I'm not gonna lie...winter is my LEAST favorite season here in Illinois. It really wouldn't be all that bad if the winter wouldn't blow so bitterly. But I gotta admit there's just something magical about a winter session. Here's my top 6 reasons why you should do a winter session.
- Sweater Weather : winter attire can be dressed up or down and on non-windy days you can easily get away with just your warm sweater.
- Possibility of snow : Illinois weather can be pretty unpredictable no matter what the season but most winters we get at least one good snow day that is PERFECT for winter photos.
- Winter Lighting : The lighting is limited, subtle, and so soft on skin tones.
- Less Crowded : With it being colder temps most locations don't have as many people.
- Unique Backgrounds: Trees are bear, grass is brown, and the sky is softer even at sunset.
- Shorter Session: 30 minute sessions are the max amount of time I book during winter season. Mostly because it's cold but also because the days are shorter too so I'm not able to book as many hour sessions vs 30 minute sessions.
I hope these help convince you to book a winter session! Right now my 30 minute sessions are discounted for January, February, and March! Fill out the contact form here on my website for more info!
