Snow Princess

I've seen a lot of pics of kids in the snow this season, as it seems as though we've had quite a bit this year.  Seeing as how it is late Feb & I am hopeful that spring will be here soon (at least, no more snow ;)  I wanted to document Ella in the snow for final time this season.  I've had the idea for this outfit in my head for a little while & must admit I was surprised by how great Ella looked in peach...it really compliments her skin.  The skirt, truthfully, is a bit big, but I think the color was beautiful in these pics.  Ms. Ella has the perfect procelain/peaches & cream complexion to pull off this color.  I can't believe how big she's gotten since last February, when I tried to document her in her last snow of the season around the same time.  Take a look at the comparison below.  Isn't my little snow princess beautiful??  I grant you some of the expressions aren't great, but I like them anyway & I am sure the grandparents will as well.  Taking a break from blogging for the next few days.  Check back on Monday for Jessie's 3rd birthday post & next week for pics of our little celebration (truly, just birthday cake & presents!).  Hope you all enjoy the remainder of your week & have  a great weekend!

For my friends who enjoy photography:  One thing I've figured out when taking pics in the snow, you must overexpose.  The camera will read the white on the ground as light coming in & if you're not careful all the pics of your subject will be horribly dark.  I over exposed by +1 on my light meter & then fixed the rest in editing.
