A Winter Session/ Hudson Valley Photographer

Writer's picture: Anne RaftopoulosAnne Raftopoulos

After the holidays, the lull of January convinces most people that they have to wait until summer for their photo session, but this Hudson Valley photographer thinks there is plenty magic in a winter session.


Why do a winter session in the Hudson Valley? Your family is the same wonderfully unique and crazy bunch, no matter what time of year it is, haha! Maybe you missed the holiday sessions, but especially if you have little ones, time flies and kids grow like weeds. As one who is obsessed with missing a moment catching my kids at every age is a must for me.


It's also a great time for different adventures. Now, we are in a particularly brutal cold spell, but every winter has it's warmer days, it's days full of snow and sledding, or even just walks through a quiet, sleeping forest. These were taken at Staatsburg State Historic Site about 10 minutes drive from Rhinebeck (https://www.hudsonrivervalley.com/sites/Staatsburgh-State-Historic-Site-/details).


This session was shot at Staatsburg State Historic Site. It is a bit of a trek to the beach, but it is well worth it. We brought coats along for the ride and since the kids, it seems extraordinarily never feel the cold, had an amazing time exploring the water and enjoying mom and dad cuddles.


For me, it's all about growth, in 6 months time the youngest will look so much bigger, he'll be crawling or even walking, moving slowly out of babyhood. I'm just obsessed with capturing every step, which may not be for everyone, but for moms especially, who often don't get time in the limelight, pictures with our little ones are so important. So, next time you look at your not so little kiddos, remember there is a Hudson Valley photographer that will be the cold for a winter session.
