Being an outdoor and natural light photographer, I'm used to rescheduling sessions due to our crazy weather in Southwest Missouri, especially during the late winter / early springs months. Heidi's session is a perfect example of how much rescheduling can happen when planning an outdoor photo session. Heidi, Sara, Ariston, and I met on a beautiful Saturday afternoon for her Six Month Session. The days prior had been warm and sunny and made us feel like spring was just around the corner. As we started her session, the wind picked up and the temperature dropped. It changed from feeling like a spring day to reminding us that we were technically still in the winter months. Poor Heidi's nose began to turn red and we all felt the chill in the air. Within a few minutes we decided to reschedule for another date. Mother Nature has a funny sense of humor sometimes, because every time that we would choose a reschedule date, we would end up cancelling that session as well. We had to reschedule her session so many times that her Six Month Session turned into her Nine Month Session. Ha! Sara and Ariston would always laugh it off, stating it was "no big deal" and we would try for another date. This session is a wonderful example of how mellow and easy going they are to work with. I just love these three!

Good things come to those who wait. Her Nine Month Session arrived and the weather was perfect. The sun was shining, the temperate outside was beautiful, and there was a breeze to keep us cool that evening. So, our efforts were not in vain because we were rewarded with the perfect conditions for this session. Thankfully, we will be seeing Miss Heidi (and here awesome Mom and Dad) one more time in 2018, for their fall session. I can't wait to see how much she has grown and all of the fun things that she will be doing. Until then, I'm so excited to share a few of my favorite images from her Nine Month Session. Enjoy and Happy Tuesday Friends!
