Clients always worry when we are having overcast days in Austin. I get so many emails, texts and calls asking if we should postpone sessions because there isn’t a bright shining sun. So I’m going to tell you an industry secret…
Cloudy days are the BEST!
I love cloudy days. I often take my kids out to take theirs photos if it’s a cloudy day and avoid sunny days. The lighting is beautiful. It’s soft and you don’t have to worry about shadows on your face. Cloudy days open up tons of location possibilities because you don’t have to worry about finding shade. There are a couple downside like you can’t get that gorgeous sunset photo but I promise your gallery will be so beautiful that you won’t miss it.
Check out a few images from a recent maternity session I did on a beautiful cloudy day below.
They were so sweet and I can’t wait to meet their little one soon!
