My family session with the B. family recently was the last of the many “we’re visiting Vancouver as a family this Summer and we’d love photos!” emails I received this Summer. Sooo grateful every time a family chooses to visit my beautiful city AND book a family session to remember their time here. The B. family is spread across three States in the US, on opposite sides of the country. It’s special for them to be together as a family, and this year they picked Vancouver (and Whistler!) as their vacation destination.

There was a lot of August rain in the forecast the week their session was scheduled, but I told the B. family to trust me! I would be monitoring the weather closely, and had faith that it would clear up “enough” so that we wouldn’t be photographing in the rain…

And although it really was touch and go there, I’m grateful this family trusted me to keep our original date. (But I did have to text the client that morning and say, “Any chance you’re free at 2pm instead of our original 4:30pm start time? The hourly forecast is giving us a better chance of overcast vs. rain at that time.” Given that they were on vacation, they were free to move it up, and besides 2 minutes of sprinkling rain near the beginning of the session, we were rain-free for the next 1.5 hours!
