A Winter Family Session | Benton Louisiana Family Photographer – North Louisiana Lifestyle Family and Newborn Photographer

Portraits in the winter in Louisiana can be a little drab sometimes as we do not have much snow, we have no mountains, and a lot of trees with bare leaves. Thankfully, sometimes there is an excecption and the images look beautiful! These made the expection. We had a few trees that stil had a little amount of leaves on them and the sun shining through them made the difference!! Sometimes winter can be dark and gloomy, but other times the sun shines beautifully!!

I arrived at Melissa’s home about 15 minutes early to scout out the area and find the right spots we would need to be in. As were scouting around, we were stopped by a sweet old man wondering who in the world we were and what we were doing. HAHA!! He was nice, thankfully! We just explained the situation and he was totally ok with us snooping around. HA!

The session was off to great start and even the llittl pup, Maggie gave us some smiles! That’s a good sign, right?! I think so too! As the sun began to drop, so did the temp but everyone was a champ and you can’t even tell we were chilly! That’s always a plus. Also, for any of you from up north, don’t laugh at us for being chilly in 50 degree weather. I know that feels amazing to you! HAHA!

After using as much of their yard as I thought we could, we walked over to the boat dock and were able to get a few beautiful portraits of Melissa and Wesley there. The light was little tricky but I think we made it work wonderfully!

Thank y’all so much for trusting me with your family portraits! Y’all did so good and made my job so easy!!
