Plus, you’ve probably already got all the outfits you need and swag with your team’s logo on it. For added flair get yourselves into the game and take some action shots of the two of you playing the sport of your choice.

3. Video game night photoshoot

Some dads and sons might not care too much about sports, but they love their video games! Grab a few bags of chips and get the soda out cause a video game night photoshoot will be a total blast. In search of a game room that’ll turn some heads? This retro game room with mid-century style is an ideal place for a photoshoot and Peerspace is your ticket in.

See what one of the reviewers had to say about shooting here: “This home was absolute perfection! The vibe was amazing and it had so many great spots for a photoshoot. Jennifer was an incredible host, made everything spotless and was great with communication.”

4. Learning to drive photoshoot

Dads can’t wait to get their son behind the wheel of their roadster and teach him how to drive. At just about any age you can turn your car into a versatile photoshoot location. Try some pictures with a younger child sitting in your lap while the car is in the driveway pretending to drive. However, if you have an older son, you can even document his first time behind the wheel.

5. Man cave photoshoot

Every man with a man cave one day dreams of sharing that space with their son since it’s the ultimate rite of passage. To commemorate, why not celebrate with a man cave photoshoot in a space like this super cool and large industrial man cave warehouse? This place has it all: “An ultimate man cave equipped with a private bar & lounge. Kick back to old school vibes in a game room filled with vintage pinball machines, pool table, foosball table, television & recliner sofas.”

6. Superhero photoshoot

There are plenty of kids (and dads too!) that are absolutely obsessed with superheroes these days. You have probably already got a few superhero shirts or Halloween costumes laying around in the closet, so this is a perfect opportunity to dust those off. Strike some action poses or dress up as your favorite hero and sidekick and kick some villain butt!

7. First beer photoshoot

Sweet father son photoshoot ideas like this are definitely geared towards a certain age demographic (over 21). But once your son is old enough, a first beer photoshoot could be a really fun way to welcome your son into the bar experience. And if you want to do it in style then a location like this loft creative space would be the ultimate vibe. There’s a reason it’s so highly rated, with glowing reviews like this one: “The loft was absolutely wonderful! The cleanliness, the decor and vibes, overall great experience! It was literally the best one stop shop for all your creative needs!”

8. Take your son to work day photoshoot

Whatever your job is, your son has probably expressed an interest in finding out more about it. A nice and sweet way to accomplish this would be a “take your son to work day”-style photoshoot. Even if you’re working from home, it can be a fun activity for a kid to dress up like their dad going to work and play a little grownup.

9. Minimalist photoshoot

Unique and sweet father son photoshoot ideas can involve going as minimal as possible with your backdrop and outfits. Throw on some matching clothes and take some warm and touching photos at a location like this natural light minimalist gallery industrial loft in Houston. You’ll never know where your creativity will take you here. “With the unobstructed natural light, light wood floors, collaborations with local artists, inclusive paper drops, and more, the space is designed to be an ever changing atmosphere which allows everyone the opportunity to create something new every time they return.”

10. Cozy day photoshoot

Usually, on dad’s day off, he wants to get nice and cozy on the couch or in bed. This can be a cute way to get some pictures of father and son in their natural chill habitat. Pull out all your blankets and pillows while you’re at it and throw together a pillow fort for an extra cozy backdrop.

11. King and prince photoshoot

What kid doesn’t like swords and sorcery, tales of kings and princes fighting dragons, and rescuing princesses? Get some costumes together and take a touching and fun king and prince photoshoot! If you don’t have all the sets and backgrounds, don’t worry – Peerspace has spots like the Red Drake Inn, a medieval-themed studio. See what reviewers had to say about the communicative and helpful hosts: “Mike and Sarah host a wonderful space! They are quick to respond and provide excellent hospitality for your booking needs! 10/10 would definitely book again!”

12. Shaving in the mirror photoshoot

Another cute idea we have for you is a shaving in the mirror photoshoot. Even if your son isn’t sprouting hair on his face yet, he’ll still look cute with shaving cream on his face giving it a try! This is a great idea that can be done from home with (minimal) mess.
