Katie reached out in July to say that she and her family would be traveling to the area from their home in Virginia to visit with family and that they wanted to do photos in a sunflower field while in town. I knew the perfect spot. We scheduled and when the day arrived, the weather was perfect following two solid days of intense rain. Unfortunately, and much to our total dismay, upon arrival to the fields we learned they had been closed because they were just too wet from the storm. There stood Katie, her husband, their pup and their two little girls all set and ready for a session. If you’ve ever gotten a whole family ready for a photoshoot, you know it’s not something you want to do again anytime soon… so, we quickly pivoted and found some beautiful spaces in the area just outside the locked gates to the sunflower fields. I have to say, despite the disappointment, I’m so happy that this family was able to capture some memories of this super fun stage their girls are at!
