7 Tips for Preparing for Your Winter Session | Boulder City Photogapher | Las Vegas Photographer

Some people shy away from winter sessions because, well, it's cold. But winter sessions make for some prime photo ops, so don't write off the brr months.

1. Keep tracking the weather. Those winter days around here can be either amazing or downright freezing, but our beautiful desert landscape always provides a stunning backdrop. On occasion we do have to reschedule due to wind or rain.

2. Really play up the winter accessories when planning outfits. Think cozy knit scarves, colorful coats, adorable boots, mittens and more.

3. Plan the day out so that nobody gets fussy or too cold. A bribe of hot chocolate after the session goes a long way. Also make sure that everyone's dressed warmly.

4. Don't be afraid to have fun. The possibilities are endless and this should be all about having fun. 

5. Choose colors and prints that pop. A muted desert background is absolutely beautiful, but having that pop of red or that flash of teal can really make for a gorgeous photograph.

6. Pack the necessities. Noses tend to run in the cold, and the occasional windy day makes it even colder. Bring tissues, hand-warming packs, warm clothes and hot beverages to keep everyone perky throughout the shoot.

7. 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 to the max, especially at the beginning of the session when everyone's still warm and spirits are particularly high.
