Mindy is cursed when it comes to Colorado Springs weather. She told me that whenever she comes to visit, it always rains or snows. I didn’t really believe her…Colorado Springs gets barely any rain!
Except that it rained on her first Saturday engagement shoot appointment. So we rescheduled to Sunday…and it rained.
So we rescheduled for this weekend, and everything looked good. 10% chance of rain. That’s nothin! We set off from our house to gorgeous blue skies…but then as we approached Manitou, the skies opened up. (I’m bringin’ cute umbrellas to Mindy’s wedding!!)
We stuck it out, shooting under trees and then ducked into a cafe to dry off…
We made our own sunlight light with a video light and our trusty reflector:
Aren’t they cute?!!
And then we were rewarded. It took a good hour, but the sun finally popped out, and with it, we had a rainbow:
And backlit rain:
And if you are willing to wait out a storm, you are usually rewarded with some gorgeous light!
We drove to Garden of the Gods, where the light just got prettier…
This was Brett’s one request–a picture of them both in their CSU sweatshirts. We were happy oblige!
Told ya we were rewarded!
And a little something different for us with this one…I’m excited to show off one of our polaroid transfer print options!
Mindy and Brett were amazing troopers! Waiting out the rain (and trying new rainy poses/techniques) took some time, but they were fantastic and didn’t complain a bit! Mindy’s sister, Andrea, came down from Denver with them to have her senior portraits done at the same time (her sneak peek will be up in the next couple of days). Here’s the whole crew!
