WINTER WONDERLAND.. MORE



MONOCROMATIC TONES OF WHITE ON WHITE. TEXTURE OF THE FROSTY BRANCHES AND VINTAGE BLOUSE, ROSY CHEEKS AND LIPS ADORN THE FACE. SOFT DISHEVELED HAIR CASCADES.

 this wintery day offered such great scenery and the model was so engaging for an impromptu session over their xmas vacation. it really was a family affair as the model is a client who's family I've been doing hair for since the mid 1990's. I've known her and her siblings since they were wee and am privileged when they pop in to see me from Australia where they reside. her brother who you don't see is Hamish, who is the photographer. it was during his haircut that he and I conjured this day up. it was shot on their family ranch in Longview, which has been a working ranch since 1909
it was a family affair for me as well, as my daughter got coerced into helping mw with make yp, seeing as my expertise ends at the hairline. she pulled off such an incredible palette and was a pleasure to wrk with and see in action.
her and Hamish had some grand ideas and was so fun to watch the young pups come together in their creative capacity.

WINTER WONDERLAND....behind the scenes

 a look at a day over the Christmas, and a fun creative photoshoot that was put together on the spot in my chair just before taking a break for the holidays. there were so many great images I will be posting a few separate ones showcasing this fun holday project....for all those who like to follow along..stay tuned for the rest of the story

Kitty our model, as her glorious adorable self

 

 some prep work taking place in the kitchen

 

one of the few shots I was able to get of Hamish and his sis.     

(my hands were too cold to play back up photographer)

 

 

I so enjoy when I can just stand back and take in the moment, letting it all unfold with someone else taking over the reigns. considering Hamish and I see each other once a year, and this was thrown together on a whim for fun, we nailed a really great creative shoot

 

this barn has the Robertson brand as well as the date 1909

while getting ready, Heather ( also long standing client, as well the kids' mama) was also getting into the day, running downstairs and coming up with all sorts of great wardrobe pieces, including the buffalo coat from the early 1900's made for their grandpa, from a native American as a thank you to G'pa Robertson.

at one point my daughter says "mom its like we are in a living museum"

simply aswome!
