What To Wear For Snowy Family Photo Sessions

Snowy family photos are always fun, but deciding what everyone should wear can sometimes be tricky...so we put together some great color palettes and tips to help you with your snowy photos!

Red, Black, Gray & White are really pretty together and have a great rustic feel for winter photos.  We are thoroughly in love with red & black plaid this season!  It just gets us in the holiday spirit!  Red is always a super pretty pop of color...especially in a field of Evergreens.  Very festive!

Cool blues are also beautiful for snowy photos-think icy, wintery.  Blue is the perfect shade to compliment a glistening snowfall.

Pops of bright colors are always fun in the snow!  We love color, and the neutral white background of snow gives you the perfect opportunity to show some fun color! Pick brightly colored scarves and accessories to spice up your photos!

Winter Neutrals like shades of subtle grays & creams are amazing in the snow too, and can be really classy!

Lastly, don't forget your fun winter accessories: fur hats, winter coats, knit hats, and scarves!!!  They are super festive and add dimension to your photos!

Snow Day | Colorado Snowy Photos

Everyone loves a snow day right?!  When you can cozy up inside, and only go out when you are ready to play!  This snow day has us thinking back to last year playing in the snow with Elise!  We cannot get over how much she has grown and changed in just a year!  And we love that she brought along her foxes for her snow adventure! 

Family Session | Fly'n B Park | Highlands Ranch, Colorado

This time of year our hearts are cozy and full of being with family.  Spending time with family...shopping...playing board games and card games...being outside together...just being together...slowing down and taking each other in.
It is such a time of connecting.  We love the connection this family had together.  Combine their connection with that beautiful Colorado snow, and our favorite time of year...and we had an awesome photo shoot!  This session was extra special because their oldest son was getting ready to leave the country for two years the following week, so it was an honor to be trusted to take their photos for them before he left!

Snowy Photos | Colorado

Oh when it snows ain't it filling
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland

Tis' the season for snowy photos!  And we love every second of it!!!

We love catching snowflakes!  We love running in freshly fallen snow! We love the wonder and awe in children's eyes as they play in it!  We love the hot cocoa that follows!

Looking back at this session from last year has us ready to grab our mittens and sleds and play in the snow with our kiddos! 

Look at that pure joy!  Falling snow is simply magical!

Those eyes and those rosy cheeks!  Oh we just cannot get enough of this cutie!

2015 Black Friday Deals | Highlands Ranch Family Photographer

I absolutely LOVE Black Friday.... now I hardly ever leave my home but the chance to purchase something when all the stores have their best deals all wrapped into one day is fantastic and exciting!!!

Extended Family Session | Parker, Colorado

This extended family session spanned three generations and took place on family property...making it extra special!  Having those gorgeous mountains in the background and including the animals really captured the spirit of this family! 

We love how extended family photos not only represent who is in a family, but also the bond they share.  How they capture a precise time and season in our lives to treasure forever.  Something that will only grow in value as time passes.

Like memories and stories...family photos are part of a legacy...they document who we are and our time together...something to hold near and dear to our hearts and pass down...something that captures the essence of a family's love and joy.  Does it get anymore beautiful than that?!

November Family Fall Mini Sessions | Castle Rock, Colorado | Highlands Ranch, Colorado

Cue the sleigh bells...get out the eggnog and wrapping paper...these November mini sessions just have us soooo ready for the holidays!  So many bright, happy, festive families this year!  We love that fall in Colorado means gorgeous sunshine and snow all at once...such a magical combination! 

This year we had 3 awesome locations for our November Family Fall mini sessions!  One was announced early and two were top secret until just a bit before their sessions...making photos all the more exciting!  

These first few photos are from one of our secret locations...Daniels Park...the perfect spot for a family adventure!  The view was simply stunning and the sun was shining!

For our other secret location, we found a great wintery, foresty spot...perfect for pine cone collecting and getting out our red sleigh...it was so rustic for snowy Colorado photos!  And although it looks like we are way up in the mountains, we were actually close by in the Castle Pines area!

Our third location was one of our favorite spots for November sessions...Columbine Open Space in Castle Rock!  This spot has a red barn and wooden bridge...so charming for snowy family photos!

Family Session | Fly'n B Park | Highlands Ranch, Colorado

We shot this session early Halloween morning at Fly'n B Park...

and love how their fun personality totally shines through in their photos!

We wanted to capture Skye at about the same age as had we captured Jaxon in a previous shoot...about the age of 21-22 months to add to their family canvas wall gallery!

Mission accomplished!

A red barn.  A chunky scarf!  Polka dot tights!  

A light dusting of snow...the first sign of the holidays!

Family Fall Session | Cottonwood Park | Parker, Colorado

We love bold, bright color and how the Colorado autumn foliage just pops in photos to make the perfect backdrop!  And yellow happens to be one of our favorite colors...so we are totally smitten with the leaves this time of year! 

We also love breaking out our sweaters and scarves and getting cozy this time of year!  Look at all these family snuggles!  So fun!

Maternity Session | Cottonwood Park | Parker, Colorado

We love capturing the beauty of motherhood.

Just like the fleeting newborn stage, pregnancy only lasts a short time...

so we believe in taking photos to hold onto that beautiful stage of eager anticipation.

This maternity session took place at Cottonwood Park!  It was the perfect place to run around with big sister Ruby and get in some family time before baby brother arrives!

Mom is absolutely stunning.

 

And dad is super excited to have his little man here to watch some football!

We can't wait to meet Ruby's baby brother!
