Vail Engagement Photos - Kristi and Evan

Kristi and Evan's engagement session was so much fun and the weather conditions were perfect!  Sometimes it can be hard to predict what kind of weather we're going to get, and we definitely got lucky the night we shot their session.  We'd just had a huge dump of fresh snow and everything was looking like a fairytale, with snow clumps on the trees and giant mounds of snow in the Gore Creek.  

As two Air Force pilots, Kristi and Evan were obviously outgoing and they were up for walking through some deep snow to get the best shots.  They also both really love to two-step so we had some impromptu dancing in the snow, which I LOVED!  Here are a couple of my favorite shots from their awesome session.

Beaver Creek Family Photos - The Higers

The boys and I are back from a 1 month stint in New Zealand and we're hitting the ground running.  It's a little bit of culture shock to go from swimming in the ocean to shooting in the snow, but here we are!  

My session with the Higers actually took place before we left, but I wanted to post them now to show you how crazy the conditions can be when shooting in the valley.  I always say that my clients are the best and the bravest and these photos should give you a good idea why.  

We started the session at the Mirabelle at the base of Beaver Creek.  We had blue skies and sunshine and everyone was comfortable in sweaters.  Keep in mind that this was a one hour session.  If you scroll to the last photo, you'll see how things turned within 40 minutes.  Needless to say, we spent the last 20 minutes shooting in front of the giant fireplace at the Park Hyatt!
