Matching Denim Outfits Photoshoot
Matching denim outfits are one of the easiest this and son photo ideas out there. Denim on denim looks put together without trying too hard.
This is the photo that ends up framed on somebody’s desk within the week.
Piggyback Ride Backyard Photo
How sweet is a piggyback ride backyard photo? It captures actual laughing instead of a stiff posed smile.
I always end up out of breath chasing the right angle. Golden hour light in the backyard does most of the work. Just snap several shots in a row since the best one is never the first try.
Forehead Kiss Silhouette Portrait
A forehead kiss silhouette portrait is quiet and simple but it hits every time. I shoot it against a sunset with the camera facing straight into the light.
This one prints beautifully in black and white. It’s the kind of photo that still looks good hanging on a wall years later.
Cowboy And Cowgirl Duo Costume
Cowboy and cowgirl duo costumes are a fun pick for mom and son costume ideas that don’t feel over the top. My thrift store boots worked just as well as brand new ones here. Denim vests, bandanas and a couple of toy horses complete the whole scene.
Nobody’s checking for authenticity at a Halloween party, lol!

Superhero And Sidekick Costume
Superhero and sidekick costumes never really go out of style, am I right? I made the cape from an old pillowcase and it worked better than anything store bought!
This combo gets the most compliments at school parades every single year. The capes hold up for multiple wears too.
- The cape steals every parade
- Old pillowcase makes a cape
- Holds up for repeat wears

Pirate Captain And Mate Costume
Pirate captain and mate costumes bring big personality without a big budget. A striped shirt, an eye patch and a cardboard hook go a long way.
Add a paper hat from the craft aisle for the captain and you’re fully in character. Not that I’m competitive about costume contests, haha!

- Cardboard hook does the job

- Striped shirt already in the closet
Floral Mom To Be Sash
A floral mom to be sash is one of those mom to be decoration ideas that photographs beautifully without much fuss. I glued fresh flowers onto a plain sash ribbon and called it a day.

Pampas Grass Table Centerpiece
Pampas grass table centerpieces have taken over every shower this year. Honestly the trend deserves it! The soft, neutral look fits basically any color scheme.
I grabbed a few stems from a craft store and stuck them in a simple vase. It’s low maintenance since nothing needs water or trimming.
- Zero water, zero trimming

Baseball Themed Popcorn Cups
Baseball themed popcorn cups are one of my favorite tball snack ideas team mom duty ever handed me. White cups with red seam lines drawn on look just like little baseballs!

Team Snack Bag Labels
Team snack bag labels turn a plain bag of chips into something that actually matches the team colors. I print them on sticker paper and slap one on each bag.

Who doesn’t love saving a whole afternoon with one trip to the printer?
