1. Plan a sweet poolside photoshoot with your girls

Wearing pretty outfits and/or your nicest swimsuits, you and your friends can go for a classic girl group photoshoot idea that’ll catch eyes on your friends’ feeds: a fun poolside photoshoot! Just find a pool to take photos at and get to snapping photos.

And if you don’t have one yourself, check out Peerspace to rent a pool venue near you. For instance, you can rent a place with a pool like this pink palace home in Las Vegas. It’s a spacious feminine and kitsch-styled home complete with a fun backyard pool. The added benefit of this idea is that you get to take a dip during and after the photoshoot! 

Another perk that comes with using Peerspace? You can read genuine reviews from past renters before you make a booking decision! And this Vegas home has plenty of raves. Like this one: “Leslie was a fantastic host & her home was to die for!!! Perfect home for photo shoots, every room had so much detail & texture, will 100% be booking this place for future photo shoots again”

2. Have fun with a bubble-blowing photoshoot in a beautiful setting

Especially if it’s spring or summer and the weather is sunny and warm, this is a fun and playful girl group photoshoot idea that makes for pretty and dynamic photos. It’s simple: find a lovely outdoor space like a park or garden, bring a bottle of bubbles with a bubble wand, and take photos of your group of friends blowing bubbles together.

If you’re near Washington, DC, you can rent this Union Market rooftop garden and take your photos here with a stunning backdrop view! It’s a dreamy 450-square-foot space brimming with plants, flowers, and fruit trees, with beautiful furnishings that will enhance your shoot.

Check out the rooftop’s photos and reviews from past renters, like this one that comments on the venue and the host. “Once again this venue is breathless. I will return again. The Host is the best!”

3. Star together in a candid party photoshoot

This girl group photoshoot idea is a double whammy – it means you get to throw a party together and end up with some great photos in the process! What’s great about candid photos is that they seem a lot more natural and fun than more posed photography. They’ll also really capture how happy you actually were at the party.

Be sure to choose a great venue for your party like this urban jungle space in Phoenix, AZ, which can accommodate as many as 50 guests. It includes tables, chairs, and of course, plenty of gorgeous plants.

“Jude was a great host,” shares a Peerspace reviewer. “he helped us from the start and ensured we were in good hands for our event. The space was just as described it was a hit being able to control the light settings and audio. We would definitely considered booking Jude’s spot in the future for other events.”

4. Get cute with it by staging a pillow fight photoshoot

Grab some pillows and snap photos as you and your friends have a pillow fight! This is one of those classic girl group photoshoot ideas for the ‘Gram that’s easy to do. Plus, it’ll ensure you and your best buds have a really fun time. 

Want to book a beautiful space for this one that most likely looks more aesthetic than your bedroom? Then check out this gorgeous royal velvet room production set in Miami, FL. One of its three sets is a cream and gold bedroom, complete with a round bed and plenty of pillows.

Check out this helpful review from a director who booked this set for a production: “Wow! – In the film universe especially the non “Hollywood” underworld we really prize our experience on customer service and communication. What Yvonne has curated in this space surpasses all expectations…I’m grateful to have had this experienced and I will absolutely book again, and again!”

5. Get playful with a retro pin-up photoshoot

Are you a fan of 1950s/rockabilly aesthetics? Curl your hair, don your cutest vintage-style outfits, and do a pin-up-themed photoshoot with your besties!

To add authenticity and take this girl group photoshoot idea to the next level, rent out a retro, 1950s-style space for your photoshoot. Peerspace is home to thousands of retro-themed spaces in cities across the globe. One of our favorites is this incredible retro chic house of glamour in Shoreview, MN. It is room after room of eye-popping vintage design and an over-the-top aesthetic.

6. Head to the kitchen for a sweet cooking/baking photoshoot

When you and your friends get together do you love to cook or bake as a group? If so, girl group photoshoot ideas for the ‘Gram like this could be a great choice. It means you’ll enjoy a great bonding activity and have delicious homemade goodies to eat together when you’re done!

If you’d rather not use one of your own kitchens for this photoshoot, then rely on Peerspace to hook you up with a stylish option. You can even rent a space like this mini production shoots studio in Chicago, IL. It makes the perfect setting for this photoshoot thanks to its full commercial kitchen with high-end appliances. 

7. Create something magical with a green screen photoshoot

This one is pretty general, but that’s only because using a green screen for your photoshoot means you can do pretty much anything you want with the background! Want to look like you and your friends are floating in space, standing on the top of a mountain, or exploring a fictional setting of some kind? With a green screen, the only limit is your imagination!

It’s just a matter of finding and renting a photo studio with a green screen. That’s another scenario that Peerspace makes easy! And we love this affordable and professional green screen cyclorama room in Denver, CO as an option. 

Peerspace reviewers share insights about it like: “Amazing experience! Wonderful staff. Awesome green screen studio!”

8. Matching outfits

Groups of friends tend to wear similar clothes because they spend time together and influence each other’s aesthetic preferences. Why not lean into this tendency and do a photoshoot where you’re all wearing coordinated outfits? You can all wear similar or complementary colors. Or, take it a step further and all wear the same exact outfit? This is one of those really cute girl group photoshoot ideas for the ‘Gram that also happens to be eye-catching. It’s also the perfect demonstration of how close you all are.

You can do this photoshoot at your own home, out on the town together, or at a cozy location. We especially love the idea of booking a rustic log cabin on Peerspace, like this cozy cabin retreat in Nashville, TN for the setting.

You can also mimic a road trip by taking photos posing together along a scenic nearby road to capture those cute and cheery road trip vibes. Or, take a short day trip to some nearby roadside attractions and snap your photos there.

10. Grab your favorite books for a library photoshoot

Are you and your friends voracious readers? Celebrate your nerdy side by taking some sweet photos of yourselves reading your favorite books together, ideally at a local library or other space dedicated to books.

If you’d like a private space for your library photoshoot, you can rent a suitable space like this beautiful historic library in Washington, DC. On the West Coast? Then this Los Angeles light-filled corner loft with a rustic library room may be just the spot.
