The little girl here is the same character of the story, as the one riding a horse in "By The Shores", therefore, I hired the same model. Using different costumes the models pretended as though they were trudging through the snow, but, of course, this was actually shot at the photo studio. The blizzard was painted from my imagination and reference.
