Alicia and Evan were making plans to come back to Nova Scotia from Alberta for the Christmas holidays and with a tight schedule, we booked a day and time well in advance of their arrival.  I began watching the weather over a week in before they arrived and the forecast was everything from rain to snow and temperatures from -9 to +7.  We were all hoping that there would at least be snow on the ground and we got that, so we were happy.  I of course was hoping for giant snowflakes and about +2 degrees, but you can’t win them all.  The weather was pretty good with mostly overcast skies and a few degrees below zero.  That’s not so bad when there’s little wind, and for Alicia and Evan, having been in -20 degree Calgary, it was nice in comparison.

I must admit, I felt guilty dressing so warmly while they couldn’t do quite the same, but I never know if I’m going to be laying on my stomach in the snow, or standing in a foot of water to get that perfect shot, so I didn’t feel too guilty ;).

We met at the Tim Horton’s by Murphy’s on Lower Water St. and we started photographing at Historic Properties.  We took our time walking along the waterfront all the way down to the Seaport Farmers Market and back.  We then went over to Point Pleasant Park to finish off our session.  Alicia obtained a Nova Scotia tartan blanket for the Point Pleasant Park part of our session and we made sure to use it, especially since it was not as easy to get one at this time of year as you might think.

Both Alicia and Evan were great people to hang out with and I enjoyed our time out and about in Halifax.  Here are a few shots from just before Christmas;

Enjoy!!!
