Ketchum

This past weekend we went up to Ketchum to stay with our friends Adam & Lori and their kids, Addie and Ellie.  Addie had her first ski race at Dollar Mountain and Ellie is learning how to ski.  They had so much fun.  Sledding was also a big highlight of the weekend, the kids just couldn't get enough of it!  

Here are a few pictures from the weekend.  This year my goal is to start shooting a lot of my pictures in manual mode.  The kids were great models for me as I practiced shooting with window light.  I love taking casual portraits as they seem so much more real than the traditional posed shots.  The snow pictures turned out to be quite challenging since the conditions were changing on a continual basis - cloudy, snowy, sunny, cloudy .....
