Snow Fairy

This evening, while what little of the sun was setting, left behind was a deep blue snowy backdrop. My daughter who spent a good part of the afternoon playing with her new Christmas make-up came bounding down the stairs requesting the impromptu photo shoot.  Eager to show how her new eyeliner wouldn’t smudge, she suggested a shoot outdoors. “Quickly”, I said, “Run upstairs and make yourself look like a fairy, we have less than 10 minutes til there’s no light left.” I thought to myself as she came down in her purple dress, "Finally someone as nuts as me!" We hastily made our way to the pond down the hill. Within minutes she stood barefoot letting the snow fall on her hair. Within minutes, my hands hurt and her feet were frozen, but not before I was able to shoot off 15 frames of my most favorite snow fairy.
