After The Rain

It’s raining. Clients are sitting in their parked car. Baby screamed on the drive and just feel asleep as they pulled up. Is this session really happening in ten minutes? Guess what? It did! We started a little late but the weather passed, the baby perked up, and we rolled with it.

The fun behind-the-scenes story of this session is that it’s actually the second time we tried this location together. You see, we wanted to shoot here last year when Mom was expecting her beautiful little firecracker and upon pulling up to the bay, our cue to find a calmer spot down the road was when we saw the kiteboarders soaring through the air over a typically mellow bay.

We moved, and the last-minute change worked well, but Mom still wanted to get back to this spot for a family session. And I’m so glad she did! The evening sky lit up after the rain and we captured some smiles, laughs, and tender moments. Sometimes we need to embrace the chaos and trust that it all comes together. Fortunately for us, it all did on this beautiful Hawai’i evening.
