Sessions and weather

Weather and how it affects our photography sessions. When talking to someone about booking a session that includes outside poses, we always ask that the session be kept even if it is raining. Quite often the weather will change during the course of the session. We start our sessions doing the inside portion first. If there might be a weather issue we keep a watch for the changes and try to time the outside poses to avoid bad weather. We like doing location work and don't do as much as we would like because of the beautiful outdoor area we have to work in here at our studio. We have a quarter acre pond, several large trees, park benches and we've built several different sets outside. Sometimes we even have some of the local wildlife want to be in some of the sessions. It's not that we have very many snakes around here, but a local black snake choose to make his presence yesterday during a senior session. We just walked around the spot where we last saw him and no one on either side had a problem. The time of day is also very important when planning outdoor photography, whether here at the studio or on location. If you want outdoor poses let us know when booking your session and we'll suggest the best time of day for that particular location . We also have suggestions about the type and color of clothing for outdoor photography. Later in the summer the heat and humidity can take some of the fun away for the outside, especially for the girls hair & make-up. We have been suprised by the number of sessions that people want during the winter time when it has snowed. We're photographers and will try about anything because everyone knows that a professional photographer "ain't got good sense" or they would be in some other business. Man, I love what I do so I think that explains pretty much why I am like I am!
