As a Wisconsin Photographer who photographs countless families I have learned to find and embrace the beauty in each and every season Wisconsin has to offer.

It’s hard to ignore Wisconsin winter, in fact I’d say we are kind of known for them.
Nothing quite captures the essence of a joyful family gathering like an enchanting winter wonderland. The crisp white blanket of snow, the glistening icicles, and the rosy-cheeked smiles create a perfect setting for heartwarming family photos. At Kelly Jacobi Photography, I believe in capturing those precious moments that make your family unique. Whether it's a stroll through a snow-covered forest or a playful snowball fight, our team is dedicated to freezing those memories in time.
Embracing the Winter Magic for beautiful family photos in Wisconsin.
Winter might be the coldest season, but it offers warmth and nostalgia like no other. Picture a picturesque setting with snow-capped pine trees and a serene frozen lake as the backdrop. I know how to use the natural elements to their advantage, creating visual stories that celebrate both the beauty of the snow and the warmth of your loving family.
Here’s how I embrace our Wisconsin winters and make them magical for family photo:
Dressing for the Cold
While venturing out in the snow for family photos, it's crucial to dress to stay cozy and comfortable throughout the session. You can still wear something beautiful, I tell my clients to bring jackets, gloves, and even a blanket if they want for kids to snuggle between photos. I bring hand warmers for my clients.
Winter Style
Consider coordinating your outfits with vibrant colors to stand out against the snowy landscape. I have beautiful velvet dresses, bold flowy dresses that absolutely pop against the crisp white snow.
Scarves, mittens, and hats can add a touch of fun to the photos while keeping everyone warm. Have fun with it. Embrace the winter fashion and let it become a part of your family's story.
Embrace the Winter Fun
Snowy family photos are all about capturing the energy and joy of being together. Build snowmen, have snowball fights, or go sledding with your loved ones while our photographers capture the magic. I believe that the best moments are often unplanned and spontaneous. I always will make you feel at ease, encouraging genuine interactions and capturing those authentic moments that reflect the love your family shares.
Timing is Key
To make the most of the snowy landscape, it's essential to choose the right time of day for your family photoshoot. The soft, diffused light during the golden hour, just before sunset, adds a beautiful glow to the snow and enhances the overall ambiance. I will work with you to find the perfect balance between desired locations, weather conditions, and lighting for a memorable experience.
Winter Wonderland Locations
Wisconsin is blessed with enchanting winter wonderland locations. From snow-covered parks to frozen lakeshores, the possibilities are endless. Each location provides a unique setting that can enhance the storytelling aspect of family photos. Whether it's the laughter of children playing in the snow or the quiet moments shared by a family near a frozen pond, the winter setting becomes a character in the visual tale. Don’t forget, it’s also a perfect time to cozy up inside for an in-home session! Snuggling close, maybe making a fire, decorating cookies, the possibilities are endless. Many of my families who schedule a winter family photo session like to do two locations to have some outdoor photos in the beautiful snow, and then in-home for cozy and warm. It’s perfect for young children!
