I recently had the pleasure to spend a morning with Katelyn and her dog Winnie, walking along a snowy trail. It was snowing quite hard, but with the snow came a wonderful atmosphere and soft light that played well in the portraits. Katelyn was down for pretty much everything, but her dog had a much rougher time. Winnie’s fur quickly collected the snow effectively turning her into the abominable snow dog.

The winter winds blow in from the north, and with them come a purifying blanket of snow. It’s a welcome change from the cold, dark, and rainy end of the fall season.
