It was the closest the moon would be to earth all year, and I had this idea to do a session with a couple swimming under this big beautiful supermoon. When I went to scout my location, it became very clear that it was WAY too cold to ask my couple to 1) stick around late enough for the moon to actually rise high enough to light the water and 2) swim in freezing water at midnight. So the idea evolved into a go ..read more
