When your friends and family are in Seattle and New Jersey, they might consider the winters in Minneapolis a deal breaker. Those of us who live here realize it is an asset – just cold enough to keep away the masses, just long enough to build a season around, and the perfect excuse for knit mittens and fur lined coats. Bethany + Stamatis have certainly embraced the winter here, so it was the perfect season to for their engagement photos – a little frozen tundra, a little Scandinavian knits, and a lot of fun. Of course, we did have to reschedule at least once due to the cold advisories.
Winter is maybe my favorite time to do portrait sessions outside – no one else is around, everything looks totally different, you can walk on water, and everyone is motivated to finish up and get cocoa. Bethany and Stamatis had the extra advantage of shocking their non-Minnesota friends and family by showing them that Minnesota actually looks exactly how they imagined.
