While not the most adventurous on the list, portraiture is classic for a reason. Mothers and sons portraiture is timeless, dignified, and beautifully captures the bond between them without the distractions of a dynamic setting. A plain or monotone setting with good lighting and a nice camera will bring out your best features.

If you happen to be looking for a studio space in West Jordan, Utah, look no further than this professional and modern studio/warehouse. The space includes lighting and a 20 ft. turntable, to make sure no one gets left out of the shot.

If you’ve got some old photographs of mom with the boys as kids, it could be fun to recreate those photographs with an updated spin. No doubt the boys are bigger than they were then, and the updated photographs will be both comedic and endearing.

Don’t have access to the place these old photographs were taken? This light and airy studio space in Los Angeles could be the ideal location for recreating some of your old pictures with props.

It also has hundreds of glowing reviews from Peerspace users. Like this one: “This space was great! I shot photos here and was very pleased with how everything went. The space looked just as advertised and Daniela was a fantastic host/very responsive. I’d definitely use this place in the future again.”

Having trouble settling on one of many mother and sons photoshoot ideas? Why compromise and choose only one? Green screens are a beautiful thing. With a green screen, you can work around the travel restrictions and globetrot without all the expense and effort. It lets you pick and choose any number of backdrops or locations. Then, superimpose them behind you to transport you all over the globe during editing. Just remember not to wear green!

If you’re near Portland, Oregon, you may want to check out this affordable green-screened studio in Island Station. A director who booked this space for an interview shared the following Peerspace review: “Our experience with this studio was great. The space is dialed in for green screen, of course, but also well stocked with grip and lighting tools. Roger, the studio manager, was always ready to answer questions and solve technical issues, but otherwise left us to our work – a perfect balance.”
