January in Idaho is usually pretty rough. Cold, snow, and ice dominate the land. But this year we’ve had practically no snow, and on this particular day, we had no cold. We did have ice, as the lake was still frozen. For a January day, it was almost surreal.

Kortnee and I had been wanting to shoot together for some time. So when the weather guessers predicted a 50 degree day, I couldn’t let it slip by! Kortnee was fortunately available, and was the perfect model.

From what I was told, the grandmother loved her gift and was speechless
