Winter in North Idaho brings a breathtaking snowy landscape, and if you have a snow-loving pup, it’s the perfect time for a photoshoot! Recently, I took my Siberian Husky, Floki, to Corbin Park for a dreamy winter session. At 8 years old, Floki is a true snow dog—he argues (loudly!) whenever it’s time to come inside because he loves the snow so much.
If you’re considering a winter dog photoshoot, here’s how to make it amazing!
Not every pup is a fan of winter weather. While the idea of a snowy photoshoot might sound magical, keep in mind that these sessions usually last an hour or longer. If your dog shivers at the first snowflake, they may not enjoy the experience.
But if your pup is like Floki—bounding through fresh snow, rolling in drifts, and refusing to come inside—then a winter session might be perfect! The title of snow dog isn't limited to Huskies, Malamutes, and other cold-weather breeds. Many dogs thrive in snowy conditions, but this is one place where all that hair you constantly have to lint-roll comes in handy.
Timing is everything! Freshly fallen snow creates a clean, crisp backdrop that looks stunning in photos. Once it gets trampled or turns to slush, it loses that winter wonderland effect.
If you’re scheduling with a professional photographer, have a flexible plan to head out shortly after a big snowfall. It’s worth it for those picture-perfect, untouched snow scenes.
Winter weather can be unpredictable, so preparation is key. Here’s what to consider before heading out:
Floki absolutely thrives in the snow, and his photoshoot at Corbin Park was pure magic. He pranced through the snow, posed like a pro, and even tossed in a few of his signature Husky “arguments” when I told him it was time to go home. If you’ve ever owned a Husky, you know exactly what I mean!
Seeing him in his element reminded me why I love winter dog photography so much—it captures their pure joy and wild spirit in the most beautiful setting.
If you have a pup who loves the snow as much as Floki does, a winter session is a fantastic way to capture their adventurous side. Whether at Corbin Park or another favorite Post Falls location, a snowy backdrop makes for stunning, one-of-a-kind photos.
Would your dog love a winter photoshoot?
