Like this selfie museum in Tacoma, Washington that features 15+ installations with unique selfie backgrounds. Each booth has a detachable ring light and the installations change so you can take different pictures everytime you book this venue on Peerspace!

Kendall Jenner better watch out — the world’s next great fashion model is turning 15 and ready for a jaw-dropping fashion photoshoot! Book a stunning venue like this space in LA to capture all your fashion-worthy 15th birthday photoshoot ideas. This Peerspace studio includes a futuristic light tunnel, glass runway, cyc wall, and industrial sets. We especially love the color changing plexiglass and light up floor — only the best for a fabulous fashionista’s birthday!

4. Entering the future

Did you know the first iPhone came out in 2007?! There’s a lot that’s happened in tech since the year you were born and a lot more technological advances that are sure to come! What do you think tech will look like in another 15 years? For your 15th birthday, take a stab at figuring it out with a fun and futuristic tech photoshoot! You’ll be in good company when you book a futuristic, high tech space like this one for your 15th birthday photoshoot. Mortal Kombat, LEGO, Marvel and other big brands have used this Peerspace venue for their productions! 

5. Sophomore photos

You may not be entering your senior year of high school just yet but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a photoshoot worthy of making the yearbook. Seniors shouldn’t be the only ones to enjoy professional photography sessions! On Peerspace, you can book a stunning and unique space for any type of 15th birthday photoshoot — like this open air terrace in Miami! This gorgeous venue offers 4 distinct settings and backdrops. One of our favorite creative aspects of this space is that the Peerspace host was able to bring beach vibes to the 9th floor of a high-rise! 

6. Kid at heart

Remember the good ol’ days when the only thing you were worried about was recess ending or having to leave your friend’s house because mom arrived to pick you up? You may be older now — but that doesn’t mean you have to be any less fun! It’s time to bring back the belly laughs and immaturity with a playground themed birthday photoshoot! Book a Peerspace with an adorable play area, like this one, and have a hilarious photoshoot fitting into spaces that, let’s face it — you’ve literally outgrown. The photos are sure to give you hours of laughter and fun on your special day!

7. Big city vibes

Go all out with your 15th birthday photoshoot ideas and plan for a trip into the city! Take photos in your favorite city location and end on the best note possible — a sunset photoshoot with skyline views! On Peerspace, you can book a top floor penthouse like this one all to yourself. Capture the best city shots without having to worry about anyone interrupting your shoot! This Atlanta, Georgia penthouse is meticulously decorated to perfection with high ceilings, double balconies and rooftop space available upon request! Just shoot the Peerspace host a message and let them know which spaces you would like to use!

8. Enjoy the ride

A big 15th birthday gift is the perfect excuse for a lit 15th birthday photoshoot! If you are expecting to get your first car on your 15th birthday— plan a photoshoot around your new prized possession! Peerspace offers tons of fun venues for car photoshoot — like this car photo studio in Las Vegas that comes with a large black cyc wall and an LED car tunnel.

9. Smoke bombed!

Smoke bombs are a must have prop for a dope outdoor photoshoot! The churning smoke and vibrant, popping colors make for jaw-dropping photos that are perfect for celebrating your 15th birthday. Smoke bomb photoshoots should be done in an outdoor venue — like a Peerspace ranch! This 50-acre ranch in Calimesa, California is surrounded by gorgeous hills that would make an amazing backdrop for your shots. Plus, when you book a large private venue like this one you don’t have to worry about anyone complaining about the smoke from your shoot bothering them.

10. Forever friends

Include your best friend in your photoshoot fun with a photoshoot all about your friendship! You can book a beautiful Peerspace venue like this Joshua Tree cottage to take pics in, laugh endlessly together, and just chill! Outside his sun-drenched boho cottage is a fun Turkish tent, ancient, sprawling Tamarisk tree, and miles of fun hiking trails to explore with the bestie too!

11. Graffiti grunge

Go for a grungy, raw look during your 15th birthday photoshoot! We recommend renting a space with tons of open space for a variety of camera angles, stunning street art for the best backdrops, and fun furniture that’s available to use while you shoot. You can easily find a venue that matches all these criteria near you on Peerspace. For example, check out this urban warehouse with floor-to-ceiling graffiti in Baltimore, Maryland!
