I have always wanted to do a snow shoot. A month ago while in Wisconsin, I was -this- close to getting one done… but Kay’s sister bailed out because… well because it was 12 degrees out. =/ So we left frigid Wisconsin with nothing more than a picture of me showing cheese-head country what I thought of it. Maybe next year I figured.
Then came the winter rain storms of southern California. All the rain last week made me think of the possibilities at the ski resorts nearby. And that’s all it took… we were off to our very first snow shoot, what I later dubbed: Ice Queen and Snow Leopard! Ice Queen is the perfect representation of the kinds of looks I was getting for the hour and a half we were there. I guess freezing their butts off warranted the cold glares I was getting. ;p
It was certainly a challenge shooting in 32 degree temperature. The frigid wind chill, the falling snow… we had to brave the weather, all at the same time trying to protect the gear! But, you know what? Strangely enough.. we had fun up there. It was a learning experience, and as soon as we thawed out we were done, we already had ideas on how to improve the next time we shoot in extreme conditions.
Here are some of the photos. Let us know what you think below. Was it worth it? Would you sit in the windy, falling snow for an hour? If so, we’d love to schedule a shoot with you =)
Oh yeah… guess what we saw in the middle of… SQUIRREL!

OMG…ABSOLUTELY LUV THESE PICTURES! Kay looks as beautiful as always. You guys did an AMAZING job. The ladies don’t even look cold at all.
Lmao! The last pic of Kay is hilarious! But both are gorgeous and definitely did a good job of not looking frozen! =)
I’d love to do it again! The snow leopard one came out pretty nice Ty. Kay really look like an Ice Princess. The white dress suites the theme really well. Love the full shot one of Kay. My ass feels better today.
Absolutely amazing photos! The girls looks like they were having fun instead of giving glares! [:
Awesome job! I’d LOVE to see more next year!
When did u guys take these pictures? Very nice. I love the first one of Kay.
seriously, you guys are nuts! but the photos turned out great! love the full body shot of kay, it captures ice queen quite brilliantly, all she needs is a crown and scepter and she’s good to go. did you also do a bts shot?
Again, I don’t know where you get your ideas from but the pictures turned out great. You’ve got wonderful models. I wished Kay would have put on some Ruby Red lipstick with the awesome fur wrap of hers! And… c’mon! 32 degrees is NOT cold!
OMG i love these snow pictures!! soo pretty!!
Sorry Mary, we forgot to take the BTS shot (darn, would’ve been cool huh?) It’s what happens when you’re out in the frigid cold. But that’s one thing that we learned, create a task list.. make sure all things are checked off before we close up shop.
We used the exact same setup as the “purple dress” shoot. Just imagine a blanket of snow instead of the luscious green grass. =p
if u can make me look like a snowbunny then i dont mind an hour in the cold!! =)
Oh la la! Kay, you’re the most beautiful ice queen that i’ve ever seen! Trop belle!
What a beautiful shooting, i love the pix like always and you’re a very good model.
The 7th pix could be a poster of movie such as Narnia?! But the kind queen =P Magnifique!
By the way, very good job!
Oh and the pix of squirrel makes me laught ahah! love it!
