I feel so fortunate to live in a place where four very distinct and uniquely beautiful seasons exist and while I appreciate each of them, winter is by far my favorite. My list of reasons for this is pretty extensive and includes but is not limited to: cozy scarves, tall boots, hot tea, Christmas, it's the only time of year that my excessive blanket collection is appropriate, SNOW, watching Toby (our furry pup) frolic around in said snow, etc.

What I really love about winter is the simplicity. I love the silhouettes of the trees and the way that everything inside me leaps for joy when the sun is out. I love the way that snowfall seems to bring people together and beckons us to slow our pace. I love the warm glow of the morning light and the crisp air of sunrise on a snowy Sunday morning in January - and that's exactly what it was like when we met with Brittney and Matt. They are a sweet and incredibly down-to-earth couple who claimed to be "very awkward in front of the camera," which was clearly a silly joke because just look at these two...

It was difficult for me to narrow down, but here are a few of my favorites!
