There is a cold front moving into Texas this weekend, with a ‘chance’ of wintery weather. In Texas that could mean anything from one small snowflake, lots of ice, or to inches of snow. So while everyone is planning on getting milk and bread, I am making sure that I have everything I need to make some photographs.
Did you know bubbles freeze? And when they freeze they create beautiful designs? I am still working on getting the perfect frozen bubble. And man it is fun trying.
Don’t be afraid to take out your drone! This one was one of my favorites of my kiddos making snow angels. Just make sure to keep an extra eye on your drone in the cold.
Another drone image at a local park.
This was taken in Rocky Mountain National Park in March. It was our last day and the most beautiful large snowflakes began to fall.
The images below are some of my favorite. This was during the 2021 Snowmageddon in North Texas. We had the opportunity to go outside while the sun was setting and I simply documented the kiddos playing.
Now what if it only snows a little bit. This was 2022 and it didn’t snow a lot, as you can tell from the grass that wasn’t fully covered. But we still went outside to get some photographs at a local park.
Here are a few tips of photographing in the snow.
-watch your camera, there have been a few times I bent down to get a shot and my camera went down into the snow
-watch your settings, snow will reflect a lot so you don’t want to blow out the whites
-make portraits of your kiddos, but make sure you let them play and document them having fun in the snow.
-make sure your kiddos have some warm clothing on! It does get cold and they need to be prepared.
-if you are wearing gloves make sure they have the ‘tech’ fingers.
-your camera may get cold and freeze up. Give it a minute to warm back up, it will be ok.
