Weekend Recap

wedding_header

First of all, I hope everyone had a safe and warm weekend! Despite how FREEZING it has been over the past seven days, I was sure to take advantage of the snowy weather. 🙂 I came down with an icky cold last Thursday and wasn’t sure I really wanted to be running around in the snow … even though I was really excited to hear about this unexpected storm. Kyle didn’t want to see me all pooped up in the house so he told me to bundle up and run outside to play. 🙂 We ran around with friends/Kyle’s family until 1:30 a.m. sledding, throwing snow balls or each other around and building a snow elephant! Haha! I’m glad he keeps my childhood spirit alive!

Of course not knowing whether this would be the last snow storm of the year, I decided to jump outside and take some snow photos with this lovely couple! 🙂 Snow sessions are some of my absolute FAVORITE! Especially when it is actively snowing! Thanks Kyle for photographing me in action! xoxo!
