3 Ways to Incorporate Flowers Into Your Family Session

So you want your family session to have a unique, editorial element? First, allow me to reassure you that you’re in the right place! I’m a huge fan of putting an editorial spin on your session. Now…how do we practically achieve that? One of the easiest ways is by adding florals to your session! And you’re in luck – here I’ve listed 3 ways to incorporate flowers into your family session!

No, florals aren’t just for weddings and engagement sessions…they’re for the romantic in all of us! Whether a maternity, newborn, milestone, or family session, florals can fit in with all of these! Here’s how…

1. Bouquets

An expertly designed bouquet with some flowing chiffon ribbon fits in everywhere: the beach, mountainside, in studio, among beautiful architecture, or in a field. You literally can’t go wrong with adding a bouquet to your session! 

The possibilities are endless when it comes to colors and themes. You can incorporate big, fluffy flowers (making all of your peony dreams come true!) or opt for a minimal bouquet. Either way, a bouquet is a sure way to add an element of joy to your session!

2. Flower crowns

Whether you go bold and beautiful or dainty and delicate, flower crowns are one of the easiest ways to add florals to your images. They work for any age, from newborns all the way up to mamas say you can incorporate them into any type of session. 

Pro tip: opting for real flowers truly elevates your floral crown. Faux florals have their place, but because crowns are so close to your face (a major focus point!), having real florals makes a difference here.

3. A floral installation

Do you envision something totally unique for your session? Let’s incorporate a floral installation! These can be done in any setting – whether a painted studio backdrop or on the beach, a floral installation fits in. We can collaborate with the best florists in the area to create something uniquely you.

Floral arches, hoops, large vases, hanging florals…if you can think it, we can make it happen!
