The Perfect Season | Melbourne Family and Newborn Photographer

Is winter the perfect season???

So if you've known me for awhile, you'll know I'm a pretty big fan of warm weather and long days spent out in the sunshine. When I get cold, I feel it in my bones, so needless to say winter and I aren't always the best of friends.

But, I'm also the first to admit that winter has more than a few benefits (hello, soup season!).

And, even though winter is the perfect time to schedule an in-home session, it also makes a great season for an OUTDOOR SESSION (I know, who would’ve thought?!?!).

If you don’t believe me, here are a few reasons why:

❄️Sunset is early so there is no need for a late bedtime for little ones. You can have your session, watch the sunset and be home in time for dinner!
❄️The sun is lower in the sky resulting in truly beautiful light, and the sunsets are often AH-MAZING!
❄️The colder temps are often only first thing in the morning and late in the evening. At sunset, it’s usually not all that cold!
❄️Any location you choose won’t be as busy as in spring or summer…sometimes you’ll even have the place to yourself!
❄️If it rains, is crazy cold or windy, your session won't be miserable, we'll just reschedule and wait for a better day.

But maybe you’d rather be indoors where it’s warm and toasty (I get that too!).

So here are a few reasons why I ALWAYS love IN-HOME SESSIONS:

🏠Your favourite things, your kids' toys, your food (yay to snack time, treats and coffee during your session!) are all at your fingertips.
🏠We can capture the details of your everyday life...the nook you read to you children in, the chair you sit in multiple times a day to feed your baby, the bath you wash your kids in, the sofa you all snuggle on together for movie nights, the decorations in your kids' rooms and art work on the walls, the dirty feet from running around in the garden with the dog, the kitchen you spend hours upon hours in.
🏠Everyone is most comfortable at home.
🏠 Your home is where your REAL memories take place, it's where your story happens.
🏠There really is no place like home!

So there you have it, just a few benefits to a winter session both OUTDOORS and IN-HOME.

So, is winter the perfect season???

I’ll leave that up to you to decide, but I will always say that the perfect season for a session is right now!
