Texas is not known for their cold winter. As a photographer that is in my advantage. It means that I can work more months out of the year shooting sessions. I usually don’t have to worry about cold weather being a huge factor during my sessions. I did have an exception during one senior session in the winter. We had to shoot the second part of his session on a different, warmer day.
We scheduled, and rescheduled the session various times due to a busy senior and bad weather. Finally, we had a date and we met at his high school. He is a great runner and he wanted pictures in his home cross country course. It was chilly but he was okay because he was running.
Once we were done at the course we moved to the track were it was a bit more windy and we could feel the chill a bit more. We worked quickly and moved to a better location away from the elements (or so we thought). We could not get away from the cold and wind. The only place where we were warm was in the car. This made my next decision easier.
It is important for me that my clients are comfortable and enjoying their session. If it’s too cold I will usually reschedule the session. It was time to call it and reschedule this session. We did not think it was going to be as cold when we were planning the session as it was; and the temps were dropping very fast during the session. His face was showing that he was cold and he was not having as much fun as he is supposed to have. We decided to do the second part of his session at a later day. This was the best thing we could have done. The next time we met the weather was much nicer and he was able to enjoy being outside.
The second time we met we had a gorgeous winter afternoon and we were able to have a successful senior session in the winter. He wore long sleeves and was perfectly comfortable. No cold faces and no dropping temps to make us hide from the elements.
Stay for a while and check out some of my other senior sessions!
