WINTER SESSIONS?!
When we think about getting pictures made, most of us automatically picture florals or fall foliage. Right? We want warm weather with something blooming and frilly outfits or light sweaters and gorgeous, bold leaves in the background. But what if I told you there are plenty of reasons why you should take advantage of winter sessions.
REASON #1
The golden light! OH-EM-GEE! Since the trees are bare, that beautiful sunlight sets behind the trees and creates this beautiful, warm glow that radiates in every image. This fun tidbit actually brings me to reason number two!
REASON #2
You don’t have to wait until 8-9 PM to get a gorgeous sunset session. How many of you scheduled your family portraits and your photographer put you down for 7:30 PM? We love golden hour and unfortunately that means spring and summer sessions happen much later in the evening. That can be tough if you have little ones when they’re typically in bed at the time of the session’s start time.
REASON #3
Less humidity and heat! That’s right, Dad. You don’t have to worry about sweating through your nice clothes. Ladies, that also means you’re not going to lose the curl in your hair or stress about frizz.
REASON #4
You can layer! Layering clothing and accessories adds more detail to your images. The different textures and the different level dimensions add so much to your image that you don’t even realize! It actually makes your image MORE interesting to look at.
REASON #5
More availability! For some photographers, especially DFP, scheduling during peak seasons can be tricky unless you book in advance. Scheduling during January and February is so much easier since that’s usually when photographers have more downtime.
