This day was a whirlwind of so many amazing things. Grungy buildings, walking on rooftops, amazing coffee, so many laughs, and snow!
We started our adventure in an old building in Down Town Port Huron. The section we shot in is practically abandoned. And that’s what I love about it. My great grandma actually worked in that building when she was in her 20s… that’s how old and amazing this building is!
We tore open the chipping windows and Aubrey crawled out on to the roof, her long, long blond hair whipping in the wind. I know being beautiful is done a little bit more effortlessly when you’re young, but Aubrey just honestly made it look totally effortless, and simple. And that’s how we started our session.
Next we drove to the most adorable coffee shop ever- The Exquisite Corpse Coffeehouse. We grabbed 4 delicious coffees and refueled. While we were there we grabbed some shots and then noticed- it was snowing!
We ran outside and captured Aubrey while little snowflakes danced in the sky. I know that sounds cheesy but it honestly was that magical. We had been hoping for snow and out of nowhere that day, we got it!
After that we stopped by The Blue Water Bridge. Normally I’m not a huge fan of super obvious landmarks, but if we can take all of it’s unique qualities and use those, instead of what everyone else focuses on, I’m happy. And the huge rocks and weathered dock was just what we needed. Again , our Senior rocked it!
Lastly we came back to the studio and the snow had piled up. It was covering the trees, it was thick on the ground, and then Aubrey came out in her dress. A floor length, blush pink, sequin dress. And an instant fairytale was born. She is in love with the movie Frozen, and we wanted to take a little inspiration from that, but I feel like she honestly did one better.
So myself, Taylor, Aubrey and her mom Amy (who is just as beautiful and awesome) all ventured out in to the woods together to finish up the session. I had to force myself to stop shooting. Everything was perfect, and it easily could have went on for hours.
You can see why below.
