The winter season requires everyone to stay home, enjoy the stillness, and all the snuggles with loved ones. Imagine the fire roaring, a nice cup of hot coffee or tea and being all snuggled up on the couch with your family. These types of days are fleeting and they deserved to be documented with a cozy winter lifestyle photo session. It’s the perfect way to preserve these moments to reflect on for years to come. This is why you should book a cozy winter lifestyle photo session today!
Comfort of Your Home
In this weather, the last thing you may want to do is venture out into the cold. The best part of in-home lifestyle sessions is being comfortable right in your own space. Capture your family in the space that truly feels like you. The kids will feel more at ease being in an enviroment they are familiar with and it will help make the session go so smoothly.
Being together in your home will help to create authenitc photos with genuine emotions. Maybe you have an activity you love to do together that you thought of right away. If not, don’t worry, there’s lots of things that feel like home. For example, snuggling on the couch, reading a story together, cooking or baking, playing a game, wrapping up in a cozy blanket, enjoying coffee with your significant other, etc. This is such a great opportunity to make the photos completely your own!
Cozy Winter Vibes
Do you dread traditional family photos because you hate getting all dressed up? Relax for this type of session and enjoy all the cozy winter vibes. I’ve put together a family style board to help inspire your cozy winter lifestyle photo session.
Mom Lounge Set | Dad Sweater | Girl Outfit | Boy Outfit | Gender Neutral Outfit
A couple of other great cozy lounge sets like the ones above include these from Amazon, Pink Blush, or even Abercrombie and Fitch (hello 90s babies!). I always recommend selecting your outfit first then build from there. Mom should always feel the most comfortable and confident in their styling, for more tips check out this blog post. Try looking for cozy sweaters, knits, and fuzzy socks create a visually enticing image. Add in a chunky knit throw blanket for even more texture to a few of your image like this one from Target.
Interested in cozy photos but not sure about wearing a lounge set for photos? I created this style board for you! It still gives all the cozy winter session vibes with a more elevated feel.
Dad Sweater | Baby Girl | Boy Sweater
For a more elevated vibe, I reccomend pairing a pretty dress or skirt with a cozy sweater. Instead of tights, grab a pair of cozy high knit socks and a romper to show off those baby rolls while you have them! If you want to incorporate a color, choose one that pairs well with colors already in your home. Or keep it neutral with a color drenched palate for the whole family.
How to Make These Photos into Timeless Memories
Once you’ve enjoyed a cozy winter lifestyle photo session, what should you do with your images? You could make a photo album that you and your children can look back on every year when you’re snowed in again. A family photo album is the ultimate coffee table book. Once your children have grown and moved out, putting this album out every winter will take you back the days of tiny feet running down the hall to jump in your lap and snuggle up.
Another idea, is displaying your art on your walls. What better way to showcase your family and your home than hanging artwork of your family in your home. Plus, it already matches the color palatte of you home!
