Utah Mountain Family Photography - What to Wear

Big Cottonwood Canyon is the perfect place for Utah Mountain Family Photography. It’s that time of year again when the world transforms into a winter wonderland. When the opportunity arises for capturing those family photography moments in the snow you must take it. As you gear up for your snowy photography session, I’ve got your back with some essential tips.

Dress for Success

Layering isn’t just a fashion statement; it’s a survival tactic. Dress your little ones (and yourself) with thermal base layers, insulated jackets, boots, and cozy accessories like gloves and hats. Trust me, a warm and comfortable crew is a happy crew. This family had the perfect outfits for photos in the Utah Mountains of Jordan Pines. You can shop similar looks HERE.

Stay Flexible on Start Time

Unlike rain, snow isn’t going to ruin your family winter session, it can actually add to the photos, so don’t sweat it if the forecast predicts snow. You may want to move up your session slightly, though, so you have enough light.

Embrace the Chill

Encourage your kiddos to embrace the cold have fun in the snow, especially at the end of the session (and not the beginning). Genuine laughter and rosy cheeks add a natural charm to your photos that simply can’t be staged. Let them run, play, and explore while your photographer captures the magic of the moment.

Personal Touches To Stay Warm

Elevate your snowy photography session with a cozy blanket that your family can wrap up in either in the photos, or when it’s not their turn. You can put hand warmers in pockets too if it’s especially cold.

Embrace Spontaneity

Finally, don’t be afraid to go with the flow and embrace the unpredictability of winter photography. Some of the most memorable moments happen when least expected, trust your photographer and keep your heart open to whatever the day may bring.

With these tips in your arsenal, you’re well-equipped to embark on a snowy photography adventure that will result in cherished memories for years to come.
