Rain Rain Go Away...

Living in the Pacific Northwest I knew it was only a matter of time before I'd have to come against what in my opinion is the least desirable of elements a photographer has to endure..
Rain.
And yesterday it certainly poured.
But I was fortunate enough to be spending my time with Jackie and her soon-to-be-stepson Jaiden. He was cute, quirky, and had so many expressions it was hard to begrudge the weather as we chuckled at all the cute things he'd say. He's an absolute character and I was so happy to take some time out of this rainy afternoon to get to know him and spend some time with a good friend in the process. It was incredible to be witness to the bond they've built and its given me a whole new sense of  respect for step parents in general. I could see the love and caring in each of their eyes when they were interacting with one another, some of my best shots were captured in the middle of their adorable banter.

Ultimately I've come to the conclusion that rain while not my friend, is definitely do-able to photograph in.
Does that mean I'm not going to do absolutely everything I can to avoid it?
...we will see :P

For now, I get to enjoy editing some rainy day photos that a full of sunshine and character.
