Chris contacted me to schedule a maternity session in the field for his wife. He is a hobbyist landscape and wildlife photographer and also shoots Canon, so we had a fun discussion with technical camera terms and the best portrait lenses. Chris and Hong have literally traveled all over the world, and it was awesome to hear about their latest trip to Patagonia. After the session, he ended up picking up a 50mm lens at my recommendation for when their baby boy arrived so he could photograph him.
Funny story about this session...it took three tries to make this happen. The third time really was the charm. The first date we went to the field, and there was no rain forecasted but when we arrived it started pouring. We agreed to try again in a few days. The day of, there was rain forecasted, but we all mutually agreed to give it a try and met at the field... and it started pouring before we even got out of our cars. FINALLY the next week the weather cooperated, and it was worth the wait. Believe it or not, my sessions are rarely rescheduled due to weather. When clients book outdoor sessions, we always schedule a backup date in the calendar too. It may seem a little crazy to have two dates blocked off on the calendar since that limits my availability to other inquiries, but my clients are my top priority. I don't want you to stress about what will happen if your session has to be rescheduled - because you'll already know the date of the reschedule and have it blocked on your calendar too! As sessions take place, the backup dates are released from the calendar so we frequently have last minute availability for outdoor sessions as a result. So if you waited until the last minute to book an outdoor session, call us and see if we have a last minute opening for you or get on our waIting list. We go down the waiting list in the order of interest when a backup date opens and it's first come first serve.
I loved working with Chris & Hong, and here are some of my favorites from their session!
