a magical morning with a gorgeous family...

It's always a special treat to photograph a family I've worked with before. Last time, there were fewer little ones and an engagement!

The first time, it was -30 and equally magical... we just had to move a lot faster!

On this morning, it wasn't the temperature that posed the challenge... it was the durned mosquitoes – the byproduct of a rainy (gloriously so!) summer.

Regardless, thanks to Grandma's forethought, there was spray on hand! And the family showed up beautifully, despite the persistence of the critters.

It was a terrific morning and the light cloud cover provided us the most perfect filter. Thanks so much, Team McClellan and I hope to see you again soon!
