When it comes to weather for an engagement session, most photographers will reschedule if it looks like rain. I don’t—unless that’s what the client truly prefers. That’s because I don’t believe in “bad” weather. Every type of weather adds its own mood, adventure, and energy to your session, making your photos unique and memorable. Embracing […]
