Why I’m Obsessed with Outdoor Family Sessions (Even When Texas Throws a Tantrum)

Texas Weather: Drama Queen Extraordinaire

Let’s get real: Texas weather has a flair for the dramatic. One minute it’s sun-soaked golden hour, the next it’s a surprise thunderstorm trying to steal the show. But here’s the thing this diva weather actually makes for the most epic photos.

I mean, who doesn’t love a little wildness? It’s like Mother Nature’s way of reminding us life isn’t perfect and that’s where the magic lives.

Why I Say YES to Wind, Wildflowers, and Even the Occasional sprinkle

Most photographers run for cover when the wind starts blowing or the clouds roll in. Me? I grab my camera tighter and get excited.

Wind adds movement (hello, flowy dresses and messy hair that looks like a wild child just won a race!). Wildflowers? Nature’s confetti. Rain drops? Bonus points for authenticity and sparkle.

Embracing these natural elements means your photos will be bursting with life, feeling honest and totally you.

The Magic of Natural Light (Even When It’s Messy)

Forget harsh flash and stiff studio setups natural light is my love language.

Sure, sometimes it’s soft and buttery, and other times it’s moody and dramatic. Either way, it sets the stage for real moments and glowing skin (plus, it’s way more fun to play outside).

How Outdoor Sessions Help Families Connect and Relax

There’s something about being outside that frees people up to be themselves. Kids run, parents laugh, and everyone forgets about “posing” because we’re too busy chasing golden hour light or watching birds (or trying not to trip over roots).

This relaxed vibe means the emotions and connections you see in your photos? Totally genuine.

What to Expect When We Brave the Elements Together

I’ll be your hype-woman for wild hair and impromptu dance parties when the wind kicks up. We’ll celebrate the messy, imperfect, beautiful moments because that’s where the real story lives.

Bonus: If the weather is truly uncooperative (like full-on storms), we’ll reschedule, but I’m all about chasing that Texas light, sprinkling or shine.
