Waiting for the Rain to Past-- Mia 6 months - Gainesville Family Photography

When you think of a beach session you think. Blue sky's, sandy beach's, and a nice golden glow. Right?

Of Course, in all Kala trying to get some good photos fashion, nothing happens the way its suppose to. Down to just trying to get there I think I hit every light there was in the 5 towns I had to go through.

Picture it, (and I said 'picture it' like Sophia from the Golden girls) St Augustine FL, gorgeous perfect beach going weather with a nice breeze to keep from being to hot but not strong enough to be troublesome.

Then picture this.  Parking, getting everything ready to walk down to the beach, and then within 3 minutes, hurricane rain and wind with trees bowing and lighting striking every few seconds. Yes within about 3 to 5 minutes it went from a perfect day to HOLY S!#T.

Oh course my first thought was NOOOOOOOO. We drove for how long to get to the beach. And its not exactly like we can re-schedule a 6 month photo shoot when she is 8 months old. It just wasn't going to happen.

We decided to wait it out. Why not.

I'm glad we did. Granted, I didn't get the kind of shots that we were originally going for. But,  I was able to think outside the box and get some good ones and a nice variety.

The first part of the session was right at the visitors center where we ended up parking. We got lucky while we were there and it stopped raining enough for us to not get completely soaked (well, apart from me laying on the ground:-) and was just overcast enough to keep away crazy shadows.

And lets be honest. Lil Miss' smile and laughter can brighten up any ones days.


Here are a few of our improvised and lovely shoot in St Augustine.
