Wow winter just keeps on coming! We have gotten nearly 36 inches of snow in the past week, and it still continues to fall! It honestly hasn’t stopped snowing for more than a few hours at a time since the storm hit last week!

So between snowboarding in POWDER (yep that stuff we don’t see on the East Coast very often) and cooking, I somehow manage to have to fight cabin fever off with a camera! I guess that’s just the life of a photographer. Anyways, the one day we had blue skies for a few hours I ran out side and grabbed some photos of the farm I grew up on.

After a drive that typically takes me an hour took me more than twice that long, I ended up getting stuck on the road to my parents house and had to walk the last half mile through more than 18 inches of snow. The next day I got my car out of the snow and headed to Seven Springs for some great skiing. After I could barely stand from hours of riding powder, the sun came out and I had a chance to take some photos around my parents house as the sun was setting.

I even got some photos of Willie my Welsh Corgie enjoying the snow in the driveway because it was to deep for him where it wasn’t plowed.

Happy Snowy Saturday!

I love Christmas time. Not only because if the real meaning, and celebration, but because I get to spend time with my whole family, and its not just dinner. It’s a chance for us to catch up, and this year, since my parents have the far for sale, a chance to grab fun photos around the farm, and log that part of the legacy in the books.

So we started with a family photo, and then I got some of my mom and sisters together, and my mom and dad.

The three girls that never come in and out of my life :) and aren’t afraid to torture me when a new one enters.

I love these pictures of my parents! It shows their personalities so well, and it captures nearly two decades of winters on the farm.

Ellie and Krista live in D.C. now, so it was nice to grab a few portraits of them together on the farm.

Krista and dad used to spend mornings rowing on Donegal Lake, but since it was most likely frozen, this was a nice fun tribute.

Here is a fun slideshow of all of my favorite images from their winter engagement session running around Manhattan. I cant wait to get them into Pittsburgh for their Wedding at the Old Stone Church, and Longe Vue Country Club.

Enjoy!
