Winter Wonderland Styled Shoot

Erin Olsen · February 7, 2016

Late last year I had an opportunity to work on a winter wonderland styled shoot, organized by Maddie at Ask For the Moon Events. The Outing Lodge, a turn of the century European stately home, was the perfect setting for our rustic meets glam winter shoot. The day was especially magical as we experienced the first snow fall of the season. Highlights of the shoot included a visit from Lexi the husky, a chandelier backdrop, and jewel adorned cakes!
