The first step in creating stunning snowy family photos is selecting the perfect location. Look for picturesque settings such as snow-covered peaks, frozen lakes, or even your own backyard! Consider the backdrop – snow covered trees or an open field with untouched snow can add charm to your family portraits. We have some great locations to recommend to you!

2. Dress Warm

Ensure your family is dressed appropriately for the cold weather! Coordinating color schemes, such as winter whites, deep blues, or festive reds, can create a visually pleasing and cohesive look. Don’t forget to bundle up with scarves, hats, and mittens, not just for warmth but also to add texture and interest to the photos. Wearing appropriate shoes is so important! Your feet will likely get wet!

3. Capture Candid Moments

While posed photos have their charm, candid moments often tell a more authentic story. We encourage families to interact naturally! We get those family money shots, but also enjoy capturing the fun! Candid shots capture genuine emotions, making your snowy family photos more meaningful and timeless.
