The most popular time of year for outdoor photos is typically in Spring and Fall. During these seasons, the weather is mild and the scenery is beautiful. However, the ideal time in your pregnancy for a photo session doesn’t always fall during those seasons. While not all moms-to-be are excited about winter maternity sessions, there are a few reasons why this might be the perfect time to book your session with us!
Colors
In winter, you’ll find a lot of earthy muted colors in our photos. These are the colors that look best when paired with the browns in the background. Cream, grey, tan, green, and blue all look nice.
We also love to use cream in our maternity sessions as well. Cream-colored clothing can add so much lightness to an image. Whether it is sunny or cloudy during the session, light and muted colors can really bring an airiness to the whole session!
Mild Weather
Winter in Raleigh is typically pretty mild, so you can wear less layers and just bundle up between photos. You can still get beautiful photos without worry of snow, or heavy clothes that are too bulky for your child to be comfortable.
Because there are few leaves on the trees, the light shines through clear and beautiful on sunny days, making for beautiful bright photos!
Laura Karoline Photography has a few go-to locations in the Raleigh area for beautiful photo sessions during the Winter months.
Clothes
You know that dress you have that makes you feel beautiful and sleek, but sometimes it’s just not practical? Or the onesie that’s super soft and cute, but if it gets a little chilly during the shoot, it’ll be too warm. The solution? Choose clothes that are both comfortable and stylish. Look for pieces that are breathable and can be layered easily if needed!
When choosing what to wear during your Winter maternity session in Raleigh, think about what colors will look good against the winter backdrop. Typically the scenery looks blueish and grey, but on sunny days the golden light is beautiful!
It’s pretty obvious, but the winter weather gives a unique look to your maternity photos that you just can’t get any other time of the year.
