I was quoted in a write up by Bill Jacobs for tips on winter photography. Below is my part, but to see even more tips, check out the whole article HERE.

Winter can be a time of wonder and beauty. The snow covers the ground, ice hangs from the trees, and our families are bundled up and exploring the outdoors. Capturing these moments can create memories that last a lifetime.

While most of us aren’t professional photographers, there are still steps we can take to make beautiful pictures that will let us always remember these fleeting moments. We reached out to some of the best photographers in Naperville and the surrounding area and asked for their advice on taking the perfect winter photos. Learn what these photo masters have to say and turn your photos into cherished keepsakes!

“Appreciate the winter landscape by not competing with its simplicity.  When the world is bathed in white, you can get gorgeous images by keeping everything subtle in colors with just a bold pop here or there.  For example, keep people in whites, creams, or light greys, so they stand out more.  If you go with bold colors, you focus on the clothes, and not the people.  Also remember that when there is snow on the ground, it acts as a reflector, bouncing light back up, giving you more light than you would have in other seasons.  If you want to take good portraits, be sure to keep children warm – no one wants red and runny noses.”
