Everyone in New England was hunkering down as winter storm Nemo descended on the eastern seaboard. iRobot asked all employees to leave for home at noon and by 4 PM the governor closed all roads in the state to all but emergency vehicles (anyone driving after that would be ticketed). Nicolai’s friend Taylor was visiting as the storm began and was stranded here until her father was able to pick her up just as the curfew was going into effect. A beautiful girl and natural model, Taylor enjoyed posing for portraits to pass some of the time. Maya provided several different scarves for us to work with and served as my lighting assistant.
