1. Earlier sunsets suit young families

In winter, the sun sets earlier which means you can get that beautiful golden light without messing with your kids’ dinner, bath, and bedtime routines. No overtired meltdowns, just happy kids and relaxed parents.

2. Lush green backdrops

Unlike the dry, burnt tones of summer, winter in Perth brings fresh greenery and soft, moody skies. It’s the perfect time of year for those rich, lively tones.

3. Cooler temperatures... and less bugs!



Nobody likes getting sweaty before the first shot is even taken. In winter, everyone’s more comfortable and rugged up, meaning less stress and even more genuine smiles. And the biggest bonus of all... No flies. You won’t be swatting away those eyeball targeting suckers between shots and I won't be editing them out later which means you get your gallery back even faster!

4. Winter wardrobes photograph beautifully

Think cozy knits, layered textures, scarves, and boots; just perfect for creating a snuggly, connected vibe in your photos. Plus, you'll often find that winter clothes align better with muted, earthy tones that photograph so well so your wardrobe will be even easier to source.

5. Life only gets busier later in the year

Once spring hits, life ramps up! There are school events, sports windups, end-of-year parties, and all of the Christmas chaos. Booking a winter session means you’re ahead of the game before the calendar gets out of control. You'll thank yourself later when your photos are already done and dusted, printed and ready for gifting!

6. More session availability and flexibility



Winter has historically been a quieter season for photographers which actually blows my mind! But I suppose, unlike you, other families haven't yet read this article, so they just don't know! This bodes well for you though because you're more likely to get your ideal date and location. Less competition means more flexibility for you.
