We suggest these sessions for families with children all over the age of 3 as the temperatures can be quite cold in February and little ones have a hard time smiling and having fun when they are chilly. These sessions are best suited to children and families who love being outside no matter what the temperature. If it’s important to you to have a particular hairstyle or outfit for your photos, we recommend that you book an indoor studio session. It’s chilly for these sessions, necessitating coats, boots, and hats for photos.
