Learning to Go With the Flow

As a professional photographer, I never truly know what conditions I am going to experience on a portrait session.  If it is outside, will the weather cooperate or will we be forced to reschedule?  Is everyone in the family feeling well or is someone under the weather?  If it is a location shoot, is the location as nice as it was in the morning as in the evening?  

I have learned over the years that I just need to go with the flow and taking portraits of the Beaver Family reminded me of that philosophy.  

We arrived at Brick Pond Park and encountered terrible wind and crazy sunlight.  Thankfully, the Beaver family was also willing to go with the flow and I can't help but smile when I look at these pictures.  

Kim, a local celebrity who hosts her own show "Cooking with Kim," won a portrait session as part of my library promotion at the beginning of the year when I displayed some of my portraits at the North Augusta Library.  Congratulations, once again!  I had a wonderful time with the entire Beaver Family!
