So my client-to-be said, "I was thinking snow and the lake." I thought, 'Yeah, that does sound like you guys. Great idea!' Little did I know that Colorado's highly unpredictable weather would become even more so as the month of November passed. We can almost be certain that we'll have snow here the week after Halloween. SURELY, we'd have snow by mid-November. Nothing. Nada. Not only was it not snowing, but we were also breaking heat records! Crazy! No, snow, no rain and unusually wonderful fall weather. I was really torn between wanting to get their Christmas photos done for them timely and well, getting out there and purely enjoying the fantastic weather we were having! Alas, the trend broke. It was 80 on Wednesday afternoon and by Thursday afternoon it was snowing. Nobody thought it would stick-- even the forecasters (because they always get it right, right?!) said that it wouldn't even really stick on the grass. Oh, how wrong they were. The temperatures plummeted into the 20s and sure enough, it did stick to the ground. Yay for my client and her snow pictures! Oh wait-- somebody has to take those 'snow pictures'. Oh no, wait! That someone is me! And remembering my last snow session and my wet pants, I broke loose from all professional attire and donned snow pants. Yes, snow pants! Ok, no, there wasn't 3' of snow, but you must realize the crazy positions I get into during a session. Better safe than wet pants at 21 degrees! My clients were brave-- they took off their jackets and everything. Wow-- that's devotion to getting that great photo. Despite the wicked cold temps, it was a great session. The puppies were even cooperative-- but I think they were actually just frozen into position. Thanks, guys, for your devotion to making this session happen. Hopefully you've started to regain feeling in your fingertips by now.....
And, of course, no portrait session would be complete without some wall art suggestions!
