I am really sorry that I complained last fall about the rain. No, really, I am. You can turn this into rain (well, at least give us a little bit more play time first), but at the very least you can turn the snow machines off.
This fall, when complaining about the rain to my grandmother (who is soon to be 90), let me know on a couple of occasions that I should be glad it wasn’t snow, or we’d be up to our “Ox coccyx”. Well, needless to say, now we are 
. . . Raise your hand if your children always do exactly what you want them to do. Raise your hand if you frequently assume that things will go as you plan them in your mind. Raise your hand if after having children you realized that the assumption that things will always go as planned is a ridiculous thought and that more frequently, you end up throwing said plans out the window and going with the flow. There you are! I knew I wasn’t alone! Such is the case with some of the family sessions I do when toddlers are involved, LOL. I have an idea of the way I’d like to approach the shoot, but the wee people don’t always share my vision. So, rather than all of us ending up in tears, I follow their lead and let them be who they are. Definitely the case with this session, and I hope Mom loves her final gallery. As I’m sorting, just couldn’t resist posting this one . . .
I also wish that I could post some of the family images, just to share with you their fantastic PORCH, which upon arrival, I quickly decided was Coastal-Living-Cover-worthy. ( Have I mentioned how much I love to shoot in downtown Annapolis?) But, since I don’t know which of their beautiful pictures will be used for their holiday card, I’ll keep them to myself and perhaps share later this winter when I’m itching to post something to the blog during winter doldrums. Until then, enjoy these 
Oh my goodness! I hope you can dig you way out by the end of March, when I get there! Holy Cow that is a lot of snow! That does look like fun on a boring weekend!!!
Holy Snow Batman! And I thought we were getting pounded with rain here in CA. Sheesh, that’s really a sight. Keep your head above the snow pack and thanks for the picture of your world.
