Photographer: Maura Pierce Photography

Models: Clara Tomlin

Steamboat Springs, Colorado

February 2019

Let's preface this with one important fact: It was a whole 5 degrees out for this shoot....

Maura wanted a bright and vibrant floral look, so I chose:

Red Anenome
Orange Ranunculus
Pink Godetia
Red Carnation
Yellow Craspedia
Red Tulip
Purple Aster
Succulent

I really, really hate the cold. Yes, I've lived Colorado my whole life but that doesn't mean that I have to tolerate below freezing temps right? I'm embarrassed to say that I chickened out on being present for this shoot. But I seriously CANNOT BELIEVE that the photographer and models looked this GOOD in such freezing temps. Luckily I'm not a model, because my skin would be blue and frown lines would be a bit hard to edit out.

Since the temperatures were so cold, the flowers froze mid shoot. Big learning curve to consider the harsh environment I put my flowers through. Lessons learned, and beautiful photos later, Steamboat will always reside as my favorite Colorado town.
