I was contacted a while back by a man that I had previously worked with at my other job.  He wanted family photos done, and wanted them done as soon as possible.  I remember thinking, 'maybe Spring might be a better time for outdoor photos, but Winter sessions can be fun too', but then he explained why he wanted them done soon.      He had a little surprise up his sleeve!!!!

Peter told me that he wanted the session to be a regular family session, but at the very end, he was going to give me a 'special clue' and then THE BIG SURPRISE!    He was going to propose!!!!!  He wanted the proposal captured by the camera to be able to have forever to look back on.  How romantic is that?!?!   

The day we had scheduled for the session was very cold and their was snow on the ground, but it was a beautiful clear day, with the sun starting to set.   When I got to Peters house, I knew I would love shooting in his backyard....a pretty, open area with some large pine trees....and he even had a fire going to keep warm!

I hope you enjoy a few of the photos from this session as much as I enjoyed being a part of this special day!  What an honor!!
