Cozy Family photo session at home, Jersey City, NJ.

This year we got so lucky to witness so much snow this winter. Wow! I can hardly remember when was the last time I've seen all the giant piles of snow outside, the children having fun while making a snowman.

On the other side, the winter and its dreamy snowy weather, it can be a challenge to schedule a Family photo session with a little kid outside. Your beloved child can easily become a snowman itself, with all the clothes you will put on to keep him or her warm enough to last through a couple of hours of the photoshoot.

7 Family-friendly activities during a photography session.

Today I want to share some of my favorite activities that also provide plenty of beautiful photo opportunities as well as lots of family fun.

It can be berry picking or flower picking. Depending on a season, you can pick whatever your little ones desire the most. A trip to the apple orchard is always a great way to spend an afternoon with your family and your photographer. It's also fun for the kids. They can be involved in the process, which gives your photographer a better chance to capture these candid moments. Plus, a great bonus here, you can score those yummy organic apples from your favorite farm. And maybe even bake something even more delicious later. Which leads us to the second activity on our list.

Not only that the family I’ve met with, was the most charming ( I still think I’ve met a doppelgänger of my own dad!) and punctual (with 2 toddler kids on board, just imagine). But also it was the warmest day in the middle of winter. Almost 70 degrees in January! Whaaat?!
