If the Easter bunny dropped off more than eggs at your house this year, then you may be looking for some cute baby’s first Easter photo inspo on the ‘gram. Whether you want to grab a white sheet, colorful eggs, and your baby boy (or girl) and have your own in home easter baby photoshoot or call in your family photographer, as theCityMoms resident photographer, I’m here to give you some DIY photoshoot tips and ideas to make it extra special.
Here are a few Easter Photoshoot Ideas for Babies:
1. Put Those Plastic Eggs to Use
How cute is Baby F popping out of a giant Easter egg? You can easily replicate this idea at home with your phone. Just make sure to keep your hand holding the real eggs (or plastic ones!) extended out so both the eggshells and your babe are in focus.
Tip: Have a family member or your significant other take the photo while you hold the eggs - it makes capturing the cute photos sooooo much easier.
2. The Cutest Easter Egg Hunt Ever
If your baby is already sitting up, put them in a cute basket and surround them with white eggs on green grass. Let them play with the eggs and capture those candid shots. Maybe even add a flower crown or bunny ears like @kylasieges did. We’re obsessed.
Tip: The best time for an outdoor Easter photoshoot is in the morning when kids are happiest and the natural light is soft.
3. Book a Professional Studio Session
If you’re scheduling an Easter family photo shoot with a professional photographer (hello, milestone sessions… not sure what I’m talking about? Then check out this newborn photoshoot article), save this image by @jackie.o.photos for inspiration. The softest baby bunny outfit paired with adorable baby rolls is too sweet to resist.
Tip: If you want Easter photography done professionally, book your photo session in advance so you’re on their calendar.

4. DIY Easter Baby Photo Shoot for Socials
If you prefer to keep your baby’s face off social media but still want to celebrate their first Easter, focus on their cute little bunny feet surrounded by decorative eggs. Another great idea is a knitted bunny costume with a fluffy tail while your baby lays on a soft blanket for a simple Easter photo.
We love this sweet outfit set on Amazon!
5. Nursery Photoshoot Fun
Your nursery can make for the most adorable backdrop. You spent so much time decorating it, so why not use it for an Easter baby photo shoot? We love how @ange_mcfarlane incorporated different shades of pastels and a sweet stuffed bunny into their photos.
6. Add Fresh Flowers for a Pop of Color
Plastic Easter eggs aren’t the only festive prop—consider using fresh flowers like tulips or daisies. We love how @miriamvstrand included florals in their spring photos for an extra adorable look.
Bonus Tip: You can press the flowers into a frame along with your baby’s footprint for a keepsake to cherish for a couple years (or forever).
