A Snowy Session ∙ Family Portraits at the Old Mill

Crystal is one of my best friends. We’ve known each other since high school and have stayed pretty close over the years, despite many miles between us. Most Christmases we are both at “home” in Ohio and we get to spend some time together. This year, she hired me to do a portrait session as a gift for her family. We decided to do the shoot at The Old Mill in Mill Creek Park. The Mill is an icon for Youngstown. Plus, it’s absolutely gorgeous, especially when the creek and waterfall are iced over. Pristine!

It was a pretty cold day, but the sun kept peeking around the clouds to warm us up. As you can see, the ground was covered with snow, which always makes the freezing temperatures seem less freezing. We definitely had fun and made some memories during the session. This family has begun to spread out so this time spent together was really special.

Thank you all so much for getting out into the snowy weather for this session. I really enjoyed spending some time with you again. Reminds me of all the bonfires we used to have at your house. Miss you! – Lindsay
