G reached out a few weeks ago, as he wanted to gift a maternity session for his girlfriend. He was looking for someone that works in the outdoors, whose pictures have a natural feel to them. Of course, I was in! Now back to when the 3 of us started chatting, it was still autumn and golden leaves all around. We were hoping to get some of that cosy autumn feeling, incorporating their van in the pictures. But the weather decided otherwise: a week before the shoot in November, heavy snow fell in the mountains, closing a lot of moutain roads, and we had to pivot to another location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A lot of mountain roads and mountain passes in Switzerland close at the end of October<\/strong>, or as soon as the first snow arrives, which can be a bit tricky. Luckily, there are always backup locations that stay accessible the whole year. With G & N, we still had to walk in the snow for about 20-30 minutes to get to that spot, which was part of the fun in my opinion! But if you need something 100% accessible, make sure to let your photographer know about that. Someone local will usually know the area pretty well, and will advise you honestly on where to go and what to expect.<\/p>\n\n\n
