Snow Day! Documenting My Boys At Play

A few weeks back we had a snow day, one where it wasn’t so cold that my boys could actually play in it for a while. The conditions were gorgeous and my boys were chomping at the bit to get out there and play, and my one condition was that they had to wait for me to run and grab my camera! As a mom photographer, you’d think I document everyday like this, but it’s too easy to shoot more than you have time to edit, so when a gorgeous snow day comes along like this, I can’t resist—even if I have two-years worth of our own family’s photos to print!

I started with my youngest who is still not certain if he likes playing in the snow.

I think he is starting to realize that this is more fun for me than it is for him.

But not so for my oldest, he loves playing in the snow.

And when my little asked to go inside, he lingered by the door to watch his big brother at play.

He’s thinking, “Ok, enough with the photos already!” Good sport, though and one of my two sweetest, most mischievous, lovable little guys.
