Springtime brings fresh beginnings, nicer weather, and possibilities for family portraits. This season is a great time to capture sweet sibling photos. If you’re looking for ideas, we’ve got you covered. These are adorable spring-themed sibling photo ideas, from pretty pastels to fun floral arrangements.
It’s that time of year again. The weather is getting warmer, and the flowers are starting to bloom. This is the perfect time to take some sibling photos. To get you started, here are some ten ideas:
Flower Portraits
If you’re looking to take some sibling photos this spring, one great option is to do flower portraits. This can be a fun and unique way to capture the bond between siblings, and it also makes for some beautiful photos.

Find a spot in your yard or local park with plenty of flowers in bloom. Then, have your siblings stand or sit together in the middle of the flowers and snap away. You can even get creative with it and have them hold hands, blow kisses, or give each other hugs.
If you want to take things one step further, you can also try doing a themed shoot. For example, you could have your siblings dress up in all white and take photos against a backdrop like the Kate Honeycomb Backdrop Yellow Spring. You could also have them wear colorful clothes and do a black and white flower portrait.
Gazing at the Scenery
One of the best things about spring is that the weather finally starts to cooperate. No more bundling up in coats and scarves. Take advantage of the warmer temps and beautiful scenery by scheduling a spring sibling photo session outdoors. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Gazing at the Scenery: Pick a spot with a breathtaking view and let the siblings soak it in. Use a telephoto lens to capture them looking off into the distance.
Golden Hour: The hour before sunset is often called “golden hour” because of the beautiful, warm light. This is an ideal time for photos, so take advantage of it. Have the siblings sit or stand close together and snap away.

In the Garden: If you have access to a pretty garden, take advantage of it. Have the siblings smell the flowers, run through the grass, or chase each other around. The options are endless – and so are the photo opportunities.
April Showers
April showers can be fun to play around with, and there are so many creative ways to incorporate them into your photos. One way is to have the siblings stand under an umbrella or in the rain while holding umbrellas over their heads. You can also use props like rain boots, raincoats, and umbrellas to add a fun and festive touch.
Lastly, don’t forget about the background. A rainy day can make for some stunning photos with all the different colors and textures. You can also use the rain to find creative locations like under a bridge or in front of a waterfall.

Shoot the Process of Cooking Food
Capturing the process of cooking food can be a great way to get some enjoyable and natural photos of siblings interacting with each other. It also allows you to capture candid moments that you might not otherwise get. Lastly, it’s just a lot of fun.
We always have a great time when we’re shooting the process of cooking food. We love to capture the laughter, the spills, the messes, and little moments that make up this special time. And of course, don’t forget about the food. The finished product always makes for a great photo.
A Holiday Picnic in Spring
What could be more perfect than a picnic to celebrate the warmer weather and blossoming flowers of spring? A sibling photoshoot is an ideal opportunity to document this particular time for your family. Here are some tips to ensure your spring sibling’s photoshoot is a success.
Planning is key for any successful photoshoot, especially when working with young children. Make sure to choose a comfortable location for everyone with plenty of space to run around. A nearby park or your backyard are both great options.

Once you have the perfect location picked out, it’s time to start thinking about what to wear. Springtime colors are always a good choice, and pastels are trendy this time of year. But ultimately, you want everyone to be comfortable in what they’re wearing so that they can relax and have fun.
Props can add an extra special touch to your spring siblings’ photo shoot. Flowers, balloons, and even cute Easter baskets make great props that will get everyone in the holiday spirit. Just be sure not to use too many props, as you don’t want them to take away from the photo’s focus, the siblings.
Shoot the Process of Painting
One great way to make use of all that springtime color is to capture your siblings in painting a picture together. This could be done either digitally or with traditional paint and paper. If you go the digital route, make sure to capture some close-ups of the painting itself and some shots of your siblings concentrating on their work. You could even have your siblings dress up in paint-splattered overalls or smocks for a more whimsical take on this idea.

Set up a makeshift studio in your garage or backyard to make things easy on yourself. Then, let your siblings loose with some paintbrushes and a few blank canvases. As they work, snap away. You’re sure to end up with someone-of-a-kind shots that perfectly capture the spirit of springtime.
Egg Hunt
You can celebrate spring with your siblings by partaking in a classic egg hunt. This activity can be easily tailored to accommodate any age group, perfect for families with young children.

Try hiding the eggs in hard-to-reach places or creating a scavenger hunt-style egg hunt with clues to make things extra fun. If you’re feeling ambitious, you could even dye the eggs beforehand.
No matter how you choose to do it, an egg hunt is a great way to get your siblings outside and enjoy the warmer weather. And, of course, it’s also a perfect opportunity to snap some cute photos.
Use Monochrome Colors
Monochrome colors are a great way to add a touch of sophistication to your sibling’s photos. If you’re going for a more formal look, consider using black and white. Try pastel colors like pink, blue, or yellow for something a little more fun and whimsical.
Try using props and accessories that contrast with your chosen color scheme to make your monochrome photos pop. For example, if you’re using black and white, consider adding a brightly colored umbrella or some colorful flowers.

Use Suitcases
Suitcases can make for some enjoyable and unique sibling photos. You can use them as props or even have your siblings pose inside of them. Try using an old steamer trunk or luggage set for a vintage-inspired look.
If you want to get creative with your suitcase photos, try using them as part of a larger scene. For example, you could have your siblings “traveling” to different locations worldwide or even make up a story about where they’re going.
No matter how you choose to use them, suitcases are a great way to add some personality to your sibling’s photos.
Hand in Hand

One of the most classic sibling poses is to have them hold hands while walking. This is a great way to show off their closeness and relationship. You can have them walk towards or away from the camera or walk in different directions to add interest. To make this pose more fun, try having them skip or swing their arms as they walk.
