just have to have. If you’re having trouble figuring out how to display your new fave photo or what to do with your old school pictures that have been languishing in the closet, we’ve got some ideas for you.

And you don’t have to choose just one! Between adding them to your Monthbooks subscription or Yearbook for safe keeping, and creating Canvas Wall Tiles to deck your walls, your kids’ school photos can be displayed in a bunch of different ways for your family to enjoy. Remembering these moments (whether they’re smiling at the camera or not), is part of what makes these pictures so special. Here’s how you can save and display these cherished school photos…

P.S. Try these creative school picture day outfits for memorable photos!

Make sure your kids’ school pictures are the first thing visitors notice when they walk through your door. Add their school portrait to the cover of a Monthbook or Classic Book, then display the cover for an easy, personalized piece of decor.

Well known for their dark backgrounds, help your kids’ school pictures pop by displaying them against a contrasting color (whether that’s a brightly painted wall or funky furniture piece).

Keep your kids’ photos in a place both family and guests gather... at the kitchen counter! Your photos will be front and center, plus guests can flip through your other special and everyday memories. 

Line up your Monthbooks on the shelf, then turn the cover that features your kid’s school picture outward. This way, everyone can marvel at your on-point design skills and comment on how your kids’ school photos pair so well with all your reading material.

Give your kids’ school pics an effortless look by staging your photo books inside a wicker basket or bowl that’s kept on a coffee table or ottoman. Their portraits will act as chic, eye-catching pieces.

There’s no better way to display those beginning-of-the-school-year smiles than by proudly showcasing their photos on the cover of a Monthbook. Place the Monthbook at the top of the stack so that their smiles, and your photo book spines, are on-point.

Whether you lean them against a vase or holiday decor, proudly turn your Monthbook covers outward, and make your kids’ school photos a statement piece by lining them up on your mantle (aka a spot where everyone’s eye gravitates).

Using Canvas Wall Tiles, show off all your kids’ school photos with a gallery wall (which is also great for showing off your kids’ school photos throughout the years). If you don’t want to create a gallery wall, try adding Wall Tiles to the wall adjacent to your staircase, in an ascending fashion.

Whether you have a home office or one you commute to, keep the kids close by hanging your favorite photos of them. (Pro tip: Hang their Wall Tiles on the space behind you and they’ll be your permanent Zoom background). 

Add their school pics to your family’s Yearbook so that whenever your family looks back at another incredible year, you won’t forget the beautiful, hilarious and absolutely adorable school photos your kids took (and cry over how much they’ve grown!). Plus, school photos symbolize the start of a new year of classes, extracurriculars and growth spurts — perfect for capturing in a Yearbook.

New year, new school photos. Here’s how you can style your kids’ school portraits around your home.

School photos: Aside from purchasing a crazy amount of copies for grandma, these annual pictures symbolize the start of a new year and show just how much our kids have grown. Old school pictures might be the photos we look at the most (and spend the most money on!), which is why it’s so important to find creative ways to showcase them. These are the best ways to display school photos at home and to get the most out of old school photos.

If you're someone who's itching for a weekend at the pumpkin patch right as August turns to September, who could blame you? When it comes to the autumn, it's all about fun family activities like hayrides and haunted drive-thru events to apple picking and trips to the local costume shop. There's so much to do, you need two whole moments to cram all those moments in!

And whether you're thinking about your holiday card super early, or just picking your favorite season for family photos, there's always one great spot for fall pics: a pumpkin patch photoshoot at a local farm. Using cute Halloween props, plenty of flannel and some funny poses, you can nail incredible fall photos for free by just using the camera on your phone! Don’t be spooked, just bring a tripod. 

And after all that time spent coordinating your pumpkin patch photoshoot, it's no wonder your camera roll is filled with cute shots of your family in flannel (and all those pumpkins you posed with). Don't let those pics get lost in your phone, print them in a fall-inspired photo book, or hang them on your wall with Canvas Wall Tiles. And if you love saving your favorite memories from every month, print 30 pictures each month with a Monthbooks subscription.

The best part of going to any pumpkin patch is picking out your favorite pumpkin to bring home with you. This might be a gourd of your choosing for decor, carving or eating. Whatever it may be, snap an adorable photo of the picking process.

Your local pumpkin patch is unique and different from any pumpkin patch out there, so be sure to find some of those unique aesthetics to add to your photos. Snap photos of the ambiance and props that may be sprinkled throughout the pumpkin display to really set the scene. And let the vibe of a filter inform what you capture. If your filter plays up contrast, snap white and orange pumpkins together. If your filter has a sepia tone, look for cool color to break through the tonal wash.

Once you’ve gone through your picking process, show off your favorite pumpkin in the patch! Hold the pumpkin in a unique way, have your child hold it up proudly or do a close up of your pick. For added interest, play around with the biggest pumpkin you can find. This will add some fun elements of scale to your photo.

Often, a pumpkin patch comes with a local market full of the fall’s harvest. Take a few photos to remember the day’s activities with your friends and family.

During your pumpkin patch photoshoot, take some wide shots of the whole patch, and grab a few pictures of the farm’s signage. These shots are great for adding to an album as a way to remember and honor your local businesses.

Going to the pumpkin patch is a great family activity, especially if you have littles! Be sure to take photos of your family laughing and having a great time together.

Line up some pumpkins for a super cute photo op. Choose one pumpkin per family member and create a line up as a pseudo family photo.

Drinking hot chocolate, eating donuts and spending time together are some of the best parts of the fall festivities. Be sure to capture those awesome candid moments with your loved ones.

The best part of any day at the local pumpkin patch is seeing your little ones enjoy themselves among the rows of gourds. Don’t forget to take some adorable shots of your children as they are experiencing the magic and wonder of the autumn season. If you had friends or neighbors tag along, snap a big group shot.

This activity is also a great time for a family photo. If your whole family is able to come together, grab a few family photos of you dressed in your fall best. Pumpkins and hay make for some of the best colors to really make your family photos pop.

Want a slightly different look for your pumpkin patch photoshoot? Take shots on the hayride! The neutral colors of the hay may for a great cozy background, and you’ll capture so many natural smiles and giggles while the ride is in process.

If your local pumpkin patch has a corn maze, be sure to take the whole family along for an exciting adventure. This will bring a smile to your children’s faces and is sure to be the highlight of the day.

You’ll want to print these epic photos!

Looking for a way to step up your fall photography game? Take your family to the local pumpkin patch and use these creative pumpkin patch photoshoot ideas to really make your photos next-level.

The holidays are all about family, but Thanksgiving is the BIG one. If you've got exciting and special news to share on the big day, and you’re looking for a creative Thanksgiving pregnancy announcement ideas to announce that yours is expanding, we got you! These fall-themed pregnancy announcements are simple and super fun to plan with your partner. Since this will be a holiday to remember, you might want to put your phone on a timer to take tons of photos of your friends and family's reactions. (Oh, and use these pregnancy and milestone printables to keep track of every first!)

And after all that time spent on both the holiday and your big announcement, it's no wonder your camera roll is filled with cute shots of your family jumping for joy. Don't let those pics get lost in your phone, print them in a holiday-inspired photo book, or hang them on your wall with Canvas Wall Tiles. You’ll want to catch those tears of joy and hugs in photos and videos you can hold onto forever — and to show your baby in a few years — so don’t forget to print your pics in a Monthbook so you can chronicle baby’s life from pregnancy through birth. 

Say “I’m pregnant!” with your Thanksgiving dinner place settings. Draw baby chicks onto eggs with each dinner guest’s name and place them around the table. Then add some tiny feathers and any other customizations you think will hint at your surprise. See how long it takes for your family to put the pieces together!

Order a custom jigsaw puzzle that announces you’re expecting and includes your due date for your family to assemble and decode on Thanksgiving. Be sure to add seasonal images like pumpkins and leaves so it’s not too easy for them to put together!

Before your guests arrive, create your own decorative wreath that can lay flat on the table (this way, you can also take a photo if you’d like to post your announcement online, as well). Place any garlands, autumn leaves, mini gourds and pumpkins or even little blocks that spell out baby. Add an ultrasound photo to the middle (or at the bottom of the wreath so you can add text, like the baby’s due date, before posting online). See how long it takes for your family to discover!

If your family says a blessing before digging into dinner, this is a great way to slip in your pregnancy announcement! If you or your partner (or someone else you trust) opts to lead the blessing, list a bunch of things you’re grateful for and then add a line about blessing your family as it continues to grow, especially the family member joining in March (or whichever month baby is due).

If you don’t have the crafting finesse to make one yourself, order an embroidery that can be given as a gift (and even hung on the wall) with your big announcement. If you can, order an embroidery of your ultrasound picture!

Visit a store like Build-a-Bear, or find a company that makes stuffed animals that play sounds, and if you have it, add the sound of baby’s heartbeat from your ultrasound. Have the bear on the table as part of the decor (bonus points if they’re in a Thanksgiving outfit) and ask one of your guests to squeeze the bear for a surprise. See how long it takes for them to figure out what the bear is telling them! And even better, you have your child’s first stuffed animal.

Once you know how many guests will be at your table, print the same number of storks and Thanksgiving turkey images. Tape or glue the turkeys onto the sack the stork holds in its mouth, then write your baby’s due date on the turkey. Hide the images under everyone’s plates and wait to see if someone discovers it! If they haven’t figured it out before dinner, tell everyone there’s a surprise under their plates and film their reactions.

You can’t go wrong with a t-shirt that spells it out for everyone. Choose cute Thanksgiving wordplay like “Pumpkin pie for two, please!” that’ll catch everyone’s eye when they walk through the door.

Use little boxes or gift bags, whichever you have on hand, and add a little note that mentions a special gift that’s on the way. Include a cute little cut out of a turkey or piece of pie with a pacifier — and don’t forget to add the due date!

If you have a chalkboard or letterboard you can display, this is a super easy way to tell people (and celebrate). Write something clever like, “eating for two” and if you have an ultrasound photo, place or hang it next to the display so guests can get their first glimpse of baby.

Under the guise of playing a fun game, hand out Thanksgiving-themed scratch-offs that tease a prize. Have all your guests start the scratch-off at the same time only to discover a “We’re Pregnant!” announcement under the last shape they scratch.

Whether your beverage of choice is wine, beer, or seltzer, customize the labels for the drinks at the table (“Look what we brewed!”) and set them on the dinner table for your guests to discover.

Before Thanksgiving dinner this year, have everyone at the table write down what they’re thankful for, then fold it in half. Write down your pregnancy announcement on a card, then place all the notes in a bowl and each person at the table can pull one out by random and read it to the table. You’ll surprise everyone when your card is read!

Place a bunch of buns on a tray in the oven, along with a picture of your ultrasound (when the oven is no longer hot). Then, when your guests are in the kitchen, ask one of them to pull the tray out and film everyone’s reactions as they each figure it out.

If you already have a child, dress them in a shirt that says “big brother,” “big sister” or even something like “big turkey, little turkey on the way” and snap a picture of your family’s reactions.

Take a picture of you, your partner and any kids you may already have wearing shirts with funny sayings like, “The turkey ain’t the only thing in the oven,” “I put the turkey in the oven” and “I’m the original turkey!”

After you’ve shared with your close friends and family (and you’re ready to share with the rest of the world), purchase a digital, editable Thanksgiving pregnancy announcement. This way, you don’t need to worry about capturing the perfect photo to announce your little one.

Combine shopping for your baby and finding a cute announcement in one purchase: a onesie! Find a cute Thanksgiving-themed onesie (“We’re extra grateful this year”) and find an excuse to gift it to someone at the dinner table (like mom for helping you prepare this year’s feast). You’ll get tears of joy and your first piece of clothing for baby!

Before you bake (or buy!) your Thanksgiving pie, put your announcement on the bottom of the pie dish. (The easiest way to do this may be to create your own paper announcement, add it to the bottom of the dish, then place a store-bought dessert on top.) Your big news will be revealed slice by slice!

Is it really Thanksgiving if someone doesn’t stand from the table and declare they have a food baby? Turn that holiday saying on its head and show up wearing a shirt that says, “It’s not a food baby” — or wait until someone says the words, then reveal your shirt!

Do you have a beloved dog or cat? Wrap a bandana around their neck so every time guests arrive and your furry baby greets them, they can read the news for themselves!

Make copies of your ultrasound — because you know everyone will want their own to hang on the fridge — and hide them underneath each of the chairs at the table. Before you start dinner, thank everyone for coming and tell them you’ve hidden a surprise under each of their chairs to thank them for coming. Don’t forget to film their reactions!

If you don’t want to beat around the bush, lay a card announcing your pregnancy on top of each place setting! If you want to make them work for it, give them a card with a crossword or word search and see if they can figure it out.

On top of your Thanksgiving dessert, add frosting with words announcing you’re pregnant and the baby’s due date — just be sure to keep the top hidden until it’s time to serve! Watch everyone’s faces light up as they read the news. 

Add a not-so-subtle decal to your pumpkins so your friends and family can see your announcement right as they walk through the door. They’ll be jumping up and down before they hit the kitchen!

If you want to see some tears of joy, these are the best ways to surprise your family with the good news!

Looking to surprise your family with news of your pregnancy this fall? This Thanksgiving, let your guests know your family is expanding with these fun and clever autumnal pregnancy announcement ideas. Don’t forget, you’ll want to take plenty of photos of their reactions so you can save the memories (and print them in a photo book)! These are the best Thanksgiving pregnancy announcement ideas (including shirts, pumpkins, dogs, big brothers and big sisters and more) for friends and family members.

Make bats out of black construction paper

This classic and timeless Halloween craft is sure to grab everyone’s attention. Not to mention the fact that it’s an easy craft to get your kids involved in. Cut paper bats out of black construction paper and tape them all over your door, entry way, bathroom wall, or on an empty wall in your house as a simple backdrop that you will want to recreate year after year. Get ready to snap away!

Create a starry night backdrop with a full moon and stars galore. For this simple craft, use poster board or construction paper to cut out your starry shapes and tape, staple, or glue them to an old sheet or curtain. If the full moon isn’t reading on camera for you, a crescent moon also does the job. Add some candles and pumpkins for the full effect. 

Paper chains are most often used as a countdown to Christmas but why not use them as a fun, festive Halloween backdrop. Another perfect opportunity to get your kids involved in the decorating process, have them cut strips of orange and black paper and link chain after chain. You can drape these horizontally across your wall in fun patterns or you can just hang a bunch of chains from the ceiling and shoot your shot.

Use your Christmas decorations for Halloween

Use white Christmas lights to spell “BOO” in cursive across your wall! If you don’t have lights, you can use yarn, or shoe laces. Use push pins or tape to secure them for a beyond easy DIY photobooth. This will be such a fun sign/backdrop that you may end up using it for other holidays! Consider using “Merry” during Christmas and “Love” during Valentine’s day. 

Perhaps the easiest set up and take down of all of these backdrop ideas: creating a web out of tape for your wall. Using white masking tape, stick 7 strips of tape to your wall in a star shape.Then add strips in between to create your web. Feel free to add paper spiders with googly eyes to make your photobooth backdrop look even spookier!

Orange is the new black. Make sure you get both orange and black streamers that you can hang over one of the walls in your house as the perfect photo booth backdrop. Not only is it simple, it’s so darn cute. Your kids will be so excited to pose for you (fingers crossed!). 

Stack your hay bails on either side of your photo backdrop so that your kids and guests can sit on them. Add pumpkins of varying sizes to the ground, and on a few of the hay bails. Have some straw and cowboy hats available as perfect Halloween props for everyone!

Whether you’re going for vampire vibes or just want to add a little chill to your Halloween, this fang wall backdrop is perfect for you! Using a black curtain and white poster board, you can whip this together faster than you can say “boo!”. This will be a Halloween backdrop that will live on for years to come. 

Is there anything more eerie than seeing strands of caution tape? Consider hanging loads of caution tape all over your wall of choice. Make it even more creepy by adding painters tape on top of the caution tape in the shape of a body. It’s like a crime scene for your wall that is sure to make your models squeal! 

Balloon arches have been all the rage the last couple of years and surprisingly, they’re easier to make than you would expect. Consider using an array of orange colored balloons to create an ombre effect, stick with black and grey for a darker feel, or use white to create a ghost effect. You can find a balloon arch tutorial here.

Design a backdrop that says: I’m watching you!

Googly eyes may be the best all around Halloween decor ever. They’re perfect for making anything look a little extra spooky while also adding a total cuteness factor. Decorate the walls with googly eyes, hang some from the ceiling or glue some to pumpkins, paper bats, and masks! Go all out with the googly eyes and let your kids get creative! 

The $4 cobweb packs at Target always seem to come in clutch when Halloween rolls around. They make the perfect porch decor but also could make the perfect backdrop for your home. Using a darker colored wall will make the webs pop against the background. Be sure to add a few plastic spiders into the cob webs!

Streamers may be the most versatile party decor item EVER. There are so many ways to use streamers, the options honestly are endless. One of the simplest (and cutest) ways is to hang them to simply tape one end to the top or bottom of the wall, twist the streamer 10+ times and then tape the other end. You can also hang them so that they are horizontal to the ceiling and floor!

If this wall doesn’t get you ready for Halloween, I don’t know what will! This simple, darling Halloween backdrop is easy to make, easy to clean up (double win!) and SO cheap. Using a few plastic tablecloths, some plastic fencing, and a hot glue gun — you can make this masterpiece come to life!

A classic fall picture involves hay bales and corn stalks, so be sure to incorporate these props into your Halloween photoshoot. Wondering where you can get your hands on these items? Hay bales and corn are available at most garden centers after September 1.

Wanna know what’s sweeter than candy corn? Your precious baby in a candy corn colored outfit surrounded by sweets. Opt for a yellow shirt, orange pants and white socks or shoes for the cutest photo op you ever did see.

Fall leaves are the perfect prop for your family photoshoot. Place your newborn’s bassinet on a pretty pile of leaves in the yard and snuggle your little inside with a textured blanket for some crazy cute fall photos. Not happy with the quality of your fallen yard leaves? Buy a few bags of artificial fall leaves and reuse them for your annual fall photos.

Use those gourds to your advantage by putting your baby inside a big pumpkin, playing with a jack-o-lantern or simply surrounded by a bunch of tiny pumpkins.


Keep it spooky and sweet with a black cat inspired photoshoot. Find a hat or headband adorned with cat ears and dress your little one in a black outfit for a purr-fect shot.

If you’re already planning a family costume, take some time to snap adorable photos of your baby in their costume while playing with their siblings or eating a tasty Halloween treat! If you don’t want to worry about nailing the perfect shot on actual Halloween night, have a dress rehearsal day where everyone gets to try on their costumes together to see how they fit and use that time to snap more staged photos.

Halloween is the perfect time to pull out those Pinterest-worthy fall outfits you’ve been waiting to wear all year long. For a more chill photoshoot, dress your baby in a snuggly beanie or cap for a cute, casual picture.

Take your fall plaid obsession to the next level with matching flannel shirts for you and your baby. This twinning, mommy-and-me look is bound to create some awesome photo ops.

A fun and trendy photo idea is to take your kids to a local pumpkin patch and take some photos in the corn maze. As an added bonus, the kids will be entertained for hours as they play!

10 Totally Cute Baby Halloween Photoshoot Ideas

Baby Halloween Photoshoot Ideas - Newborn Halloween Photoshoot

What's cuter than a picture of a baby inside a Thanksgiving cornucopia? A baby dressed as a turkey! When it comes to your baby, there’s nothing in this world that’s cuter than your little marshmallow. Your little one's first year — and first holiday season — goes by in the blink of an eye, which is why you take a million photos of them every day. If you’re already thinking about a Thanksgiving photo op for your cutie or just looking for creative ways to celebrate baby’s first Thanksgiving, don’t worry about brainstorming cute ideas — we found the best Thanksgiving photoshoot ideas for babies this year!

And after all that time spent decorating and cooking, it's no wonder your camera roll is filled with cute shots of your family in coordinating outfits (and pictures of all those pies you spent hours baking). Don't let those pics get lost in your phone, print them in a holiday-inspired photo book, or hang them on your wall with Canvas Wall Tiles. And if you love saving your favorite memories from every month, print 30 pictures each month with a Monthbooks subscription.

‘Tis the season for photos filled with pumpkins! Find a pumpkin big enough to fit your little one, then carve out the middle and all that goo (or opt for a hollowed out fake pumpkin). Once it’s dry, place baby inside, either awake or asleep, for a super cute photo. Bonus points if you carve a jack-o-lantern that lets your baby’s feet stick out! 

Instead of placing your baby in a pile of fall leaves (which is super cute), try a pose that doesn’t require them to sit up — or even wear clothes! Place baby on a blanket on the grass, or indoors if that’s more comfortable, and place multi-colored autumn leaves around their body. Then, strategically hold one leaf in front of the camera (so it covers their diaper and makes it appear like baby’s naked) for an adorable seasonal photo.

If you have a cornucopia that’s just waiting to sit on your dinner table, it’s the perfect place for the thing you’re most thankful for: your infant! With baby on the table, gently insert their legs and wiggle the cornucopia up until it reaches just under their arms (or as far as the decor will allow). Spread tiny pumpkins, unlit candles, place settings and even Thanksgiving food around their body before taking a picture. Bet you want to take a bite of those cheeks!

Using colored paper or felt (whatever materials you have at home) cut the shape of a turkey gobbler, feathers, pumpkins, the sun, grass, and any other shapes to help you create your scene. Then, lay baby on the table, place the gobbler on their chest and fan the feathered shape behind them so they look like a little turkey. Place your outdoor shapes around your cute mini turkey and snap a pic! 

Pick someone to hold baby on their lap after Thanksgiving dinner, whether that’s a parent, grandparent, or sibling, and hold up the turkey wishbone so that your little one wraps their fist around one side. Then, have whoever is holding them pull the other end and see who comes out victorious! Make sure to snap a photo before the pulling begins, during the wrestle and of the outcome.

If baby can’t sit up on their own, place them in a chair that’ll support them (or in the lap of a sibling) for this shot. After setting up a tripod or wrangling a second set of hands, pick up a pile of leaves and toss them in the air over and around your little one, making sure that they’re looking up and following the motion. This is the perfect time to snap a pic and catch a look of wonderment on their face!

Who doesn’t love a good cake smash? Here’s a simple way to make it seasonal: After placing your baby in their high chair, put a pumpkin pie with whipped cream on the tray and watch them get to work. This also works with a plate full of Thanksgiving leftovers!

Before you start cooking Thanksgiving dinner, pull out your biggest pot (one that your baby can sit in) and arrange all your ingredients around your cookware. Then, gently place your little one inside the pot and hand them something to hold, like a carrot or a spoon (something that they can’t accidentally swallow and is okay for them to put in their mouth). Bonus points if you have a mini chef hat or apron for them to wear. 

With baby safely in a bath seat (and always supervised), fill the sink or tub with water until it covers part of their body. Then, add a little bit of milk to the water, just until you get a milky layer on top. Then, add mini pumpkins, apples and other seasonal food and items that can float for a bath time filled with Thanksgiving tradition.

Fill a crate with hay (or opt for a hay bale) and lay a similarly colored blanket or faux fur on the top, then lay your sleeping baby down. Wrap the baby in a brown or orange blanket (and maybe add a cozy hat!) before placing pumpkins, corn, apples and vegetables around the crate. Bonus points if you add stuffed animals that may be found on the farm.

This one’s for all the candy corn lovers turned parents! Find a glass jar that’s big enough to fit your sleeping infant (and wrap a cute ribbon around it, if you have one), then fill it a third of the way with candy corn. Gently fit your sleeping baby inside the jar, and while you’re holding them, have another set of hands sprinkle the rest of the candy corn around your baby until their body is supported. Lean baby on their side so a hand is between their head and the glass jar for support, too. Place seasonal decor, like pumpkins, on the sides and sprinkle some extra candy corn in front for a tasty photo!

One of the most iconic parts of Thanksgiving? The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade! Blow up a few balloons, tie some string around them, then tie those strings to fluffy scrunchies you can roll around your baby’s tiny arms (this way, there’s nothing too tight around them). Bonus points if you attach them to balloons in the same shapes as characters also in the parade!

Just when you thought they couldn’t get any cuter!

Your infant is the most precious person in the world — not to mention, the cutest. If you’re looking for genius Thanksgiving photoshoot ideas for babies you can do at home (so you don’t need to search for in-person photo spots near you), try these newborn photography shots inspired by the holiday. You just have to celebrate baby’s first Thanksgiving with a bunch of pictures. Don’t forget to print all those memories in a Monthbook photo book!
