We got a lot of snow this winter and, as soon as we got a little warmer, I thought it was time for some fun snow photos with my girls and their friend!  My daughter, Maya, got a gorgeous formal blue gown from her grandmother and I really wanted to show-case that.  Her sister isn't usually game for portraits, but it was time for some new photos of her as well (also, the more practice the better in order to become more relaxed in front of the camera.)  I've also taken portraits with Victoria before and she is SO photogenic that I could resist inviting her along as well.  

The results are just what we were hoping for.  We went to to two locations and the girls had a few wardrobe changes.  As usual, working in overcast clouds is always a challenge, but necessary if you want snow.  Still, the snow makes a giant reflector, so I had to work around that.  However, it also makes such a soft, pretty light and, if the sun were out, those locations would not have worked at all.  

Here are my favorites from the session: 

Maya loves theatre and we went for more dramatic looks and poses for her. 

So loving the pink outfit and setting in these!

Natural beauty.
