This last Saturday I did a family shoot for a friend of mine. Her whole family was in town for her brother's graduation from college and it had been a while since they had a big family picture taken. Nate happened to be working this particular Saturday...oh I wish he had not been.
All day the sun was shinning and it was a beautiful day, then about a half hour before the scheduled time for the shoot, the clouds rolled in. I could hear thunder in the distance and knew that it would be a race with time to get all the pictures done before the rain came.
I was able to finish the group family shots, but when it came to the individual family shots, the rain started to REALLY come down. If I could do this over again, I would have made sure to have an assistant, my reflector, and my second flash. The dark skies which are usually so perfect for photos, made it difficult to make the picture appear warm, with their light complexions. I definitely struggled, but I learned a lot!
