Why Winter is a Wonderful Time for Family Photos | Sunshine Lady Photography
Wolfgang Family Session in Boulder, Colorado
The summer and fall months are my busiest for outdoor photo sessions, but I feel like winter is majorly overlooked by many clients who want a “very Colorado” photo session experience. Booking a snowy winter family photo session in Colorado can be a great way to capture special memories of your family in a beautiful and unique setting during what can be a magical time of year. Here are some reasons why you might consider it:
Natural Winter Wonderland
Colorado is known for its stunning natural landscapes, and winter can be an especially magical time to photograph them. The snow-covered mountains, frozen lakes, and icicles can create a winter wonderland backdrop that makes for beautiful and memorable family photos.
Unique Settings
If you're looking for something different from the typical beach or park family photos, a snowy winter session in Colorado can offer a unique and special experience. The snow and winter scenery can provide a one-of-a-kind setting that can make your family photos stand out and offers a type of magical backdrop you can’t get with grass.
Fun For the Whole Family
A snowy winter photo session can also be a fun and memorable experience for the whole family. Whether you're making snow angels, having a snowball fight, or just enjoying the scenery together, the session can be a bonding experience that you'll all remember for years to come.
Contrast
Winter can be a great time for high contrast photos. The stark, shimmery white of snow can create an interesting contrast with darker subjects, especially when wearing pops of color.
Fewer Crowds
Winter can be a slower season for photography, meaning there are fewer crowds to compete with when it comes to getting that perfect shot. Plus, fewer people in the shot can create a more serene and peaceful feeling.
Overall, booking a snowy winter family photo session in Colorado can be a great way to capture special memories and create beautiful images that you'll treasure for years to come.
