I was supposed to meet these lil cuties two weeks ago. Three days before our session, I just happen to drive by our location and see a huge CDOT sign saying the road would be closed all weekend. When I got home I called the city who called CDOT for me and confirmed the entrance, to the perfect location I just found earlier this month, would be closed. ACK! I drove around the park for about 20 min and determined that we would just have to walk too far to lug my toy chest and a few other props around. I was so in love with the location, and mom knew it so she sweetly suggested we reschedule for this weekend. Our first session was destined to be canceled, as the entire weekend was full of awful weather!
Fast forward to yesterday. Mom makes a lil comment about the sky early afternoon. Being only 5 mins from our location I wasn’t worried. It was hot out, and overcast w/beautiful fluffy white clouds and heavenly blue skies. We were to meet at 6pm but I saw it may shower at 6; it had cooled down and was overcast so I called to see if we could move our appointment up, and we did by an hour.
I leave my house with the same beautiful skies we had a few hours ago and head to our location, when I see awful skies just past the park and it was moving our way. “ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!” I was saying in my head as I called mom to suggest another location on the other side of town that had nice clear skies.
Long story longer… We both change directions and meet up at the new location. Mom and Dad quickly get the kiddos ready, we unloaded the props, headed to a field and put the kiddo’s backs to the pretty blue skies. But after only a short while we started to get sprinkled on, and with the skies rolling in from the west we decided to pack it up. We looked at samples and contemplated weather or not the sky would clear up or not. In the end mom decided it best to reschedule, as it was getting closer and closer to bed time, and we really want nice skies and pretty light.
The upside to all of this?!?! I got to meet these three blond darlings, and… we found yet ANOTHER fantastic location, that we are going back to next month when we meet again.
Mom spent all the time getting the kiddos ready for the session (and if you’ve ever had a custom portrait photography session with little ones, you know what that can entail, from clothes shopping, to hair cuts, to ensuring kiddos are well rested, packing up the car, driving across town to the perfect location your photographer is in love with) it would be cruel not to share some of the moments I was able to capture.
Mom I hope you enjoy this lil peak, can’t wait to see you again next month!
