Are winter photo sessions your thing? Do photo worthy moments still happen in the cold?
In my opinion, which this is my blog so I reckon I'm allowed to share it :), Y E S!
I document my own family and children even in the cold season, so I think I should do the same for yours! Couples keep loving, babies are born, and kids keep growing even when the weather is less than desirable.
How?
Think a snowy outdoor session where the family is bundled up in their best winter gear. Hats, scarves, mittens, the whole works. You snuggle and play in the snow, just like you would a normal session through the grass. Snow is magical in itself. Its a beautiful clean backdrop in nature. Add in some adorable family or couples moments and its magic on steroids. Its the perfect reason for couples to snuggle up together for those tender moments. Its also the perfect canvas for playful shots. Snow tends to bring out the youth and joy in almost everyone.

Are you worried about having to have your home just perfect in order to create print worthy art? You don't need to be, and I can help. We only need a few de-cluttered spaces to work in.

If there's not quite enough natural light in your home or we end up shooting on a dreary day, I bring along my 7' umbrella with strobe to mimic beautiful natural light.
What will we do in an in-home lifestyle session?
Think snuggling on the couch, tickle fest, pillow fights, baking cookies, building lego towers, playing with favorite toys, reading a favorite book as a family. The list is endless and there is something to be found for everyone in a home-based session. Kids jumping on mom and dad's bed honestly make for some gorgeous images. I'll share a few of my own kiddos below.
