Snow Day | Old Waterloo Bridge

I’ll admit that I LOVE snow … especially photographing portraits in the snow! πŸ™‚ Annnnd I heard that Monday we are possibly going to get MORE?! πŸ™‚ I’m excited!

The lovely sneak peek you all saw of Tuesday’s snow session will be featured next week on the blog! But for now, I wanted to share some behind the scenes fun. πŸ˜‰ We travelled to the Old Waterloo Bridge down the road from where we were … probably a dangerous idea, but it was SO worth it! This bridge has SO much history behind it and recently it was closed down. I have driven over it countless times and now that it is closed makes me freak out a bit knowing that they closed it down based on safety reasons. Haha! But having photos here to always remember this bridge was a MUST!

Thanks Robert for catching this behind the scenes shot! I was wearing at a coat, jacket, flannel shirt and under shirt and I was STILL frozen to the bone! What a cold day to photograph! But as you will see next week, it was SO worth it! πŸ™‚
