I love it when I can put my video camera down for a bit and be an omaha family photographer. So many great experiences getting to know beautiful families such as this. As I was driving out to the Loess Hills to take these family photos my heart sank as the clouds rolled in and the rain came down. I pulled up into the farm and the family was gathered underneath a canopy on the barn. We made quick work of it. They would run out when it wasn’t pouring too much and a friend of the family held an umbrella over me as I took the photos. It all worked out and we had tons of fun. What’s the saying, ‘turning lemons into lemonade’? As it turned out, the family was so happy to capture everyone together! Could we have used more sun, sure, sure. Even when the conditions aren’t perfect, it just makes being an omaha family photographer more challenging and fun! I was reminded again why family photos are so important, because they bring your family together. They create joy and in some circumstances can bring comfort and healing. Family dynamics changes…spouses change and loved ones pass away but when you do family photos regularly, the family legacy can be preserved.
