Go Outside & Play In The Rain!!! by Karin Wadhams

Tell You Story - Senior Sessions 

 

I must say, Heather's senior portrait session was super fun, but in no way was it traditional.  It was on a mountain in the rain. YES. 

 

I messaged Heather the day of her session.  I saw the forecast was just NOT going to clear up and I wanted to know  if she wanted to reschedule or move this party inside. She said, if I was willing to photograph in the rain, she was more than ready.

Challenge Accepted!

Senior portrait session on a mountain in the rain... Yes we did! 

 

We met at the top of Mohawk Mountain.  Unfortunately, the fog was so thick at the top that you couldn't see 5 feet in front of you, so we headed down the mountain a bit to see what we could find.

 

This is what we ended up with ... :)

This girl.. she was willing to lay down in the rain because I thought the moss was pretty and it would make her eyes pop. 

SHE IS AWESOME!!

But seriously, those eyes....

AM I RIGHT?!?!?

There are so many reasons I love living in New England. The people are wonderful... Heather was no exception!  The land that surrounds us.... and the seasons. Fall has my heart, but of course they all have beauty in their own way.  With "backdrops" like this, HOW CAN YOU GO WRONG? 

This photo session was designed by Heather.  She told me what she was about and we made these images happen. With Heather, an umbrella and a weird plastic bag contraption I wrapped around my camera (it was super classy, DON'T JUDGE ME!) THIS is what her senior self represents and THAT is what portraits are all about.  

Heart. Soul. Personal to YOU. Illustrating YOUR life story. 

Pretty fantastic If you ask me ;)

Get outside and play in the rain every once in a while... It's totally worth it!
