Being that it's Christmas week, I've been busy with photo orders, gift certificates, and last minute sessions for digital cards. I'm taking a quick break from it all this morning to catch up on some posts.
It's no secret that our snow situation is a sad sad state of affairs at the moment. I may or may not have spent the best part of the last month photoshopping snow into holiday photos. This is my 16th winter in Vail and I've never seen it like this. However, my recent shoot with the Curtis Family had conditions that were absolute perfection.
Because of the lack of snow, Vail Mountain has been offering free scenic rides on both of the gondolas. Gondola 1 opened for foot passengers the day of our session and we'd had about 4 new inches of snow the night before. Being that it wasn't open to skiers, we were able to get clear shots without worrying about crowds of the kids getting knocked down. The sun was shining, the Gore Range looked stunning and the snow guns provided an interesting backdrop. This was one of my favorite sessions of the year.
