How to Take Instagram Pictures With Flowers

Hi friends! Today I wanted to share a new series I’ll be doing on the blog. I’m going to share photoshoot ideas, some including props. Today’s post will be about How to Take Instagram Pictures With Flowers! I love shooting with flowers and am honestly sad that I haven’t done it more. Hydrangeas are my favorite flower, so when choosing flowers to shoot with, I knew I needed to choose these!

All of these photos were shot around The High Museum in downtown Atlanta! It offered a gorgeous white backdrop to allow the outfit + flowers to really flourish in the foreground of the shots. My entire look (except my shoes) was thrifted, but I linked some similar items below to shop! My favorite place to grab flowers for shoots is Trader Joe’s. They’re cheap, well taken care of, and so beautiful!

Using Flowers As An Accessory

Sometimes I feel like I’m always doing the SAME THINGS with my hands! I’ve started trying to add more props (handbags, flowers, coffee cups, etc.) to make them look more natural as photos. For this picture, I used this Cult Gaia bag (I found it for only $30 at Uptown Cheapskate and almost died) and some hydrangeas for props! These turned out so cute and I’m thrilled that the flowers worked in these shots.

Holding Flowers Up to Your Face

I love having dimension in my shots as well as having a variety in my feed! I usually try not to post too many “full outfit” pics in a row because I feel like then it all looks one note. Generally I’ll try to throw in some cropped photos (either at the waist or closer in towards my face) to add some diversification. In this case, I brought the flowers in closer and then moved my bag out of the shot!

Sitting On a (Stone) Wall

I love giving a cottagecore feel to whatever I’m posting ESPECIALLY in the spring! Although you can obviously see city buildings in the background, I wanted to get the ivy in the back of this shot. I knew with the combination of those plus my flowers it would give the perfect springtime vibe to the pictures! I was NOT disappointed and I really love how these turned out. This wall is on the right side of The High Museum if you’re trying to replicate this shot!

Using Flowers for Detail Shots

I love having an assortment of photos for my blog posts so that whoever is reading can get a good idea of what my entire outfit looks like! For this shoot, I really wanted to get a detail shot of my shoes, bag, and the flowers. We tried a few different angles, but I LOVED how these ended up looking! You can see close up details of the bag, my shoes, and the flowers are still an important part of the photo.

When the pandemic first started, I legitimately did not leave my apartment for 2.5 months (thx asthma). I ordered groceries in, disinfected everything, and took every precaution I could.⁣
⁣
Obviously that wasn’t sustainable over an entire year, but I was still extremely careful by avoiding seeing family unless they quarantined and were tested + I didn’t travel.⁣
⁣
2020 was supposed to be my first year to FINALLY start traveling. I’d had a full-time job for six months and finally had PTO saved up. Then BOOM. The entire world shut down.⁣
⁣
Although I still plan to wear my mask and take precautions, I finally feel like I’m able to start taking small trips (in my car) and having staycations. Thank you Pfizer for making me feel this much better!!! ⁣
