It's a tish early, but I prefer outdoor photos and I love the changing color leaves around that time of year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-photo-options-in-winter#post-1814477 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 15:43:01 +0000 tysonja 1814477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would still go outdoors :) our family pictures (Vancouver in feb = rain) the other year were on a dreary day, but they have a nice calm + muted feeling to them :). a great excuse to wear knee high leather boots and layers! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-photo-options-in-winter#post-1814445 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 15:28:36 +0000 gingerbebe 1814445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know where in MI you are, but do you have a botanical garden nearby? My inlaws live near Grand Rapids, so the Mejier Gardens come to mind! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-photo-options-in-winter#post-1814098 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 13:22:22 +0000 travelgirl1 1814098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did our shoot on A's birthday, November 6, and were so lucky to have a freakishly nice day so we did them in a park and they came out great. Do you have a park nearby with a pavilion to shelter under? That way if it rains you're covered! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-photo-options-in-winter#post-1814081 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 13:16:50 +0000 lawbee11 1814081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: Do you have a fireplace at your house? I think cozy pics of y'all in front of the fireplace (with a big blanket and some pillows on the ground?) would be super cute for November pics! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-photo-options-in-winter#post-1814071 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 13:14:37 +0000 Mommy Finger 1814071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also have a November baby and we did shots outside last year. We took a few shots with everyone bundled up in our coats. But then it was actually pretty warm out so we took our coats off and we had DS wear a vest instead. They looked great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-photo-options-in-winter#post-1813280 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:38:10 +0000 mrsjyw 1813280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Confetti: I haven't really asked her yet. I just sent an email asking about her studio sessions and she responded with the above, I am going to send her an email back today.</p> <p>@cheert16: library's a great idea! one of our fave spots. unfortunately no aquarium near us! :(</p> <p>@pui: would LOVE to do it at a local art museum! thanks!</p> <p>@Smurfette: I would really like to do some in our home, but also don't love my (lack of) decor! Def an option! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-photo-options-in-winter#post-1813277 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:37:52 +0000 Alivoo01 1813277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about an indoor play area or museum? Or a farm/barn?</p> <p>Coats in the outoor pix are super cute, but not sure how that might affect everyone's mood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-photo-options-in-winter#post-1813241 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:23:49 +0000 cheert16 1813241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Winter outdoor would be beautiful! Maybe you could do some outside by your house, then head indoors to do some?</p> <p>Maybe the library, or a children's museum? I think the aquarium would be cool- although I don't know if there is one around you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-photo-options-in-winter#post-1813232 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:19:51 +0000 Smurfette 1813232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a winter outdoor session would be cute! </p> <p>We ended up doing R's 1 yr session at our house since it was chilly still in the AM. Our photographers only shoots outside according to sunrise and sunset times. They were most of R but we did some family shots sitting on our bed. </p> <p>What if you did some shots of yall cooking together? Or playing in the playroom? More lifestyle then posed shots? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-photo-options-in-winter#post-1813227 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:18:15 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1813227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly a good photographer should have some ideas for you/help you brainstorm. </p> <p>An indoor conservatory would be a great option if you have one nearby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-photo-options-in-winter#post-1813218 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:16:04 +0000 pui 1813218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe go to a greenhouse/butterfly conservatory?</p> <p>Or a museum? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-photo-options-in-winter#post-1813214 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:14:16 +0000 mrsjyw 1813214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is a Nov baby and we are getting ready to schedule our annual family photo session. </p> <p>Last year, we did it in October so we would have the prints for his 1st bday party. It was rainy/cold, but we were able to do an hour shoot outdoors and got some pretty decent shots.</p> <p>I wanted to avoid the chance of weather being crappy per usual in MI at that time. Any ideas for where we could do an indoor family shoot and some solo shots of DS?</p> <p>We were originally just going to do photog studio pics but she recommended that they might look too posed for a family session because of the small space (as she usually does studio for solo baby sessions).</p> <p>What are some good indoor options? Or should we just do coats/boots (even though there probably won't be snow just yet). and do an outdoor session? </p>
