Let me start this post by saying

This was an adventure

For me at least. Katie and Jermey love winter and the outdoors. When trying to decide where we should do maternity photos she expressed she was really hoping for a winter scene but that it didn’t look too promising. (Remember a few weeks ago when we weren’t sure if winter was coming? Well it has since came!) I suggested doing the session at the falls but I knew it wasn’t easy getting to especially in the winter. She was up for it and so that’s what we did!

Upon getting to the falls, I noticed that most of the vehicles were parked outside of the parking lot on the side of the road. I was about to do the same and then thought, there’s a tiny car parked in there.. I can definitely make it in there with an SUV. I was wrong. So they arrive and Jeremy immediately starts helping get my vehicle out of the snow. Shout out to Jeremy and.. the 4 other strangers who helped get me out. And shout out to my husband - Please put on my new tires.

We grab our snow shoes and start walking. They are obviously pros at this have have all sorts of gear. I on the other hand, have only been snowshoeing one other time and certainly not down a giant hill. Thankfully, I do not have a pride issue and was able to laugh at myself fumbling to get my snow shoes on and sliding down a good portion of the hill on my butt. I even got a “are you from around here?” Yes. Yes I am. I am just not coordinated, or athletic and not really a huge fan of winter. hahaha

In the end I had a great time. These photos are gorgeous. It was 100% worth making a fool of myself in all the ways that I did. And now, enjoy a highlight reel of those events.
