"Their Snowy Tea Party"



Every once in awhile an idea on paper, becomes a vision, and then maybe a reality..  When you are taking a photography class sometimes you are stretched to get outside your comfort zone..  When your best friends are photographers and avid Pintrest followers, you get pushed even more..  That is how a very special "Snowy Tea Party" came to be.

Jennifer sent me a photo, a month ago, and all she said, was "You have to do this..."  It was a precious photo of two sisters, and their oversized teddy bear having tea in a snowy scene.  Since I am currently in a photography class, I was motivated enough to do some extra homework..  The models I needed were easy..  Who better than Emme and Bella (and even Minnie) to help.  We knew snow this year would not be an issue..  It was warm temperatures we had to pray for...  Well, we had the "perfect storm" on Monday...  No school, beautiful snow fall, two "willing" participants, and two crazy "clicking Mama's" to make sure we pulled this off...  Props credit goes to Miss Jody..  She even painted furniture for this vision we had...   I had the easy job, of taking the pictures!

Well, I think every photographer panics a little wondering if they got that one photo....  I am happy to say we got some very sweet pictures to remember this day!  There were some funny behind the scenes events too..  You can just hop over to Jody's blog post from today if you want the details...

For now, enjoy our little moment in Minnesota Narnia!









Let me say that Jody did a brilliant job with our tea party guest, Minnie...  Minnie is 135lbs and all puppy..  Jody handled her and I "clicked" as fast as I could!!


Thanks Jody and Jen..  Loved this snowy shoot!!!!

Blown away by your talent!! Amazing pictures of these 2 little beauties!

Haven't commented in a while on your blog but continue to follow along. Love having a peek into your precious family.

Emme's picture at Valentines reminded me of Ainsley -- the confident look on her face, the twinkle in her eyes and her sassy pose looked so much like your oldest!
