Get ready to bundle up and smile big – because I’ve got some fail-safe tips to make your winter family photoshoot absolutely magical!

1. Choose the Right Location

Boise has no shortage of picturesque spots that become positively enchanting in the winter. Think majestic snowy landscapes at Bogus Basin or the quaint charm of our own frost-kissed city. I’m all about finding that perfect backdrop that feels like it’s straight out of a storybook! And guess what? Inside my client-exclusive location lookbook, you’ll find some of the most photogenic places that are gorgeous no matter the season – making sure our session is nothing short of fabulous.

2. Dress for the Weather

We want to keep the shivers away and the smiles wide, so layering is key. But hey, don’t let the chill dampen your style! Flaunt those cozy sweaters, stylish boots, and adorable hats and scarves. I’ll help you coordinate outfits that aren’t just toasty but scream winter-chic. We’re going for snug and fashionable – because you can have both!

3. Embrace Natural Lighting

Oh, that golden hour glow is a photographer’s dream – and it’ll be ours, too! As a Boise photographer, I’m here to guide you to that perfect light where each photo is drenched in warmth. Trust me, there’s nothing quite like the soft, buttery light of a winter sunrise or sunset to make your family photos feel like a cozy embrace.

4. Incorporate Seasonal Props

Let’s get playful with props! Wrapping up in a plush blanket, zooming down hills on sleds, or catching snowflakes on our tongues – these moments make for unforgettable snaps. We can also add a dash of seasonal magic with steaming mugs of hot cocoa and festive winter decorations. Every prop tells a part of your family’s unique story.

5. Capture Candid Moments

Posed shots? Sure, they’re classic. But those spontaneous, candid moments? They’re pure gold! Whether it’s a surprise snowball fight or the giggles that follow a group hug in the snow, we’ll seize all the genuine fun. These are the photos where your family’s personality truly shines through!
