Oh Susanna -- trooper!


I've had the pleasure of shooting the remarkably talented Oh Susanna a couple of times. (Please understand that as a photographer, "shooting" people is a good thing.) I'm a fan of her art, and I'm a fan of her person.

One shoot we did took place on a very cold Canadian afternoon in February. We wanted the shots to look more "summer-y", which involved a great amount of intestinal fortitude by Suzie. (Did I mention is was a very cold Canadian afternoon in February? Did I also mention that we were shooting in an old, breezy, unheated barn?)


She looks pretty warm and summer-y in these photos, no? That's because Suzie is a champ.

The truth of the freezing shoot can be seen in this quick snap of Suzie and our marvelous hair/make-up guru Jess (please note the earmuffs):
