Winter Portraits

When it comes to portraits, whether family, kids, or even high school seniors, many don’t consider the winter outdoors for their photos. This is a beautiful season to get beautiful photos for your walls.

Contrasting colors and earth tones work great against the snow and can add that color pop that can be more difficult to achieve in other seasons. As well, the reflected light off of the snow can bring a much needed fill light to remove the often unpleasant shadows on the face that occur without additional lighting.

Then of course, there is the “fun” aspect that snow can bring out of you… from all of the fun accessories like hats, scarves, hoods, sleds… and yes, even snow. All of this contributes to an infusion of joy in winter photography - something that l love to have my photos communicate.

Here is a short montage of some recent family photos in the wonderful winter outdoors.
