Hey, I'm Jay. I'm a dad of 3 gorgeous girls and a blue Staffy named Bonnie. I love photographing beautiful families just like yours. Are you ready to book in a family portrait session? Fill out your details and I'll give you a call.
When most people think of family photos, their minds go straight to golden leaves in autumn or blooming spring flowers. But here’s a little secret from behind the lens… winter is one of the most magical times for family photography. Yep, really!
If you’re not convinced, let me share a few reasons why a winter photo shoot might be exactly what your family needs right now – especially if you’re craving something relaxed, meaningful, and a little bit different.
1. The Light Is *Chef’s Kiss*
Winter sun sits lower in the sky, which means softer, more flattering light all day long – especially in the late afternoon. That dreamy golden glow? You don’t have to wait until 7pm for it (and the kids don’t have to stay up past bedtime to get it). My sunset winter sessions usually start at around 3pm – perfect for the little ones.
2. Cuddles Come Naturally
When it’s chilly out, everyone naturally leans in a little closer. Winter brings out those beautifully real, connected moments. And that’s exactly what I love to capture.
3. Style Without the Stress
Layers and textures – winter clothing photographs beautifully. It also means you don’t need to stress about being “photo ready” in a summer dress. Think warm tones and cosy jumpers.
4. Beat the Rush
Spring and autumn tend to book out fast, but winter is your chance to jump in before the crowd. It’s quieter, calmer, and perfect for families who want a relaxed experience without the seasonal chaos.
5. More Time to Plan Christmas Gifts
Getting your family portraits done now means you’ll be ahead of the game when it comes to holiday gifting and wall art planning. No scrambling in October – just beautiful images, ready to be turned into something special.
So if you’ve been putting off your family photo session… maybe winter is your season.
I’m currently taking bookings for both outdoor and in-studio sessions, and I’d love to help you create photos that feel like you – natural, warm, and full of connection. Drop me a message today and let’s lock in a date.
