Luck of the Photographer...

I had the pleasure of photographing a family session with the Harris family on St. Patrick's Day.  My clients chose The Hague in Norfolk because it was a special place for them.  When the couple had their engagement photos done, this is where they came.  It was something special for me to photograph this lovely family of three in a place that held such a special spot in their hearts.

The day was not what you would think an ideal photo shoot would be.  It was cloudy and overcast with absolutely no sun shining.  For me, this is one of my favorite kind of days to shoot.  There is little to no need for a flash and the images seem to come out softer and the clients really stand out against the background.  This day was a little chilly to begin with at the start of our session.  I took photos for about 20 minutes before we had to take a break and warm up in the car with a snack for the little one.

I loved the variety of scenery in this session.  The Hague is a great place with the bridge over the River, the urban park like setting, and the stone work around the river.

The next time you see a cloudy overcast day, don't knock it.  It could be the day when you shoot your most favorite photo.  I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do!
