Iconic Locations for Your Winter Family Session
Searching for the perfect location? Jackson Hole has an abundance of truly iconic landmarks and hidden gems. Whether you picture an outdoor adventure among the snowy peaks or a warm, intimate moment fireside, TB Photography will work with you to find a setting as unique as your family.
Grand Teton National Park’s Unparalleled Beauty
The magic of the Tetons is undeniable, and winter only adds to their allure. As your seasoned family photographer, I’ll guide you to the best spots (and the right time of day) for a flawless, serene session:
Snake River Overlook: There’s nothing quite like the sweeping view here—the Snake River winding beneath the towering Tetons. It’s easy to reach and positively breathtaking, with that famous winter stillness in the air.
Schwabacher’s Landing: Even with a short trail walk from the parking lot, Schwabacher offers mirror-like reflections of the snowy mountains and cottonwoods. It’s a peaceful, quintessential Jackson setting for your family portrait.
Mormon Row Historic District: The historic barn and weathered outbuildings set against snow-covered peaks create a scene that’s both rustic and elegant. It’s a favorite spot for those wanting timeless, Wyoming-inspired family photos.
Glacier View & Windy Point Turnouts: Effortless access, incredible panoramas. These roadside overlooks make for a quick photoshoot, especially if you want dramatic views of Middle Teton and the Teton Glacier.
Sophisticated Indoor & In-Town Settings
When you’d prefer to step out of the snow, Jackson’s high-end accommodations and exclusive venues set the stage for elegant family portraits—no winter boots required.
The Cloudveil, Autograph Collection: Overlooking the lively Town Square, The Cloudveil offers modern mountain luxury with grand fireplaces, inviting lounges, and panoramic windows for warm, luminous portraits in the heart of Jackson.
Four Seasons Resort Jackson Hole: Imagine capturing your family in sumptuous lounges, beside roaring fireplaces, or in your private suite with sweeping Teton views. The Four Seasons blends classic ski-chalet glamour with contemporary elegance—an unforgettable backdrop for your portraits.
Luxury Residences: There’s nothing like the intimacy and comfort of your private villa or stunning mountain home. Whether you’d like to document family time in a plush great room or by the fire, luxury residences ensure utter privacy and a personalized touch.
The Antler Arch: Step onto Town Square and make memories beneath Jackson’s legendary antler arches—an iconic spot, especially magical when aglow during the holiday season. It’s a sophisticated yet playful symbol of your Jackson Hole adventure.
Jackson Hole Vintage Adventures: Add a unique twist to your shoot with Jackson Hole Vintage Adventures. Cozy up inside an elegant heated tipi, style your session around a vintage sleigh, or enjoy a fireside moment at their riverside yurt. It’s a blend of rustic Western charm and refined comfort—the ultimate family memory.
With TB Photography, you’ll enjoy an insider’s access to these luxurious in-town and indoor settings, ensuring your winter family photo session is as comfortable, elevated, and memorable as you desire—right in the vibrant heart of Jackson Hole.
Beyond the Park: Luxury Meets Adventure
Of course, Jackson’s charm doesn't end at park boundaries. Consider these beloved locations:
National Elk Refuge: Imagine your family gliding through a sparkling landscape in a horse-drawn sleigh—elk dotting the valley, mountains rising behind. This is winter wonderland at its most magical, with a safe distance from wildlife (and opportunities for candid moments you’ll never forget).
Teton Village: Nestled at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Teton Village is equal parts exclusive alpine haven and family playground. Snap cozy fireside photos, or catch a candid in the fresh snow near the lifts or the charming square.
Town Square and Antler Arches: The famous elk antlers - iconic antlers - all aglow for the holiday season—are a must-see (and must-photograph!) in the heart of Jackson. It’s a great spot for a portrait that says “we were here” in style.
With my local knowledge as the lead photographer at TB Photography, you’ll have help selecting those hidden gems and top locations that make your session truly bespoke.
What to Wear: Chic, Warm, and Effortless
Let’s talk style. Winter in Jackson Hole is about mastering sophisticated warmth. You’ll look amazing and stay comfortable—no shivering between shots.
Luxury Layers: Begin with soft merino or silk base layers, then add cashmere, fine wool, or plush down. Your outer layer—think tailored wool coat or an upscale parka—should feel as elegant as it is weatherproof. Keep palettes classic: warm creams, deep navy, or soft gray.
Rich Details: Incorporate textures like faux fur, leather accents, or velvet for a dash of richness. Jewel-toned scarves, suede boots, or a statement hat can add individual flair—perfect against snowy backdrops.
Sophisticated Coordination: Pick two to three complementary colors for a harmonious look without feeling too “matchy.” Accessories like cashmere hats, real-leather gloves, and chic boots are your secret weapons for both warmth and style.
For Outdoor Adventurers: Waterproof, insulated boots are a must for winter months—think form meets function as you stroll to the next beautiful location.
As your photographer, I can help consult on wardrobe and styling, ensuring your entire family feels confident and comfortable in every photo.
The Jackson Hole Winter Experience
Arriving in Jackson in the winter months, you’ll quickly sense it: crisp air that feels invigorating, snow quietly muffling the world, and none of the summer crowds. Here, your family can truly savor the moment—whether you’re capturing a peaceful scene at Glacier View, toasting cocoa in your suite, or marveling at bald eagles soaring above the Gros Ventre River.
Temperatures are usually below freezing, but with the right planning (and wardrobe), you’ll be perfectly at home in this winter paradise. Between your photo session and your time exploring, you can expect every detail of your Jackson experience to feel tailored, inviting, and luxuriously relaxing.
Luxe Accommodations for an Unforgettable Stay
Where you stay shapes your entire trip—so let’s ensure it’s every bit as memorable as your portraits.
The Cloudveil, Autograph Collection: Situated right on the historic Town Square, The Cloudveil blends contemporary style with mountain warmth. Spacious suites, custom décor, and a rooftop terrace offer impressive view of the Grand Tetons (and the bustle of Jackson below), placing you steps from the best shops, galleries, and the enchanting antler arches—an ideal choice for high-end families.
Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole: For ski-in/ski-out luxury, nothing compares. Direct access to the slopes, a soothing spa, and plush après-ski lounges invite you to unwind in style, while Teton views and gourmet dining make every moment picture-perfect.
