A winter love story

The most wonderful part of this extra-warm winter we are experiencing? It makes shooting outside in March a dream.

We met up with Rachael and Jered at their place near Fertile, Minn. for their engagement session a few days ago. It was unseasonably warm and we'd just had a nice big snow storm, so we were free to frolic in the snow without getting too cold :) Kory had fun making snowballs and using them to play catch with the dogs.

Rachael and Jered's backyard will also serve as the backdrop for their wedding ceremony this summer. I couldn't be more excited for this. I think it's going to be the perfect setting for a country wedding!

Kory winds up ...

And Coy the dog catches!

Hockey

In college, I worked at the student newspaper. Kory was the photo editor and the best sports photographer I knew. Early in my photo career, Kory sent me out to shoot a basketball game. I came back with photos of players and fans and things, but none of my photos had a basketball in them. Apparently, it is important to include the basketball when photographing basketball. Who knew?

These days, Kory is still a kick-ass sports photographer. He always includes the basketball in his photos. Me? Well, sometimes I tag along to games to capture all those photos that don't include the sporty object :) Here are a few of my hockey photos (try to find the puck!).

Winter whiteout

Over the weekend, a dense fog stuck around town, coating every tree limb and sidewalk in a thick layer of ice. We haven't had much snow this winter compared to most years, so it was nice to see things looking all winter-wonderland-like again!
