Wow, these are gorgeous Ruthie! We don't get snow here in my town. Well the last time it did snow here I was 5 yrs. old. That was a long, long time ago. And it was gone the next day.
Anyhow, these are so beautiful. She is a gorgeous young lady and I just love the little snow flakes in her hair and falling all around. You still ROCK!

Amazing shots, Ruthie. Love the first one, but three and four are also stunning portraits.

Oh Ruthie, I think I'm in Love!!! She's just beautiful! and what a great model! I think they are all so well composed, but the angle and the beautiful sparkling eyes on the last one is just special for me.!
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

Wow Ruthie. I don't think I've seen portraits done any better than this. Absolutely outstanding. If I could think of a more complimentary word I would use it. Thank you for showing me how it's done.

Dave.

Beautiful work Ruthie, did you order the snow? I love the softness and clarity you get in peoples skin tones.

Wow, these are absolutely gorgeous. I hope one day I can emulate such wonderful images.
The barest hint of a smile, and the eyes in the third, Beautiful!

Were these takes with the 24-70?

Hello Ruthie, I'm ready to sign up for Ruthie Mae's portrait classes 101, your work is superb. The lighting on her face is spectacular, the softness of the shot is perfect. How do you do it? TFS

Michael
