Even though winter is here, it hasn’t been ‘too’ cold so it’s great being able to get out and so some portraits sessions. This past Sunday, I met up with Heather and her family down at the Mission Marsh. I figured this time of year it would be quite pretty with the snow and it indeed was. From the trails to the beach area to the boardwalks, there are plenty of different spots to take advantage of. It is right on Lake Superior so there are certain spots that can get quite windy. Luckily, I always try and keep things moving.

Of course Zoey was the star of the session and she led the way most of the time. That’s ok though, because I love photographing children. She was the perfect little model too. Every time I asked to take her photo with everyone else, or especially on her own, she posed right away. So much so, that I had to work to get a few good candids of her!

Since Thunder Bay has seen some decent snow over the past couple weeks the trails and forest were covered with a nice layer of it. It was pretty easy to come away with great photos because everyone was so natural. The main reason we did the session this weekend was because Heather’s parents were visiting from out of town so the timing worked out perfect.

I could have easily spent another 1 hour photographing everyone it was that much fun. I’m looking forward to the next session!
