My Favourite Winter Photos From 2021

Ontario, Canada

I feel like snowy winters in Ontario or at least Southern Ontario last about 2-3 weeks and then just disappear into the wet muddy mess that we all hate. This year was no different with a solid 2.5 weeks of beautiful snow before the rain came to wash it all away. Thankfully, I was able to jam a whole lot of sessions into that little bit of time before the snow left and I want to share a few of my favourites here with you!

First up is one of my longest returning clients having a birthday portrait session with her horse Tiny who was turning 29 the next day. It was probably one of the cutest things I have ever gotten to photograph and I would 100% recommend having birthday portrait sessions with your horse! Also can we all marvel at how good Tiny looks for 29!

One of my favourite images from this past winter is this STUNNING photo I got of Stonewood’s Rob Fjord. This photo right here made the 4am wake up call completely worth it. We had the most perfect sunrise happening and I asked Brandon to go one more time with Rob before we switched horses and I am so glad I did. Never did I think that I would perfectly frame the sun just above his head creating this beautiful shot.

Next up is this very beautiful and soft snowy image. What started out as a very dark and cloudy evening turned into a picture perfect sunset. I have to admit I honestly thought we’d only have overcast that day and that would be that. I’m so thankful myself and Mackenzie stuck with the date. Her beautiful Icelandic/Belgium cross Tir Na Nog looked picture perfect against this pastel sunset! Plus the snow was so fresh and fluffy that the snow trails look amazing!

What started as a plan to be a sunset session soon turned in to a sunrise session after the threat of rain. Boy was I happy we changed times! The drive up to the barn surprised me as we slowly had a thin fog roll in and trees beautifully covered in ice from the early morning moisture. It created the most beautiful creamy background for both Deidre and Nicole’s session!

Douglas over here had a mind of his own during his session and decided he only wanted to trot in a circle up and down the hill is the paddock. I took this as an opportunity to climb the fence to catch a higher, more creative angle. This made it super easy to create this all white background as he trotted up the hill.

For my last image I just adore how the snow trailing Wilbur looks to be on fire. This boy had some extreme zoomies that morning and need no encouragement to canter or trot around his paddock. The trees in the distance also make for a very cool and intricate backdrop for this image.
