Thunder and Pinkeye (The Day I Shot Sheena’s Family)

Photographers are so busy taking pictures of other people’s families that it’s hard to schedule pictures of your own families (Don’t even ask how long it’s been since Paddy and I have had professional pics taken of us together). But Sheena is really good about making sure she has pics of her own kids, which I admire greatly.

But on this particular day, the odds were against us for sure! The weather was forecast to be cloudy but turned absolutely bleak and rumbled with thunder right before the time we were to get started. In addition, and really the worse of the two, her youngest son got a raging case of pinkeye right before the shoot. Like that very afternoon. I was pretty sure this was not going to work out, but with Sheena being the optimist we went for it anyway. With drops of rain and thunder in the distance we continued. The location was my parent’s farm and their goats were starting us down the whole time.  It was all pretty crazy but check out some of the shots we go…proof you can get amazing shots on any kind of day! Though I did have to do some work on that eye in post production,  I was glad we forged ahead.- Lily
