11 Wintery Snow Photoshoot Ideas To Celebrate The Season

Looking for some sweet and unique snow photoshoot ideas? We get it! Winter is a beautiful season for a photoshoot, from the winter solstice until the first day of spring. There is just a certain allure to capturing snow-covered tree landscapes, the laughter that comes with a good snowball fight, and the rosy red cheeks of a child as they meticulously craft the season’s first snowman.

But how to get started with your own wintery shoot? Here are a few of our favorite snow photoshoot ideas for you to try out this winter, with venues available for you to rent by the hour on Peerspace.  

1. Set off on snowshoes
