Sarah & Jim

On Saturday Sarah & Jim and I (and trusty assistant Katie) braved the snowstorm for their engagement shoot. I've never shot during a bonafide snowstorm before, and despite being almost soaked from head to toe in snow after two hours, numb toes (hubby has been claiming for a long time that I need actual snowboots, I finally agree) and even number fingers (and a camera that actually needed to be warmed up to keep shooting) - it was a blast! Sarah and Jim were such troopers through it all. The winter light is so gorgeous, and on an overcast day it is like shooting under the world's largest softbox - beautiful!



Sarah & Jim brought their puppy Henry along for the fun. If you know me personally, you know I have some serious puppy fever and Henry only fueled the fire on that. (All I want for Christmas is a Yorkie...) Loveable cute and spunky! And Sarah and Jim could not love this dog more - just look at their faces when they have him in their arms - such love and pride. I hope one day I get to shoot these two with their children, I can only imagine the way their faces will light up when they are already so bright with this puppy. Indulge me with some of my favorite shots of them with Henry:


I am so in love with Henry's expression here (that dog was shivering cold - but a good sport, and Katie was waiting in the sidelines with a warm blanket.)



I know Jim looks goofy being mid-sentence, but I love the interaction of Sarah and Henry here:


And for one of my new all time favorite shots - quite literally the second to last shot of the day:


I don't know if it is the nostalgia of the holiday season, but I felt compelled to do a bunch of desaturated editing:



Before I give you the slideshow - a small shout-out to assistant Katie who suffered in the cold right along with us - but was such a good sport. Hey, don't feel too bad for her - her main responsibility was watching Henry.


Enjoy the pictures!
