Playing in the Rain

This pregnancy announcement session didn’t go how we planned. The weather was against us from the start, and it poured the entire time. No breaks, no light drizzle—just full-on rain.

But Indiya took it in stride. She didn’t mind the wet hair or the rain on her face, and just went with it. It actually suited the mood of the session really well—natural, relaxed, nothing too staged.

Little Haven was a total trooper. She didn’t care about getting wet, didn’t fuss at all, and was just happy to be out there. It made the whole shoot feel easy, despite the weather.

The autumn leaves gave us a great backdrop, even in the rain—lots of colour and texture that added something extra to the shots. And the handicam footage we captured ended up being one of the highlights. There’s something about video that holds onto the small, in-between moments.

In the end, it wasn’t the session we expected, but it felt real—and that’s what mattered most.

If you’ve been thinking about capturing this season — with your babies, your mum, or both — now’s the time. Flick me a message and let’s make it happen.
