How to Prepare for Unpredictable Weather for your Outdoor Family Session
At Adrienne & Amber Photography, we love capturing beautiful outdoor family moments, but we know that Mother Nature doesn’t always cooperate. Since Michigan weather can be unpredictable, we always keep an eye on the forecast and make the best decision for your session.
What to Expect on the Day of Your Session
We typically check the weather the morning of your session. If there’s a high chance of rain, strong winds, or other conditions that could impact the experience, we’ll reach out to discuss whether we should reschedule or cancel. Our goal is to make sure you have the best possible photos in the best possible conditions!
How to Prepare for Changing Weather
While we do our best to choose the perfect day, here are some tips to help you prepare for anything:
• Dress in Layers – Spring and fall can have temperature swings, so layering outfits helps keep everyone comfortable.
• Bring Clear Umbrellas – If there’s light drizzle, clear umbrellas can add a fun, romantic touch to photos while keeping you dry.
• Have a Backup Outfit Plan – If the ground is damp, kids might get a little muddy. Bringing a second outfit can be a lifesaver.
• Wear Comfortable Shoes – If we’ve had rain in the days leading up to your session, the ground might be soft. Opt for shoes that can handle a little moisture.
• Embrace the Elements – Sometimes a little wind or cloud cover can add drama and beauty to your images! We’ll make the most of whatever nature gives us.
What If We Need to Reschedule?
If we decide to reschedule due to bad weather, we’ll work with you to find the next available date that works. We know family schedules are busy, so we appreciate your flexibility!
At the end of the day, our goal is to create a stress-free and enjoyable experience for your family. If you have any questions leading up to your session, feel free to reach out. We can’t wait to capture your family’s special moments—rain or shine!
