5 Reasons why you should book a Winter family session
As a family photographer Winter months actually get me excited. Most Gold Coasters don't like Winter as our beautiful sunny days get shorter and cooler but from a photography perspective some of my favourite sessions have been in Winter. If you don't think Winter is a good time for a family session let me change your mind. Here are 5 reasons why you should consider booking your session now:-
1. The pink fairy floss sunsets!
The sunsets in Winter are so beautiful. The colours you get from a Winter sunset are so dreamy. Think pink and purple tones just like fairy floss. Don't believe me, check out some of my photos below I took last Winter.
2. The earlier sunset times
If you're a parent of little ones, than you'll appreciate the earlier sunset times. This means you can get your photoshoot done all before the kids dinner and bedtime and therefore avoid less meltdowns!
3. The cute knits and outfits
Textured knits look amazing in photos, the different textures add interest and depth to your photos and who doesn't love a baby or toddler wrapped up in a knitted cardigan.
4. Less people around
The locations and especially the beaches I shoot at can sometimes be busy in the warmer months but come Winter there is less people around which may make you feel more comfortable, especially if you've never had a photoshoot before.
5. More availability/Less rain
There's usually a lot more dates to pick from with your photographer as it's a slower season and people tend to not realise the advantage of winter shoots so you can have your pick of weekends that work for you and your family. Another bonus advantage is there is usually less rain than in the Summer months here on the Gold Coast so less chance of grey clouds or having to reschedule your shoot!
If you can't already tell I enjoy my Winter shoots for as many reasons as I love my Spring and Summer shoots so don't be put off on booking a family shoot between May and August. You may just get some of your favourite photos to date!
Shoot me an email if you want to discuss booking in a session soon, I would love to chat to you further about it!
