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,

Luxury Newborn Session - Cleveland Ohio Best Newborn Photographer
Cleveland Ohio Best Newborn Photographer. Creating timeless and everlasting newborn portraits. It is alway an honor and privilege to capture newborn portraits for families. This is such a special time in someone’s life and meant to be cherished or years to come. They grow so very quickly and those precious first few weeks of the newborn stage is really like no other. Their tiny hands, toes and wrinkly skin are so adorable.
So when is the best time for Newborn Portraits?
I also recommend anytime from day 6-day 15 of the baby’s life. That timeframe gives us enough room to adjust the photos in the calendar if needed. I also pick a date of the newborn shoot prior to the birth of the baby. However if the baby arrives late or early it’s not a problem! We can simply adjust the date. I always highly recommend shooting the portraits before 1 month of age. It’s hard to believe, but baby’s do change a lot the first month! They are also much more aware of their surroundings and harder to capture in those traditional newborn poses.
Are you expecting and ready to book?
Please reach out and I’d love to send you my exclusive newborn brochure which is filled with tips on having a successful newborn shoot. It covers everything from what to wear and what to bring to the shoot.
