I<\/span> don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know why more families don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seek winter family photo sessions. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s certainly different from a family photo with the bright blues and greens of high summer, or the saturated colours of autumn, and granted, you need to be a little bit more diligent in playing along with the weather \u00e2\u20ac\u201c there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a fine line between pink cheeks at -10C and frostbitten noses at -25C. But there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s something magical and utterly Canadian about being bundled up with scarves and mitts against gently falling snow \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and in the case of this almost-impromptu winter session, a treacherous coating of ice so bad we had to be deliberate with every single step!<\/p>\n

Of course, it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t hurt when you have a beautiful family, a cute dog, and a great location like Watson\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Mill in Manotick for your background. I love it when all the elements come together!<\/p>\n

Lucky for me, in addition to being charming and lovely and willing to negotiate icy walkways and paths, this family had a great sense of humour, and responsed with good humour to my prompts and suggestions.<\/p>\n

And they came with ideas of their own, like recreating a family piggy-back shot from years past. (We had to find a non-icy spot to pull this one off!)<\/p>\n

I always know a photo “works” when it makes me smile while I’m editing it. It’s good to know that sisters can be just as much fun as brothers!<\/p>\n

The other really nice thing about winter family portraits is that my weekends are usually wide open, so chasing that perfect not-too-cold and not-too-snowy and not-too-messy weather is a lot easier. If you’d like to try winter family portraits, I have all sorts of ideas for great locations – get in touch and book your session today<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
