Braving the frosty 3-degree weather, this family gathered on the iconic Fairview Lift Bridge for a Thanksgiving photo session. Even though it was cold, the session was full of warmth and togetherness.
The historic steel structure provided a striking backdrop, contrasting beautifully with the family’s cozy layers and bright smiles. Despite the chill in the air, their joy and connection radiated through every frame.
We didn’t spend long on the bridge—it was freezing up there! After capturing some beautiful moments, we moved to a slightly warmer spot near the riverbank. These images highlight the family’s closeness and love, set against the stunning backdrop and the frosty landscape. The bridge’s towering structure and icy reflections create a picturesque setting, perfectly complementing the warmth of the family.
As the golden sunlight peeked through the trees, we found this cozy spot near the base of the bridge. The rustic wood and bare branches added a touch of charm to the wintry scene, making these moments feel even more intimate. Despite the cold, the family’s genuine laughter and warmth shone through, creating some of the most heartwarming images of the session.
As we moved up to the hill, we captured some quiet, intimate moments with just mom and dad. The sweeping view of the Fairview Lift Bridge and the frozen landscape added a sense of grandeur to their portraits, while their warmth and connection brought a perfect balance of tenderness. This serene setting provided the ideal backdrop to highlight their enduring love and partnership.
On the hill, we took some time to capture sweet connections within the family. Mom and her daughters shared a lovely moment together, their smiles glowing against the snowy backdrop and the iconic bridge. We also spotlighted a fun, candid moment between siblings, radiating a playful energy that perfectly contrasts the serene landscape. These photos celebrate not just the season but the bonds that make it special.
We ended the session with a final family photo, capturing everyone together against the sweeping view of the Fairview Lift Bridge and the frozen river below. Their coordinated smiles and natural warmth brought the perfect close to this chilly but unforgettable day. This Thanksgiving session was a beautiful reminder that even in the coldest moments, love and connection can bring all the warmth you need.
