Making a Snowball

My Emily LOVES the snow. It's like she is addicted to the white stuff. Yesterday she spent about an hour playing in the massive accumulation (ha! It was a few inches) on our back deck...scooping, packing and making a castle. I called it her snow box as it is smallish and in the shape of a square. I am so glad that we have this fun thing for the kids to play in now. No, it's not beach sand, but it is pretty darn fun.

Looks best on black, if you have the time and inclination.
I really like how her purple coat jumps out against the white snow. :) So cute.

the colors are amazing!!! the finishing touch to already adorable shot
February 2nd, 2013  
Love her interaction with her creations. I really like it on the white, since it all blends in past the frame.
February 2nd, 2013  
Unusual POV... it works!
February 3rd, 2013  
Beautiful capture. Love the colours and the pov. She looks adorable.
February 3rd, 2013  
@aspada It is pretty weird, isn't it? I would have preferred to show more of her face. I had a couple minutes, shot a few wild shots and liked this the best. It does work, but could be better. Thanks, lady!!:)
February 3rd, 2013  
Looks fabulous on black. My kids all love the snow too, so much fun.

What a great shot of Emily, Amanda. I love the colors she is wearing against the snow. This shot almost looks 3D. FAV
February 3rd, 2013  
beautiful high key with all the colours! It's a lovely capture. My little one loves snow too, she eats it all the time she loves it so much!
February 3rd, 2013  
Well done - love the angle, the contrast, the color, but most of all, that she is having so much fun she's not paying a bit of attention to you!
February 3rd, 2013

@fireflyknights Thanks my friend!!

@soboy5 Thank you, Danny. I like high key and having snow helps!

@kwind I love her hat. Thanks, Kim...appreciate your kind comments.:)

@anazad511 Thank you, Ana! You are sweet!

@aliwarner Aw, thanks Ali. Probably me being in a different place and getting more of her face or a clearer profile would have been better. But the time is ticking with kids and she actually had to leave so I took only a few shots. I loved the placement of her body in the frame in this one for some reason.

@carolmw Thank you so much, Carol!

@paul2782 Thank you, Paul. I love hearing my shots are brilliant. Keep it coming. You are kind in your comments:)!

@bristolrose Thank you so much, Kathryn!

@siwainastromoy Thanks so much, Siw. I've got to try to get my girls in fur hoods like your recent amazing portraits. I actually did one but had a different idea in mind: http://365project.org/amandalomonaco/365/2012-12-22

@skipt07 Oh my goodness, she LOVES it. You would think that she spent all her time in CA before this winter...oh wait. Thanks, Skip!

@samr Thank you, Sam!!

@tbats22 We call it her snow hat. Thanks, lady. It's a fun one...that zebra:)!

@sugarmuser Thank you, sweet lady!

@still_beachradish You are sweet. Thank you!

@sparkle Thanks so much, Juliette. Congrats on top 5 for get pushed this week. I loved yours and voted for it!

@butrfli You are sweet. Thank you, Dana!! It takes processing to get my colors so vibrant. I am not getting great color in the snow. I need to figure out the settings to get it better naturally.

@archaeofrog You are right, it does work well with the white, too. Thanks, my friend!

@rachelmackenzie Aw, thank you, Rachel. You are sweet.

@masosy It is fun. Thanks, Kate. Appreciate your comments!

@leananiemand Thanks so much, Leana!!

@darsphotos It kinda does. Thanks so much, Darlene. Appreciate your great comments and the fav. So sad that the 49ers lost yesterday. It was close at the end luckily. It did make for a good and exciting game that second half and after the power outage.

@frida Mine eats it, too. Ha. Thanks, Frida. You are sweet!

@bpaquette Thanks, lady, for the great comments!

@kbalychev You are sweet. Thank you, my friend!

@northy Thanks, Northy.

@paula365 Thanks, Paula! Appreciate your comments and that you stopped by.

@emrob You are sweet. Thank you, Mandy!

@copperheadglass Thanks so much, Meredith!

@greyfeather Thank you. I really appreciate that. It's kinda funky, but it works.:)
February 4th, 2013  
@amandalomonaco It was sad that the 49ers lost but a lot less chaos in SF sadly to say as so many will use game wins like this to cause damage to property and others. It was a good game after 1/2 time and the outage. It will probably be talked about for a long time. We had a lot of food and a fun time. Hope you did as well.

@darsphotos We had a gathering with my family at my parents house and ate like kings (all of the standard super bowl party food). Fun times!
February 5th, 2013  
Too cute, such a beautiful moment to capture =)
February 5th, 2013  
@amandalomonaco How fun it sounds like you had, it was just 4 of us. We love to talk and laugh but my sons girlfriend is so quiet. After sitting in a loud room with us twice now, I was hoping she would join in.
February 5th, 2013  
Super high key photo, I like everything about this.
February 5th, 2013  
@automaticslim Aw, thank you so much. I love high key and it's great that snow lends itself to that!
February 5th, 2013  
Love the high key with the bright colors!
February 6th, 2013  
Nicely done high key. You can see she is having fun.
