Magical Winter Photoshoots

Hey Mama,

I’m Courtney Blury. Okay, wow… it feels a little strange introducing myself with my full name but I promise it is for a good reason. You see, my business name is BLURY PHOTOGRAPHY, not to be confused with blurry, meh photos and films, but incredible, loved-up, emotive, raw family-centric memories which will leave you feeling all the feels. If you’re looking for a Brisbane Family Photographer and Filmmaker (specialising in Motherhood, Newborn, and Maternity Imagery) then you’ve found yourself in the right place. My team and I would love to create some magical winter photoshoots!

Winter in Australia is a unique time, especially here in Brisbane where our winters are mild but still bring a certain crispness to the air that makes for stunning photographs. Whether you’re capturing the joy of a family gathering, the beauty of a maternity shoot, or the precious first moments of a newborn, winter photoshoots offer a special charm. Here’s how you can make the most out of your winter photoshoots!

Embracing the Beauty of Winter

Winter photoshoots have a unique allure. The softer, diffused light, the chance to bundle up in cozy layers, and the opportunity to capture the essence of the season in your photos all contribute to the magic. Here in Brisbane, our winters aren’t as harsh as in other parts of the world, but they still provide a beautiful backdrop for your special moments.

My Top 3 Tips for Planning Photos in Winter

Layers are Key!

When planning your magical winter photoshoots, dressing appropriately is crucial. The cooler weather means you’ll need to think about warmth and comfort, especially as the sun sets and temperatures drop. Layers are your best friend! Not only do they keep you warm, but they also add depth and texture to your photos.

For the little ones, keeping warm is vital. You can have them dressed in adorable, snug outfits, and let them move around to stay warm. And let’s be honest, our Brisbane winters really aren’t that bad, are they? It’s all about being prepared and embracing the chill with a positive spirit.

Opt for a Studio Session

If the cold really does bother you, you’re in luck! We have a beautiful, warm studio space right in the heart of Brookwater. Our studio is the perfect haven for your newborn, family, or maternity session. It’s cozy, comfortable, and equipped with everything we need to create stunning photos.

Studio sessions are a fantastic option for those who prefer to stay indoors during the winter months. You get to enjoy the warmth while still capturing those precious moments. Plus, with our professional lighting and setups, your photos will have that perfect touch, regardless of the weather outside.

Bring Some Blankets

Blankets are a fantastic addition to your magical winter photoshoots. Not only do they keep everyone warm, but they also add a cozy, intimate feel to your photos. A chunky knit blanket or something similar can be used for cuddly shots or in-between moments, creating a beautiful, homely vibe.

One of my all-time favorite photos is from a family session where we used a gorgeous knit blanket. The warmth and love captured in that shot are unparalleled. Blankets help to create a sense of closeness and comfort, making your photos even more special.

Making the Most of Your Winter Photoshoot

Winter photoshoots can be incredibly rewarding. The key is to embrace the season and make the most of the unique opportunities it offers. Here are a few more tips to help you plan the perfect winter photoshoot:

1. Pick the Best Time of Day

The lighting in winter can be quite different from other seasons. The sun is lower in the sky, creating softer, more diffused light that is perfect for photos. Aim for a time when the light is at its best, usually in the morning or late afternoon. This will help you capture beautiful, warm tones in your photos.

2. Incorporate Seasonal Elements

Winter offers a range of unique elements that can enhance your photos. Think about incorporating seasonal touches like warm drinks, scarves, hats, and even seasonal foliage. These elements can add a touch of winter magic to your photos and make them truly memorable.

3. Stay Flexible and Have Fun

Winter weather can be unpredictable, so it’s important to stay flexible. If you’re planning an outdoor shoot, have a backup plan in case of rain or particularly cold weather. And most importantly, have fun! The best photos are often the ones where everyone is relaxed and enjoying themselves.
