Mammoth for the holidays

The Cable family is in Mammoth, CA (aka the land of Moose) for the holidays. We made the 8 hour drive from the SF Bay Area and beat the storm. We had clear roads for the whole way here, but it has been snowing ever since. This is a good thing, since they need every bit of snow (and water) that they can get here.

After being cramped up in the truck for that many hours, the kids and dog really wanted to get to the house and play in the snow. Nobody was more excited about the snow than Bailey, our giant dog that did not appreciate the cramped back seat. He jumped out of the truck, dove into the snow and proceeded to bury his face in the fluffy white stuff.

I love photographing Bailey here in the snow since it is one of the few places where I can light him correctly (using the snow as a giant reflector).
