On June 27th we had the opportunity to photograph a wonderful family, the Jeffers. We had made arrangements to meet up that afternoon and we planned on photographing outdoors as long as the weather cooperated.
When we arrived at Mykel and Tracy’s house, the weather was “iffy.” We went outside to check out the yard and when we were only out there for a couple of minutes, it started to rain.
As you can see, some of the children didn’t mind, but the rain wouldn’t have worked out so well for the photo session.
As the rain poured down more and more, the formal living room was being re-arranged to accommodate the family portraits. Looking outside, we noticed that it had died down and that the neighbours were actually taking some photos outside of their house. So, back outside we went.
The weather held off for the remainder of the afternoon and we got a good variety of photos involving 7 people and one dog. It can be an interesting time when working with several kids and you always get some of them hamming it up for the camera, some with upset kids, and hopefully some with everyone happy.
When we were all packed up and ready to go, the rain came down hard suddenly. We made a run for the car and all was well.
Here are some of the photos from the shoot:
More can be seen on Facebook, on my Flickr and on Ryan’s Flickr.
