Snowy Winter Family Session – Bend Oregon Photographer
This was an entertaining and chilly winter family session at a Sno-Park in beautiful Bend, Oregon. As a local photographer in Bend, Oregon I had worked with Annie several months prior and captured the milestone of her senior year with a senior photo session. When Mom reached out to book a family portrait session I was thrilled. Her one request was she wanted snow for their winter family photo session. After a couple reschedules due less than ideal rainy conditions our schedules and the weather gods aligned. The winter scene was picture perfect!
We drove outside of Bend to a favorite Sno-Park and had fun playing in the snow. Some of us enjoyed the experience more than others, so please dress accordingly for those winter sessions. The family’s color palette of red, navy and cream was the perfect pop of color against the snow covered trees. Right as we were headed back to the car the sky opened and it began to snow pretty hard. Don’t forget you’ll need a parking permit for the Sno-Parks around Bend. You can find more information Sno-Park parking permits here.
