Best Instagram Hubs / Feature Accounts For Moms and Families

What is an Instagram Feature Account for moms?

Basically, an Instagram hub or feature account shares the best pictures in their niche. Instagram feature accounts for moms share the best pictures of mom life, kids exploring their environment or child photography in general.

You need to tag them or use their hashtag for a chance to get featured. The moderators look through hundreds of these posts and share the most unique ones (in their opinion). It is a great way to get noticed by thousands of other accounts in your niche.

But Instagram feature accounts are far more than that. They are communities, connecting like-minded people. No idea who to follow in your niche? Check the Instagram hubs of your interests and there you go!

In my opinion, they are also a great way to improve your photography. Every hub wants to share the best of the best, the most inspiring and unique pictures. They are an inspiration to become better and also get a chance to be featured.

Instagram hubs exist in practically every niche. In this article, we focus on feature accounts that are mom, kids or family-related.

Why should moms tag an Instagram Feature Account or Hub?

Get your picture featured

If you want other people to notice your account or would love some recognition for your work, it is amazing if you get featured by one of these Instagram hubs. Just tag them, use their hashtag and done. Easy right? 

Unfortunately not… Everybody who tried to get featured knows better, it’s very hard!

What should you do to get your post shared on their feed? Here are some tips.

Mix it up. Don’t always tag the same hubs or only big ones. I tag different Instagram feature accounts for moms on every post and a mix between smaller and bigger hubs. The bigger the account, the harder to get your post shared. Chances are if you get featured by a smaller one, you’ll get picked up by one of the big accounts. Tag them both.

Improve your photography and study other accounts that get featured. Those hubs share the best of the best. If you feel you’re not there yet, don’t get discouraged. See it as a way to improve your photography and editing skills. Use the other accounts as inspiration, look at their composition and the colours they use.

Follow these accounts. Sometimes it just as simple as that. A lot of these Instagram hubs won’t feature you if you’re not following them. They want to support their community.

Tag the right hub for the right post. Before you tag a feature account, get the feel of their feed. Do they feature real-life mom life or stunning child photography? Do they prefer dark tones or bright colours? Depending on the picture you’re posting, tag accounts that are in line with the feeling and subject of your picture.

Join a community

Getting your picture featured is amazing, but you also want to tag and follow these accounts to become part of a community.

Are you a mom that loves photography? A mom who stays at home and is trying to cope with mom life? Or maybe a mom travelling the world with her kids, wanting to connect with like-minded families.

Community is everything. It connects us, makes us feel part of a group. Instagram is a great way to build such a community!

It’s not easy, however, to find these like-minded people in the Instagram jungle. Enter Instagram hubs! Find the Instagram feature accounts for moms depending on your interests, and check the accounts they feature.

You’ll get to know a lot of other moms to follow, all doing the same things you love! No more scrolling through your Instagram feed for hours looking for other fun or inspirational accounts (who has time for that anyway).

Grow your Instagram followers

I’ll be honest, getting your picture featured doesn’t mean you’ll get thousands of new followers at once. Unless your post is shared on one of the big hubs and it gets viral. But you will get new followers and your content published in front of a new audience that fits your niche and style.

These days, people can also follow hashtags of their niche or interests. Which means by using the specific hashtag of the Instagram feature account, tons of people will see your content even if your picture doesn’t get featured on the hub. A great way to make your content visible to like-minded accounts and grow your followers

Best Instagram Hubs for Family Travel and Kids Exploring The Outdoors

Life is hard for us, the family travellers ?. There aren’t a lot of accounts that feature kids or families exploring the world.

You can find plenty of hubs on travel photography in general, but they often only feature travel pictures without people in them. Or there are the female and couple traveller accounts, but they won’t post family travel pictures or kids enjoying the outside.

So what to do? I did find a few hubs focussed uniquely on family travel. And there is a big group of Instagram feature accounts focussed on child photography in general.

On our Instagram account, I tag all of those hubs that are focussed on family travel in general or child photography of kids exploring the outdoors.

The more general child photography Instagram hubs are listed in the next section. A lot of them will feature outdoor pictures as well, so don’t forget to check them.
