I grew up in Florida and didn’t get to experience the magic of a Snow Day! (Yes we had hurricane days… but that’s not nearly as fun). I was delighted to wake up on the day of the Toledo Family’s portrait session to discover it was snowing and not about to stop!

We began our session in their happy, colorful living room, and I fell in love with Virginia’s design style (not surprising, as she’s 1/2 of the amazing design team at Toledo + Geller). You all know I LOVE color, so to see this much in a family’s living room had me doing a happy dance!

(PS You may have seen one of the happy photos above in New Jersey Monthly magazine! Click here to view more about the Toledo’s home! And yes… they inaccurately attributed my photograph to another photographer, but c’est la vie…)

We ventured outside where we didn’t encounter another soul the entire time! We had a magical winter wonderland all to ourselves!

Of COURSE there were a few snowballs thrown!

Isn’t this family the cutest?! Even their pup is adorable!!

I always love to photograph Mom and Dad alone for a few snaps… these two are so cute together!

Toledo Family – thanks for having me over during a magical snow day! I loved photographing you all and hope to see you again some day soon!
