Kitty has been one of my best friends forever. No, really, forever. I've known her and her family since I was about 12 years old and we started taking riding lessons together. We grew up together at the barn, shed tears of laughter and sadness together, blood and sweat. She is the little sister I never had, a best friend forever. And yes, that all sounds very cheesy, but it's true. And as close as I am with her, her family has become a second family to me. Her mom was a second mom, her dad another dad, her little brother, another little brother. So when she asked if I'd take some family photos for them over Christmas, I couldn't refuse! It's so much fun to work with people I know well because it's so much easier to draw out personality and the love that this family has for one another.
We had planned for a fun winter session in the snow, but as luck would have it, all 8 inches of snow in PA melted three days before Christmas thanks to 50*F weather and rain. Then, Kitty sent me a message that we may not be able to do the photos because of an illness in the family. But then on Christmas day, it snowed. And we all decided that despite the sad Christmas they had been having, the snow was a sign that we should do the photo session. I'm so glad we did! We had a blast, it was fun to visit, and we played outside in the snow. So here's your sneak peek!

Proof of how hard it was snowing! It's hard to shoot in the snow - gotta find photos where there's not a snowflake in front of someones face!
Jared caught this behind the scenes shot... Everyone was great about sitting on cold, wet things and pretending they really did like each other! :)
