It’s important that any photography blog contains a balanced mix of content that both shares your photos, and matches search intent.
If you’re blog is currently only featuring your photoshoots and you’re stuck for ideas on what else to write, use this list for inspiration so that you’re never stuck for an idea again!
The photography blog post ideas list is divided into different genres, and contains data on monthly search volumes for both the UK and USA. This data was collected in October 2020, and search volume is likely to change as trends change, so I would encourage you to undertake your own keyword research. The volume of searches does give you a bit of a feel for what things your potential clients are searching for though.
Blog Post Ideas – Instructions
The keyword phrases shown in the tables below are not intended to be an exact title, but you can use a variation of this keyword phrase within your photography blog post, and prominently throughout your article.
An example blog post title using the keyword phrase ‘large family photo ideas‘ therefore may be: ‘Large family photo ideas from my Brooklyn Studio (That You’ll Love)’
This title example is 67 Characters. Aim for between 40-60, but keep it fewer than 70 characters.
Family Photography Blog Ideas
With family photography, there is also search volume for location ideas, but I’ve worked with enough of you that I know y’all want to keep your locations for family photography top secret! So with that in mind, I’ve not included area or location related ideas.
