Snow Day! Elma Photographer, Grays Harbor, Washington State

Here in Western Washington our weather tends to be a bit on the damp side. We get lots of rain and the Winter tends to be a bit on the boring side. However if we get any snow at all the entire area goes a bit crazy. Snow here is hit and miss, if at all. We know snow doesn't last long so as soon as there is any accumulation at all we get our snowsuits on and run outside for fun! Of course my kids bring out the "kid" in me. We were out stomping in the more than 6 inches of snow that dropped the night before, my daughter having a rough time since she has only been walking on normal ground for a few months. This snow was a bit difficult for her. She loved eating it, kicking it, throwing it and sledding in it. My son was thrilled to be out making Angels, sledding, throwing snow balls, and having a great time with mom and especially dad. There is just something about snow and Dads I don't know what it is, but it is usually more fun. The following day Dad had to go to work and we didn't have nearly as much fun. Hope you enjoy these images as much as I do. I am even in a couple of them...big shocker! My hubby does a pretty good job, I must have taught him well. For those who are curious I shot these with my Classic 5D, Manual, all with my 85mm 1.8 lens, RAW, lightly processed (mostly just a little exposure lightening) in Adobe Camera Raw.
