Winter Themed Family Photoshoot Tips

If you and your family are getting photos taken this winter, there are several things you can do to make your session a success. Try these 4 ideas to make your winter themed family photoshoot perfect!

Pick a Comfortable or Playful Location

You and your children need to be in a location that feels right. Choosing a backdrop that’s both comfortable and playful will help your family photos shine! If the kids are smiling and having a good time, the pictures will turn out significantly better, and the experience will be more enjoyable for everyone. 

Warmth is Key

If your winter photo session is taking place outside, make sure you check the weather and dress accordingly. If you or the kids are cold during the shoot, it’s sure to make the experience uncomfortable! It’s not a bad idea to bring extra jackets or sweaters in the event that family members get cold during the session.  

Play Around With Layers, Accessories, and Colors

Whether your photoshoot is indoors or outdoors (or it’s hot or cold) you still want your outfits to embody the winter theme! Try playing around with some of these if you really want to bring the winter element to life in your pictures: 

  • Layers (jackets, sweaters, vests) 

  • Accessories (scarves, beanies, gloves) 

  • Winter colors (red, green, silver, gold, blue) 

Don’t Forget to Have Fun

I cannot stress this one enough! Having fun is the most important part of your session. If that means wearing certain clothing, picking a particular location, or incorporating props... DO IT! A winter themed family photoshoot is the perfect time to let loose. This will make your winter photos all the more magical.
