winter photography...



After all the late fall shots, our part of the country turns inward. Or at least those of us who hate winter, plain give up. With all the indoor Christmas pictures in December, the picture season was stretched out a bit but taking pictures inside is like playing football in a 10 x 12 living room. There are days that even the snow starts to look good and as you start to put on those snow boots, those happy feeling go away quickly.

The need to be creative doesn't go away so you look for new ways to fill that need. This photo was taken at a birthday party on Friday - inside a multi - window garage type setting. While a car will never be inside the Red House, the floor is that wonderful flecks of color type that worked perfect with this dress. Didn't even need a face even though I would know, with those shoes - it is Miss M.

Even though the groundhog estimates 6 more weeks of winter, I am seeing light at the end of the tunnel. I was asked to take some wedding photos on Valentine's Day and I am thrilled. It is going to be a fun wedding, think the colors are purple and black. Wow, I am ready to go. Maybe winter is not so bad after all. Now, if only the leaves will start coming out and we can hit the trail, I will be a most happy girl...
