We have already had a surprising amount of snow this winter in central PA; the kids have three snow days to make up so far and it's only mid January. When the news calls for snow, everyone makes a mad dash for the grocery store to stock up on bread and milk! I'm still not sure why…we rarely get "snowed in" enough to actually run out of bread and milk.

Here are some peaks at a few of the "snow sessions"  that provided a few families some very seasonal Christmas cards this year.

With the Ishler family we tromped through the woods, did a little sledding and visited a neighbor's farmette with a lovely gray weathered barn and were photo bombed by some happy goats!

In the next snowstorm a pair of brothers came to my back yard for some fun-in-the-snow photos.

The pine trees held the snow beautifully.

Micah was able to catch quite a few snowflakes!

The  heavy snow was a bit of a challenge for me to balance a large umbrella tucked under my left arm while still having both hands free to use my camera while wearing some fingerless gloves. Someday I'll have to get a selfie of me in my snow-photography-attire!

So next time the weather guys are calling for snow, go out and buy your bread and milk, and think about scheduling a fun family portrait session!
