Snow Day Sessions: Quick, Cozy, & So Much Fun
Indiana Winter Couples Session | Richmond, Indiana Photographer
There’s something about fresh Indiana snow that makes everything feel a little more magical: The world gets quieter. The light gets softer. And suddenly an ordinary afternoon turns into the perfect excuse to grab someone you love and go play outside for a few minutes.
That’s exactly what this session felt like.
We planned a simple, laid-back winter mini session on one of those bright, chilly snow days where the air is crisp but the sun was glowing. No big production. No complicated outfits. Just warm coats, a cute couple, and a little stretch of snowy road that turned into the sweetest backdrop.
And honestly? These are some of my favorite kinds of sessions.
Why Snow Day Sessions Are Kind of the Best
Indiana winters can be unpredictable. One day it’s gray and muddy, the next it looks like a Hallmark movie outside your window.
Snow day sessions are perfect for leaning into that magic without overthinking it.
PLUS These Are PERFECT Intro Sessions
• Short & sweet: quick sessions mean you’re not freezing for an hour
• Super cozy & candid: lots of snuggling, laughing, and staying close to keep warm
• Great for couples OR families
• A fun little date idea to get out of the house & play in the snow!
If you’ve been curious about working together but aren’t ready to commit to a full session yet, winter snow days are literally made for my Intro Sessions.
You don’t need a big plan. You don’t need multiple outfits. You don’t need perfect weather.
You just show up, snuggle your people, and let me capture it.
That’s why snowy mini-style shoots like this are a great way to introduce new clients to the Laini Photo experience. They’re a simple, stress-free way to get beautiful images without overthinking a thing.
If you’ve ever thought, “I just want to try this out first,” an Intro Session in the snow is the BEST place to start.

Perfect for Couples, BUT Also Amazing for Families
If you’ve been wanting updated photos with but don’t want anything fussy or formal, this is SUCH a fun way to do it.
Throw on your favorite coat, hold hands, walk through the snow (& maybe throw a little bit!), steal a few kisses, and suddenly you have cute updated photos together! These two absolutely nailed the “effortlessly adorable in the freezing cold” vibe. You can practically feel how warm and comfortable they are together in every image.
The Best Part? They Can Be Booked Last Minute
One of my favorite things about winter sessions is how spontaneous they can be.
If we get a beautiful snowfall and you think, “Wait… we should take photos,” you can absolutely reach out and grab a last-minute spot.
No months of planning required.
Just you, the snow, and a cozy little moment frozen in time.
Indiana winters don’t have to mean hiding indoors until spring.
Sometimes they’re the perfect excuse to slow down, hold someone you love a little tighter, and make memories that feel warm long after the snow melts.
If you want your own snow day session, for couples, families, or just because, I’d love to plan one with you 💛
