It was cold, and snowy, and dark (one of the longest nights of the year). But out we went anyway to make some beautiful portraits. I like to say every day is an adventure and this day certainly was. Jump out of the warm truck and grab some photos and then back to the warmth to thaw out my numb hands. My beautiful model didn’t mind the cold at all – oh, to be young again!

Technically, these are a mix of natural light portraits along with some fill light portraits with a softbox. All were taken with either a 50mm f/1.2 or 135mm f/2 lenses. Most taken wide open or just stopped down a click or two.

Enjoy!
