I’m really excited about these images… so much so that my mind goes a little blank and I think…nobody really wants to hear me blather on about the weather etc etc right? But I DO need to mention the weather – it will give you some perspective on how amazing James and Chelsea are (not to mention the crew I had with me!) I had been watching the weather and hearing highs of -6 C and sunny and thinking…ok if I shoot fast we should make it…-6 isn’t bad. Well the morning of this particular session dawned neither clear nor bright – but the hoar frost on the trees that morning was spectacular. As if God had painted each tree with frosty snowy icing! The downside of this was that it was cold…freaking cold…and nowhere near -6. I think we hit -15 C that morning. Added to this my very talented brother in law Andrew Pohl was filming this particular shoot for another project we are working on together (more of that to come). So I of course did not want to wear my big puffy winter jacket… and of course James and Chelsea didn’t want to spend the whole time in boots and hats and mitts and parkas… so we decided to see how far we could get before we were frozen.
My friends….frozen came and left us a several times in this shoot…more often than not numb took over…which made it not so bad. James and Chelsea lasted 2.5 hours! (can you hear me slow clapping them?) This resulted in some seriously awesome images. So thank you to them for sticking it out and for Brian (who again took some of my favorite shots from the day) and Andrew who stuck it out with us as well! Enjoy the sneak peek!
Chelsea…you are gorgeous…look at those eyes!!!
James isn’t so bad either! I think he looks like Matt Damon…
Then we headed to the park…
Thanks again you guys! I can’t wait to do this again in a few more months!
