If you want to have beautiful snowy pictures, it’s time to think about getting some winter wonderland pictures when the weather is warmer and before the snow is gone. Having winter pictures taken can be a seamless process. I have put together some tips for having a session/taking pictures in the snow to help you with this.
When to take pictures in the snow
Keeping track of the weather is one way to make sure your winter session can result in beautiful pictures. If you are booking with a photographer you will need to work with your photographer to book on a shorter notice schedule. It is hard to book winter sessions two months in advance as the weather can be detrimental during the winter months.

Using Accessories in your winter pictures
Really emphasize the winter accessories when planning outfits. Think cozy knit scarves, colourful coats, adorable boots, mittens and more.
Choose colours and prints that pop. The snow makes an all-white background and is absolutely beautiful, but having that pop of red or that flash of plaid can really make for the next level of photographs.
Plan the session out so that nobody gets fussy or too cold. Make sure that everyone’s dressed warmly. This includes your horse if it is clipped and normally wears a blanket. Knowing poses and locations ahead of time can reduce time outside.
Don’t be afraid to have fun in that snow. The possibilities are endless, and this should be all about having fun. Building a snowman and taking a picture beside it makes your pictures very unique.
Pack the necessities. Noses tend to run in the cold. Bring tissues, hand-warming packs, clean clothes and hot beverages to keep warm throughout the shoot.
Because it can be really cold, note that a shorter session may be in order. Make the most of your photos by using every single second efficiently, especially at the beginning of the session when you are still warm.
