This session with Kylee was wild—in the best way. We were out on some flat farmland somewhere in Colorado. Picture open plains for miles, not a hill in sight. It was about 12°F with brutal wind chill, and we were shooting in 3-minute bursts so Kylee wouldn’t literally freeze. I’m not joking—frostbite was on the table.




We found a random backroad lined with farmland, hay bales, and even an old tractor, which obviously became part of the shoot. Later, we stumbled on an abandoned house just off the road and used its textured, weathered exterior for a few edgier shots. The whole thing felt like a blend of Americana and editorial grit.

The session was quick, cold, and super intentional. Every pose had to count. Kylee nailed it—even with frozen hands and wind in her face. It ended up being one of my favorite shoots from that trip.


While this one happened in Colorado, we get similar winter tones around Mt. Hood or out near Central Oregon if you know where to look. If you’re based in Portland and want that cold, clean, minimalist look—we can make it happen.
