Let it snow Let it Snow Let it Snow

 

A few weeks ago we called for your favorite snow photos on our Facebook page. While there were so many great images I was stricken with this series from Clair at Marika Photography.

 

The talented Claire gave us some great tips for photographing in the snow:

 

1- Try to think of the snow as one giant soft reflector.

 

2- Know that your camera's batteries will drain more quickly in the cold and be prepared with backups ifyou're going to be shooting for a while.

 

3- Dress warm! This is one situation where professionalism can take a back seat to functionality. Besides, you won't seem very professional if you're too cold to hold a camera steady.

 

4- Also, make sure to manage your client's expectations. It will be cold, they won't be able to wear heels, and their noses might end up being a little red  I lucked out and was able to do this session with an exceptionally cool and fun couple.

 

Thank you Claire for the beautiful images and tips!
