the midwest has been hammered with the blizzard of 2011!!  and if your family is anything like mine, you’ve been out with your kids enjoying the snow.  what a great time to capture some family photos to remember this occasion!  here are some tips to help you take some awesome photos:

1.  get down to their level to show how much snow is surrounding them.

2.  zoom in to capture their snow-covered faces.

3. action shots!!!  jumping into a snowdrift or making a snow angel.

4. once inside, photograph the trail of discarded boots, mittens, scarves and hats.  don’t forget to capture the hot chocolate party that follows!!

as i was outside with my family earlier today (taking photos, of course) i couldn’t help but think about looking through the photos ten years from now and saying “remember when . . . ”

stay warm!!
