Snow is coming!

January 20, 2016 Ginny

It looks like snow is an inevitable event this weekend- whether big or small, the white stuff is coming!  You may not be thinking about one the greatest things about snow- photographing it! The beautiful white contrast gives a whole new landscape and DC is an excellent place to be! So don't let the snow get you stuck inside- get out there and shoot!  Here are some of top places and things to photograph in the snow!

The Zoo The animals are out but the people are not!  You can catch them in the beautiful snow setting!

Your neighborhood Anything that contrasts with the pretty white snow is super fun to photograph.

Leaves and trees I love how snow falls on trees and plants.  Use a fast shutter speed to actually capture the individual flakes coming down!  Find contrasting colors and textures.

People Snow acts as a natural reflector and brings that beautiful brightness to faces!  Go out there and try it!  And if you are near me, I'm always up for an impromptu snow session!

The Monuments The contrast between the stone and the snow can be absolutely gorgeous.  Anywhere down on the mall or any local statues make incredibly interesting snow pictures! (this one just taken with my iPhone)

Water & Bridges Getting anywhere near the Potomac or a body of water will create some interesting textures! (another example just from the trusty iPhone) Cemeteries I know it may seem morbid, but cemeteries can be an incredible beautiful and peaceful in the snow!

Ice If it turns icy, there are always interesting formations to find and photograph!

So there is no excuse to stay stuck indoors in the snow- get out and photograph it while you can- I know I will!!

Stole this cute idea from another brand photographer because… how could I not!? It’s such a fun way to introduce (or re-introduce) myself!

Here’s a little snapshot of who I am:

When you need a test subject to show a potential location option, you use what you got....he got the assignment of giving me lots of "poses"....🤣 (and yes, bribery was involved for this cooperation!!)

Annnnd that’s a wrap for 6th grade! This girl “slayed” her first year of Middle School & makes me so proud. 🥹 💕Bring on summer!! ☀️
Photographing kids under five? Let’s just say... you learn to expect the unexpected. 

Between snack breaks, wiggles, and full-on sprints mid-shot, it can feel a little chaotic — but also so full of fun, spontaneity, and real connection.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there... especially the ones who grumble, “Do I really have to be in this photo?” …and then do it anyway. 🙃📸

You stand there, smile-ish, hold the kid, and pretend not to notice when w
June is here!  It’s a time of transition- it's busy, unstructured, and a little chaotic. But it’s also full of those real, meaningful moments that are worth capturing.

Lately, I’ve been especially loving:

We've made it!  We're down 1 tooth (and a lot of hair) but this guy is ready to say goodbye to pre-school and off to kindergarten next year! (Mommy may not be as ready...🥹) but we are all super proud!  Bring on summer! ☀

Happiest of Birthdays to my big bro!  So proud to be your sister.  You're an amazing dad and uncle and I love the childhood memories we share and the adult ones we're making with our own families.  Cheers to you! 🥃 💙

Sure, smiling-at-the-camera photos are great.
But when you tell your kid to “wear something silly and just have fun”? That’s when the good stuff shows up.

Personality Portraits are all about letting your kids be fully themselves: e
