This session was extra special because it was for the niece of one of my best friends from college! I’ve been fortunate enough to capture the senior sessions of all three of her older siblings at Henry Horton State Park, so I was excited to continue the tradition with her.
Although the session didn’t start out quite as planned, it turned into a memorable day. Both her mother and I had checked the weather several times leading up to the session, and it looked like we’d be fine. I even showed up early and was greeted by a beautiful rainbow. But, as luck would have it, about five minutes before they arrived, the sky opened up, and it started pouring rain.
Given that they had driven quite a distance, we decided to make the most of it. We started in a picnic pavilion, capturing some great moments against the rustic stone wall. From there, we got creative with my clear umbrella for some fun shots as the rain eased up.
The weather turned to light sprinkles, and by the end of the session, we were blessed with a few moments of sunshine peeking through the clouds. This lovely senior is a swimmer and had hoped to recreate some river photos we had taken for her older brother years ago. I wasn’t sure we’d be able to, but thankfully, the rain let up, and we ended the session in the river.
Despite the unpredictable weather, I’m so glad everything worked out. This was such a fun session, and I’m thrilled to have captured these memories for this amazing family!
