A cold but beautiful outdoor Maternity Photoshoot at Lake Erie | Mentor Ohio Maternity Photographer

I’ve always love having outdoor maternity shoots in the middle of winter. The snowy backgrounds always create the beautiful backdrop for maternity shoots. A beautiful growing family met me at Lake Erie Bluffs near Mentor Ohio. They also brought their 2 cute dogs along for the shoot. When we arrived the wind was howling over the lake and we were in a snap of the frigid temps. The dogs of course were loving being outside in the snow and running around. We quickly took some shots with the pups and put them back in the car.

We then made our way down to the frozen lake. It was really beautiful seeing Lake Erie completely frozen over! Megan also loved drift wood, so we were lucky enough to see driftwood still scattered throughout the frozen banks. Did I mention at this point, the wind is still howling, lol! They were both a trooper with the cold. I must say though this might have been the coldest day I have ever shot photos in. I’ve been doing outdoor shoots for over 7 years now.

WE continued throughout the shoot taking beautiful images along the frozen water! If you are expecting and thinking about maternity photos. I do offer both indoor and outdoor maternity sessions. I hope by reading this, the outdoor winter sessions are very possible!

Have a good day,
