Rain | Northern Virginia Maternity Photographer

This session almost didn’t happen. We were already on our second reschedule (weather), and then of course Hurricane Ida decides to creep in the week of the new date. So as usual I chat with the client in the am, to discuss a possible reschedule…again. Then my client suggests doing a rain session. At first (just getting over being pretty sick) I told myself there was no way I was venturing into the 45 degree wet hurricane induced weather. But then the flashes of cute prego mama, rainboots, umbrellas and such started popping into my head. How can I resist the chance to shoot a very willing client in these types of elements?

First a mini session in my studio style by me and with her extremely cooperative hubby, and then for a crisp walk into the fall colored streets of downtown Fredericksburg. Again with the super hubby that held umbrellas, changes of clothes, and endured the elements so his lovely wife could have a unique maternity session. Thank you to both my clients for letting me play, and see my visions through. For enduring the elements with a great attitude.
