Seems every shoot has been coming with its challenges lately, this time it was the combo of the wind and sun. Mid-day sessions are hard enough with the heat and harsh shadows of the sun but I can usually overcome that with an umbrella or disc diffuser. However the wind was almost too much to make real use of them except for a few shots. On top of it all, if the family faced away from the sun the wind at their backs swirling their hair into their faces.What it all oils down to is that it takes a lot of effort to generate a few nice shots, which I felt was precisely what we accomplished. Much in part to a very nice and patient family.
