Yes, it’s true! I did a photoshoot at my local mall. The winter weather can be often times hard to shoot in because of the snow, cold, and daylight fading fast. Indoor locations are always a great option, although I do love shooting outside. Sometimes its nice to have a break from freezing my fingers off in the winter months, but I still struggle with finding unique places to shoot. At my local mall, there’s a really unique area with real plants and a cool spiraling seating area with skylights above. Lily, Bekah, Naomi, and I were all able to be warm, but still have the real greenery surrounding us. I haven’t shot with three models in a while and it is probably my favorite number of people to shoot with. Not too many people to worry about posing, and the perfect number to make posing look compositionally pleasing. I played around with posing all three of them and some shots of them one by one. I was exceptionally pleased with the color palette of neutrals, green, and pink, and the three girls complexions mixed perfectly as well. In the winter, I am very challenged to create visually interesting shots because I don’t want to do every shoot in the snow, and staying warm when possible is always a plus! Stay tuned for my next upcoming shoots! They are going to be some good ones.

Out on the Ice
Last week Heather and I went to Lake George and wandered around the village for some adventurous shots! We started out on a walking bridge that goes over I-87 and quickly discovered that although it was warming up for winter (40 degrees), the wind was still whipping through the air. On the way to the bridge, Heather followed me in her car and my Google Maps almost got us lost, but I ended up figuring out where we were. We then headed down by the village and took a few shots there when we noticed people walking out on the ice. Heather told me she’d be up to do the same, so we headed down and we found our way to the edge of the lake. Can I just say how awesome she was?? Heather was totally down for anything and she walked across the ice in heels! About a half hour before the sun set, we started taking photos from the middle of the lake. My favorite part of the landscape behind her is how the horizon is cut off so clearly by the beautiful ADK mountains. When the sun began to set, the sky started turning pink and purple. The outcome of these photos were so amazing and it was definitely worth freezing my feet off on the ice in converse hightops and feeling my fingertips go numb! Thanks for an amazing shoot, Heather! I can’t wait to work with you again when its warm!!!
