One of the things you learn to cope with in Southern Alberta is the wind.  It has this amazing way of complicating things when it starts blowing and it’s amazing how strong it can get!  When I lived in Lethbridge I remember strategically parking the car on windy days to prevent the car door from ripping when I opened it!

Yesterday we met up with Greg and Mariah for their engagement session in the Crowsnest Pass. If you’ve spent any time in the Pass you’ll know the wind can get pretty strong when it comes down off the mountains!  Yesterday was one of those days.  We started with a few shots in the Pass itself and then decided to retreat over the border into BC because it was just a little too strong!

It’s been a long time since we’ve had any fresh snow to speak of so Mariah and Greg took full advantage of it!Mariah and Greg really enjoy skating and wanted to incorporate it into their engagement session.  This meant a trip back to the Pass and we were hoping the wind had died down a little.  While I firmly believe it wasn’t quite as strong as when we left, they would probably disagree after being out on the ice!  The nice thing about skating on a really windy day is you’re going to have a lot of fun going one way!I love how these next two turned out!
