So, the weather in Lubbock is so unpredictable that it has gone from 60 degrees to sub-30's in one week, and it began snowing. For those of you who live in or have visited West Texas, you'll know that it doesn't snow this often, and when it does it's usually one or two times a year:
a. The county stock show. Like, every. damn. year.
b. In March, and everyone always acts surprised when we all knew it was going to happen in the first place.
Because of this particularly unusual anomaly, I called a friend up last minute like "yo it's snowing and since this is the only time that Lubbock doesn't look depressing, wanna take some sweet pics?" And she, of course, said "totes," so we headed out on our little adventure.
And I say adventure because it was. For one, all the kids in the whole city were sledding with their parents - except for one kid whose mom just watched her sled over and over again into a fence from the safety of her warm car - so we were playing Frogger trying to watch for kids sliding into the street.
Then we realized that we were going the wrong way, because we both apparently navigate by landmarks, and the snow short-circuited our elementary method of direction. We ended up having to backtrack 10 miles to find the spot we were looking for.
Oh, and while we were taking photos some dude drove up in a 1995 Ford Fiesta-looking car with pimp daddy rims and parked with his windows rolled down and his lights on just chilling and watching us for an hour. We're pretty sure he was waiting on...drugs...or something. Idk we didn't get close enough to ask.
I wish every day was this fun. Well...maybe not every day. Once a week would be good enough.
Anyways, here are the pics! Some are very similar but...there were so many framing opportunities.

lol I don't know why there's dirt on her sleeve. We only fell once each. I guess I should clone some of it out.
Hint: Don't ever where western boots in the snow. They're so warm but oh so deadly.

Werk it.

How models in magazines run.

How everyone else runs.

I'm pretty sure these photos are 60% model, 30% snow, and 10% me. It's nearly impossible to take a bad photograph with two giant reflectors above and below a very pretty model. Plus I rarely ever shoot this style of photograph, so there's that.
