Imagine it’s a crisp October day in California. Throughout the week, temperatures have been soaring to the 80s and 90s across the Bay Area. Then, as if on cue, Saturday night brings a shift. By Sunday morning, we’re greeted with a cool 65 degrees and the gentle patter of rain.

As a Bay Area local, I have a soft spot for our rare rainy days. They’re a delightful excuse for a cozy day spent indoors. But, as a photographer, rain on a day packed with back-to-back mini sessions? That’s a bit less delightful, especially when there’s no simple way to reschedule five different families.

Rain or Shine, the Camera Clicks On

Come Sunday at 8 AM, I found myself in a flurry of texts, reaching out to see if my families were up for embracing a dash of rain in their photos. Despite a brief spell of light rain, which had me armed with umbrellas and garbage bags (just in case!), we didn’t need them at all!

Rain might not be the friendliest weather for photoshoots, but it does come with a silver lining—those overcast skies are a dream for capturing beautifully even skin tones without the hassle of dodging odd shadows from the trees or buildings.

A Big Thank You to My Fremont Families
