It has been rainy all week over here in the city of Salt Lake. So after a couple days of enduring it and finding indoor activities to stay occupied, my daughter had finally had enough. Her 21 month old self padded out to the living room, pointed out the window at the dreary clouds and proclaimed, "OUTSIDE! OUTSIDE!" So I decided since we aren't made of sugar, I could awkwardly zip up a rain jacket around my 39 week pregnant belly and properly clothe my daughter and go OUTSIDE

There is nothing I like more in a photo shoot than a good bank of clouds. I think I confuse most of my clients when I say that, but I SO enjoy shooting in the nice, diffuse light that the clouds provide - it almost feels like I'm cheating. The colors are more even, no heavy shadows...the only problem is that threat of rain...but hey, my Grandma always says, "It's a parade!" anyway, so I might as well embrace it, right? And then, it never hurts to have a super adorable subject
