When planning a magical photoshoot for your child, choosing the perfect theme is key. Here are 5 steps to help you to select a fantasy theme that will make your child’s photo something truly enchanting.
Step 1 – Imagination
Let your imagination run wild. Think about your child’s favourite stories and dreams. Are they fascinated by unicorns, pirates, mermaids or superheroes? Encourage their imagination and involve them in choosing something they really love. After all, it’s their magical world we’re diving into!
Step 2 – Inspiration
Take some time to have a look at the Three Hearts Photography website, Facebook and Instagram pages to see some of the beautiful and magical themes we have available. This is merely a starting ground for you to choose from. I have so many more designs and themes for you to choose from. As we begin to plan your session, we will discuss what you want and I will be able to guide you in choosing the best theme for your child.
Step 3 – Colours and Rainbows!
Think about the colours your child loves and what will look good in your child’s bedroom, (or wherever you plan to display your photo). Does your child love pink, purple, blue, green? Do you want something colourful? Sometimes the theme you choose will determine the colours that will make up your photo, but there are always different elements that we can add in to ensure your photo is personalized to your child.
Step 4 – Dress the Part
Clothes and costumes are the heart and soul of any magical photo, so it’s time to dress the part. In discussion with Julie, your creative portrait photographer, we will find an outfit that will align with your chosen theme. This may be one of our costumes, a costume from home, or clothes from home that will best compliment your Creative Photo.
My top tips for choosing your outfits from home are outlined in the Welcome Guide you receive when you book your creative photo session. However, the main thing to remember, is that you choose plain solid colours for your child to wear so that they stand out from the busyness of the creative portrait.
Step 5 – Bring on the Magic!
The final step in choosing your magical theme is to talk with your photographer, Julie, about any props or special items that you want to include in your photo. This may be a special toy, a beach towel and a sand bucket or even a skateboard. It may be something we include in your photo during editing, like a butterfly, which has a special meaning to your child or family, a monkey, because your child loves everything monkeys, or anything that will make it even more special for you and your child.
Choosing a fantasy theme for your child’s creative photo, is an opportunity to create memories that will last a lifetime and capture something unique and special for your child, that no-one else has.
By following these 5 steps and planning out your session with Julie, you will be ready for a photo that will transport your child to a world where dreams come true.
So, get ready to capture your kiddos spirit and dreams and let their imagination soar as they step into this amazing new world of wonder and magic.
