Wading through these seemingly endless days of heavy clouds and 56-degree weather seems to drag down a person’s (this one!) spirit. Isn’t it supposed to be summer time?
On the other hand, the clouds lend to very good diffuse lighting for portraits. I am so lucky to have had overcast skies two weeks ago when I did Baby M’s 6-month portraits. He seems pretty happy too 😉
Honestly, taking cute outdoor pictures in the sunshine almost never happens. Everyone gets shiney, everyone is squinting or has a kind of “pained” expression in their brow because of the sun glare.
The sky also sends down a blue cast on everything (seriously!) when there aren’t clouds and washes out color.
One good thing about cooler summer weather – my leafy greens and beans are loving it!
And so are the chickens – They have no idea what they’re in for come August!
What projects have you been able to spend more time on because of this strange weather?

(Our kid sessions are called Bright Beginning sessions – but not because of the weather or season. Obviously because of the “shining potential” these cute little kids possess. If you feel so inclined, take a look at our session information here.)
