We got out of there in a hurry! It was such a cold day and Donna and Madison’s faces sure showed it with their adorable rosy cheeks. But what a fun time we had. They were full of smiles and up for all of the silly prompts I had. Loving on each other and just having fun came so natural to them. I didn’t have to pull out my painful (sympathy laugh) jokes. They were on it from tickles to cuddles and everything in between; these two love each other, that’s for sure! 

I didn’t know you could have so much fun in 20-degree weather but Donna and Madison sure showed me how it's done! Just to give you a really good idea of how cold it was, I took my glove off to adjust my camera settings, towards the beginning of the session, and for the rest of the session the fingers in that hand hurt from how cold they were. Now I am not complaining, this is what I love to do and these ladies were the best, but if that’s not cold then I don’t know what is. 

Now imagine being that cold and you are getting your picture taken. I couldn’t find one photo that showed Donna or Madison not having a fun time. Their spirits during their session are truly inspiring. They charged right through it with nothing but smiles, love and willingness. I will say that I sped up the pace of their session to get us all out of the elements as quickly as possible and we were all pretty excited when I said we got it. But even on the walk to the cars they were still just as happy and free spirited as before.  

Donna and Madison,


I had such a great time with you. The way that you love each other is inspiring and I hope that my son and I are still that close when he reaches 14. You both had the very best attitudes and were so easy and fun to work with. I am so happy that we got the chance to meet and work together. I hope it didn’t take too long for you to warm up on the way home.
