Most of my fall sessions are Mini Sessions so I can help as many families as possible get their holiday photos, but when I can, I squeeze in longer sessions. This one in Jupiter was quite the adventure last month!
I was unfamiliar with area, but my clients (friends since our first Day In The Life Session in 2017!) knew the area and suggested a photo shoot at the Jupiter Lighthouse after Mae’s orthodontist appointment. Sounded great!
Until we discovered at the gate that the lighthouse park was closed.
No worries, we drove around to a park where you can see the lighthouse from! We scouted out an area, looked great - then the heavens open up, wind picked up, and it felt like a hurricane was coming through.
We weren’t too worried. It was still early so we went to have dinner at utikibeach and while I got pretty soaked during my run to the restaurant, the family fared better and we had a fun and yummy dinner.
After we ate, we snapped a few family pics at the dock with the lighthouse in the background. This picture shows how wet it got and why my toms were soaked!
We then drove to the pretty park, and light was absolutely amazing! We started going through the various portraits, and then the kids screamed out: no-see-ums!!! We had to take multiple breaks for them to slap the bugs.
Sometimes this is how it goes, but we kept going and laughing and everyone had a good time.
And we got great pics too 🥳📸💪🏻
