Alpine Ski Club with Marie Love (Patreon)

This set came together in the kind of way a lot of my favorite shoots do—half idea, half impulse, fully committed once we were already freezing.

We leaned hard into a retro alpine vibe here. Old wooden skis, fur hat, cropped knit, high heels in the snow… the kind of look that feels like it shouldn’t work, which is usually a good sign. There’s something timeless about those skis especially—they immediately anchor the whole set in a different era, and I love how they contrast against how stripped-down everything else is.

Marie deserves a ton of credit for this one. She does not do well in the snow, and that’s not an exaggeration. Cold hits her fast, footing is sketchy, and none of this is particularly comfortable—but she still showed up and gave me exactly what I needed. The tension you see in some of these frames is real, and honestly, it works. It adds to that raw, winter-pinup energy instead of fighting it.
