Easter is often an opportunity to gather with family or friends. Whether it's a religious celebration or not, this holiday leads to a whole bunch of rituals to share with your loved ones. To extend these good times, how about creating a photo album for Easter?
Easter, a joyful menagerie
At Easter, a whole imaginary world comes into play. Rabbits (which for a time are not silly) deposit eggs, fish, chickens, or a thousand other chocolate delights in your garden. And if the weather is fickle, these treats will nestle in your living room. Don't worry! Because the Easter holiday symbolizes renewal, life.
Easter, festive rituals
When we talk about Easter, we obviously talk about the egg hunt! It's the highlight of the day for your children. Armed with a basket, they run to find the eggs hidden from view by the rabbits or bells. Laughter guaranteed, beaming (sometimes toothless) smiles when they discover a chocolate hen or fish!
But before heading out on the egg hunt, you need to prepare. So what could be better than family crafting workshops? This year, will they be traditional or contemporary decorations for you? There are tons of tutorials online to help you decide. So don't hesitate to check them out.
But Easter is also an occasion for good meals. With family or friends, we gather. To celebrate this holiday, what will you choose? Traditional family recipes or more innovative ones? We bet they'll be delicious anyway!
At Easter, PHOTOS full of vitality
Armed with your camera, you'll be on a color hunt! Because Easter is also the start of spring. So focus on the beautiful shades of green, on all the spring hues. And don't overlook seasonal floral subjects like daffodils and tulips, for example.
At your children's face level, track their emotions, capture their expressions. To catch their most beautiful smiles, don't hesitate to contort yourself. Choose the right angle of view. A whole palette of emotions will be at your disposal: excitement, joy, worry, happiness, pride! The egg hunt promises to be thrilling.
Individual portraits, group photos, still lifes, mix genres. Take shots both outside and inside. Always favor soft lighting to highlight your subject. Have fun creating a contrast between the main subject and the background as well. Focus on the foreground to get a nice artistic blur in the background.
An Easter photo album
And to immortalize these good family moments, a simple and practical solution: create your own Easter photo album!
