Saturday night we had the blizzard of the century on the East Coast. . .So the Siebers decided that was the perfect time to get their family photo done. Lucky for us the storm missed and we only had 3 inches of snow but boy was it cold outside. It made for a very crisp photoshoot but created a plethora of great photos. I just love this family!

This is what happens when siblings and snow are in the same general area:

This is NOT my first time photographing this family. They were my first family when I started to pursue photography more seriously and I've been photographing the littlest one since she was in the womb. They are such a sweet family and great to work with!

It has been a beautiful fall this year. The weather has just been fabulous and I've really appreciated the snow holding off for so long and the tempeture staying moderate. It's made it possible for me to get more location photos in. Saturday I was able to squeeze 2 more families in before the snow started to fall. The first was a beautiful family from my church. Everytime I photograph something now I find myself having a new learning experience. My first teenage girl, My first wedding, my first family, my first baby, it seems like this whole year has been a huge growing experience and a year of firsts. For this photoshoot I had 2 firsts, 1- Teenage boys and 2- one of the children was taller than a parent. But I had a great time and learned a lot. You guys are a beautiful family and one of my favorite photoshoots yet! Thanks for being great and coming out in the cold.

It was a crazy, windy, blustery day on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. But I'm glad this family could make it out and get their photos taken. Thanks!
