It was so great to meet Mari and Raiden! Mari recently became a big sister, and Mom wanted some family and individual photos of her kids.  The day started off beautifully, but as we neared the beach, the storm clouds came out full force.  As we met Mom and Dad in the park area, it began to pour. The rain came down in sheets, and people were literally running to their cars with towels and beach chairs over their heads. The nice part about shooting at a beach, is that as long as it eventually stops raining, we can still hold our shoot (no mud!).  The beach was completely empty when we started our shoot, and this made editing SO much easier! I typically have to Photoshop out between 15-20 people from each image’s background, but I didn’t have to take out a single person this time around  🙂

Mari was a photographer’s dream! She gave me a million poses, and told me that she LOVED posing for photos…can you tell?  Mom laughed and repeatedly said, “Oh my gosh, I don’t know where she gets that from!”  But girl was working it!  She was FIERCE! Loved that she wanted to give me heart signs with her hands, and she was down for anything. She tromped through the brush and sat on a wet (and very odiferous) log without complaint or hesitation. Oh Mari, you were so fun to photograph! Little Raiden tolerated the rain and transfers between people extremely well. No crying at all, and just look at those big bright eyes!  Those shots came at the very end of the shoot that was prolonged due to our rain delay. How amazing is he?!  Mom and Dad, thank you for a wonderful shoot!  We had so much fun out there with you.  Thanks for being patient with the rain delay…your kids did an amazing job!  HERE’s your sneak peek:
