A breeze of another kind!

Last weeks shoot was very interesting to say the least. The Ghori family & I reached our location before time only to find out that the place didnt open till 30 mins later. On top of that their indoor lounge which was going to be one of the backdrops for the shoot literally looked like a tornado had hit it. The facility had some water main break which had the whole place looking like a mess. Needless to say I was beginning to get a little nervous about the prospects of this shoot. We finally got in and decided to move outdoors and lo and behold mother nature had a plan of its own for us. The winds were crazy! Im not talking a soft pleasant breeze but the kind of wind that could have literally blown you off the ground if you had just the right amount of aerodynamic apparel on. How was I going to get this family to look their best given the unforeseen circumstances.

Anyway to make a long story short, even though things weren't going as planned I have to admit this session ended up being one of the most fun and memorable outdoor shoots Ive done to date. The breeze added a fun and flirty dimension to the session and the two little Ghori girls were adorable floating in air running around in their princess hair pieces and cotton sundresses. The couple so wonderful and comfortable in the setting seemed to forget that I was even there. I had a wonderful time capturing this whimsical session even though it seemed like the odds were against me.

Thank you so much Ghori family for adding such a fun twist to your shoot. I had a great time and have definitely learnt that even lifes unexpected turns can work with you if you just know how to play it.

Heres a sneak peek:
