I planned to take Tiffany to the beach on this day in February, but the weather turned dreadfully cold in a late season cold snap. So I moved this shoot inside, put up my modest backdrop, and got some film out. Tiffany brought his nice black lace robe for flair. With Tiffany Pichon as the model. February 2026.
