I had just spent a great weekend in beautiful Island Park and just loved the way the trees looked as the snow clung to them and thought, "Man, wouldn't it be fun to do a family session in the woods up here?" when Heather messaged me for winter family pictures. I kind of joked about it with her and before we knew it, we had a plan. So, the day we planned to drive the hour trip one way to our location, our humble little town was looking a bit frightful. We had snow and wind and no sure way to know what the weather would be like in Island Park. Weather reports showed us to be in the clear a little so we trudged on. 

IT WAS PERFECT. Not too cold, which was nice for our little ones. 

So, I get to the location I want to shoot at, jump out of the truck, step in the snow and SINK all the way up to my thighs in the snow. My hubby, who came with me, was such a gem and packed down a little trail to where everyone would stand for the shot. He is a keeper folks! 

It is always fun shooting with this family! I am glad they have come into my life.
