Snow has covered the ground for almost a week now. While to some this is the norm and no big deal at all, this is the second big snow storm North Carolina has seen this season – with a 3rd on the way tonight. While it’s beautiful to look at and nice to eat and play in, being snowed in with no way to get out is no fun at all. This has been the case for 5 out of the last 7 days. Unfortunately, because of this, I had to reschedule two shoots. On the flip side, it’s a nice change of scenery and a lot of fun to go out and photograph. The sky is so different when it snows and I love the rolling clouds and beautiful sunsets we get. These are just a handful of the photos I’ve taken over the past week while being snowed in – so all were taken around our farm. Wish us luck as we have another storm coming in tonight – that we an get out soon and everyone stays safe and warm!

So here we are, a thick white blanket of snow on the ground and everything else.  As much as I wish for snow each year, I was kind of hesitant for this one to come in.  I have a bridal shoot scheduled for tomorrow that has been in the works for almost a month.  At the last minute, everything fell into place to make this such an epic shoot.  The location I booked, the props I rented from a local theatre, booking my amazing makeup artist, and the wonderful bride herself that contacted me about the shoot.  And now?  Now we have a foot of snow (and counting) to shoot in.

I will go into more details in the actual post with photos from the shoot about where and who I booked with and the lovely people that have helped make this all possible.  For now, though – why not snap away some shots of how beautiful North Carolina looks this evening, covered in powder and in a stillness only snow can offer.  I headed out covered head to toe in fleece, my camera wrapped in a plastic Target bag, snow and wind whipping at my face, just to capture a little bit of the beauty Mother Nature has to offer.

Wish us luck on our shoot tomorrow and for safe travels for everyone.  We are determined to make this work for us instead of against us – and hopefully everyone will have a blast in the meantime.  Until then, enjoy these few snapshots I took this evening.

Taken this afternoon with some props I picked up for a bridal shoot Saturday.  I’m still loving my PoGo!
