hello, old man winter

With a fresh Ottawa snowfall, an opportunity to shoot was the only thing on our minds.  So much, that we practically bounced out the door. Even with his pullover and her cocoon sweater, Mother Nature wasn’t very forgiving. We lasted about fifteen minutes before we had to seek refuge from the whipping winds. It was much colder than we both anticipated–winter is definitely in full swing.

The nearest spot was uOttawa and luckily we could let ourselves in. Though it was kind of eerie, we were pleasantly surprised at how well the deserted hallways served as a backdrop. Halfway through the shoot, CJ removed his pullover and tied it around his shoulders for a preppier look. With Katherine’s help, the spontaneous outfit change was cleaned up. Being able to mix and match, and create different looks from simple pieces is an excellent way to expand your wardrobe. We always look for opportunities to use our existing pieces in new ways, as a simple change can completely re-work an outfit.
