Hot Cocoa Stand - Day 2 // Styled Mini Sessions // St. Charles, IL Photographer

I still can't believe how completely different this day was compared to the first day of Hot Cocoa Stand minis only 6 days earlier. This winter storm dumped the most snow our area has had in November in over 100 years, and I was right out in the middle of it! Though I was freezing and soaked nearly up to my waist from trudging through snow to get the angles I wanted, I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity and good fortune to shoot with this setup that day. I know the families were really excited about it too (the ones that were still able to make it out at least). The pine trees in the background were so perfect that they look like a fake backdrop! And all the snowflakes are real, no need for snow overlays with the way it was coming down!
