If you are going to celebrate St Patrick’s Day and want to make this event memorable, why not organize a photo session? I have prepared interesting and original St Patrick’s picture ideas that are easy to bring to life. You don’t need to invest in expensive props or search for a specific place – just invite friends to your home and have fun together. Below you will find ideas both for adults and kids.
If you are going to organize a large party in your neighborhood, making a photo booth with the “Kiss Me I’m Irish” sign is one of the best St Patrick’s Day photoshoot ideas. You need to decorate it with clover balloons, little cauldron kettles filled with plastic gold coins, and other thematic elements. Of course, wearing green clothes is a must.
It is advisable to take relaxed poses and feel the vibe. You can stay behind the booth and pretend to be flirting, stay near it, or take several steps toward a photographer so that a photo booth is in the background.
The combination of colors in a rainbow is eye-pleasing and can jazz up any photo. So, my recommendation is to create a large rainbow banner or wall out of construction paper and pose against it. For an absolutely wow effect, you can throw up golden confetti in the air. Besides, this way, you will add some dynamics to a picture.
Most St Patty’s Day photo ideas involve using the main symbol of the party and if you don’t want to mess around with complicated setups, this is a win-win option. You can buy or make a clover garland and hang it in the backyard or attach it to the wall. Besides, put some clover stickers on your clothes or face for a complete look. Use such decorations reasonably not to end up with a cluttered image.
If you are good at makeup you could also try a clover-inspired makeup look.
To create such a shooting spot, you need to use white bed sheets as a background and throw poly-fil on the floor. Or, you can choose an artificial cloud prop so that everything looks realistic.
As for clothes, you can put on rainbow sweaters, which will serve as colorful accents and immediately attract viewers’ gaze to you. It is possible to embellish pictures even further with the Lucky Charm while editing shots in Photoshop or Picsart.
If you want to fool around a bit, take poly-fil in your hands and pose like you are blowing clouds in the needed direction. Experiment with facial expressions and involve your friends in the shooting.
All St Patrick’s Day picture ideas have one thing in common – they include green predominating in clothes, accessories, props, etc. Green can have different shades but I suggest using monochrome green for a savory look. You can either create a thematic background for indoor shooting or go outdoors and find a picture-perfect landscape. Flick through attractive Instagram poses and choose those that comply with your inner state.
Green and gold make a perfect combination, so prepare a pot of gold and use this object as the main prop. You can hold it with both hands and show that you are amazed, or sit near the pot and start examining your treasure. You can also hang golden letter balloons in the background to enhance the atmosphere. There are no stringent rules on what emotions to show so be inventive.
This is an excellent choice if you are in need of friend picture ideas for St. Patrick’s Day. Just wrap yourselves in a tinsel garland. Complete your looks with shamrock headband and glasses.
There’s no better couple poses than a simple kiss. Add a leprechaun hat to the equation and you have a simple and cute St Patrick’s Day photoshoot idea.
If you want to organize a photo session with your baby being the main character, you can turn him/her into a small and sweet leprechaun. A leprechaun costume tops the list of the cute newborn photography outfits for such a photo session, so make sure to find one. Besides, add a bow for a girl or a bowtie for a boy. The background should be green or white & green.
An adorable and simple way to do a photoshoot for St Patrick’s day is with a huge cauldron! Instead of gold coins, put your baby in that pot. Add colorful shamrock banners in the background and dress the kid in a cute St Patrick’s Day outfit. Adorable photos are guaranteed.
Purchase or bake a giant green cupcake and let your baby pose and interact with it. Use a green backdrop, and for decoration you can just scatter some little gold coins.
Another sample of sweet newborn photo ideas that you can adapt to St Patrick’s holiday is to write a word or phrase on a letter board. This can be anything you have in mind – your baby’s name and age, a short poem, a related quotation, and whatnot.
You can also choose this option if you are searching for creative 1 to 12 months baby photo ideas. You don’t need to devote much time to the preparation while photos will surely be ravishing.
You can also combine several St Patrick’s Day photoshoot ideas listed above for a baby photo session. For instance, you can create a rainbow using white butcher paper and paint, or colored silk/loose fabric. For a 3D rainbow, it is better to use crinkled paper and then dye it in the needed colors. You can also complement the scene with a pot of gold. If handicraft isn’t your cup of tea, you can purchase a rainbow photo backdrop.
The quickest way to add colors to any shooting spot is to use a photo backdrop. There are lots of them available in stores but I suggest you start with buying a rainbow balloon set to create an arch. If you want to highlight that you are celebrating St Patrick’s Day, you should get a green fringe backdrop. Your images will amaze with beautiful color mixes without tiring viewers’ eyes.
Dress up your baby in a shamrock onesie completed with a “Kiss Me I’m Irish” bib. Your friends and family will die from cuteness overload after seeing this shot.
If you are celebrating St Patrick’s Day with your pet, there are plenty of pet photography ideas for you to try. Choose from the abundance of dog leprechaun outfits, and cat leprechaun outfits, dress up your pet and shoot away!
