They say behind every cloud is a silver lining. Hmmmmm………this was my last shoot before Christmas. Her mother wanted Christmas cards and it was just about a week and a half before Christmas. Yikes………I had ONE open slot left so I told her it was then or never. We checked the weather…….it said rain tapering off. Oh, tapering off, that’s good……… The day came, and the tapering off part? Not so much. So the Location I had planned to shoot was a mud bog, I drove around that morning wondering where I was going to do it……..I walked around in the rain in several spots, hoping something magical would come to me. Ugh it was dark……..and windy……..and cold………..and rainy……… but I kept hoping, and I talked to her mother several times that day…….she worried what to do if the rain didn’t stop, I told her we were going to shoot anyway.
And we did……..it rained……..and the wind blew……..BUT……. a little fake snow and some cardinals clipped into a tree turned a rainy shoot into a perfect one for a Christmas card………….cause sometimes you just do what you have to do………….and then you end up with a silver lining ;0)
And with the perfect Christmas card shot done…….we did a few more……I guess we liked the rain, but thanks in part to photoshop, doesn’t look too rainy does it?
And then a little pop of color to end the day.
