4. Jazzy on the inside
Perhaps your family is full of indoor people looking for family winter photoshoot ideas that don’t involve going outside. Just because they want to stay inside doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate the seasons with something special. For the indoor kids, we recommend finding an exotic interior space that is the opposite of your own home’s style to give your family a break from being cooped up. Looking for something frilly and ostentatious in Miami? Look no further than this luxurious pad in Coral Way, Miami.
5. Penthouse overlook
What’s more beautiful than the snow-capped peaks of your city’s tallest buildings? To celebrate the season, consider taking your family to a penthouse overlooking the wintery cityscape. This background is impressive regardless of the season but is especially magical in winter. In Portland? Check out this comfortable and stylish penthouse overlooking the downtown area.
6. Let the light in
The winter season is marked by shortened days and less daylight. While this can be a drag, we encourage you to take advantage of what light there is and to make the most of this with one of the more optimism-inspiring family winter photoshoot ideas. You’ll want a space with factory windows that’s not overshadowed by nearby buildings. For those in Seattle, this light and airy loft might be ideal.
7. Humor in dark times
During the winter months, our grandparents probably sat around an actual fireplace, warming their chilly fingers. Now, with the advent of gas, electric, and steam heating, a fireplace is less necessary. This does nothing to detract from how enchanting a fireplace can be in the winter. For this shoot, we recommend pulling up a looped video of a fireplace on a TV and photographing your family trying to warm their hands in front of the screen. Don’t have a TV? This Ann Arbor home is equipped with a beautiful flat screen and is available to rent by the hour.
8. Rocky on the inside
It’s hard to be motivated to go outside and exercise when it’s 10 degrees below. But what if you could get your family going with an indoor shoot doing an outdoor activity? For this photoshoot, you’ll take your family to an indoor rock wall. Looking for a rock wall? Look no further than this fully equipped rock wall climbing facility in Cleveland.
9. Build a snowman
Building a snowman (or snowwoman) requires collaborative effort and teamwork and is a terrific winter activity for the family. It’s fun for all ages and forces everyone to get outside for some quality time. However, some of us don’t have a yard or access to an open space with snow. Well, there are plenty of suburban/rural homes to rent for the day, and none more perfect for this activity than this beautiful and intimate suburban homestead outside Boston.
10. Rooftop snow garden
Snow in the garden is quite a spectacle and is an interesting mesh of colors, textures, and environments. While going in the woods in winter may be too spooky, a wintery garden has a much more inviting and controlled atmosphere. Although Nashville may not get much snowfall, what little snow it does get, you’ll want to capture in this wintery and wonderful shoot at this urban rooftop garden.
