Snowball Minis are all about winter magic — crisp air, soft light, and that dreamy snowy backdrop on the mountain. What you wear plays a huge role in how your photos feel, so a little planning goes a long way in creating images you’ll absolutely love.

Here are a few simple tips to help you dress perfectly for your Snowball Mini:

Lean Into Winter Neutrals

Think cozy, classic, and timeless. Soft creams, tans, grays, muted blues, and warm browns photograph beautifully against the snow. These tones keep the focus on your faces while letting the winter setting shine.

Avoid neon colors or busy patterns that can distract from the moment.

Add Texture for Visual Interest

Winter is the perfect season for layers and texture:

  • Chunky knit sweaters

  • Wool coats

  • Quilted vests

  • Scarves, beanies, and earmuffs

These pieces add depth and warmth to your photos while keeping everyone comfortable.

Coordinate, Don’t Match

Instead of putting everyone in the same exact outfit, choose a color palette and build around it. For example:

  • Cream, tan, and soft blue

  • Gray, charcoal, and blush

  • Navy, camel, and ivory

Each person can wear something unique while still looking beautifully cohesive.

Footwear Matters

We’ll be in the snow, so opt for:

  • Neutral boots

  • Warm shoes without bright logos

  • Footwear that feels winter-appropriate

Comfort and warmth matter, especially for little ones.

Keep It Cozy & Comfortable

When everyone is warm, smiles come easier. Make sure kids have layers underneath and bring a jacket or blanket for in-between shots. Happy kids = better photos.


Your Snowball Mini is meant to feel magical, playful, and timeless. With the right outfits, your photos will look like they came straight out of a winter storybook — memories you’ll love pulling out year after year.
