When I was a child I was fascinated with snow globes. I would shake them up and stare at the swirling snow wishing that I could somehow enter into the magical world beneath the glass that looked like a perfect fairy tale. In a way I've always carried that mentality with me...wanting my life to feel like the perfect snow globe world (talk about setting yourself up for disappointment!) My sister came up from Georgia to visit once again over Christmas and we braved the windy cold to create some photos outside to celebrate her pregnancy and ever changing toddler. When I look at these images it fills my heart with excitment. To me they represent the picturesque way that I've always dreamed life could be. Magical, beautiful and full of wonder. In a surreal way I feel as though for a few brief moments I was living inside the pefect snow globe world.
GERBER BABY ALERT!!!

Oh my goodness! Those photos (minus the pregnancy) are the exact reasons I wanted a winter wedding! I just knew it was going to snow like that. It did, of course, one week later. :-)
When am I going to get to see some Central Park photos? :-)

WOW, these are beautiful! Your sister was very brave to be outside in the snow and cold for this session, but it was totally worth it with images as these.

Never seen maternity shoots like this, and I think that is only a sister that will be persuaded to do it :-) Never the less beautiful. The little boy in the snow is magical, what a little star to play in front of the camera in the snow. I love the saturaded BLUE.
