I try to pick a weekend every fall to head back to where I grew up out in Western MA, in the Berkshires. Aside from the obvious perks of visiting home, being with my family, and just relaxing, I will also pick up a session or two for friends who still live out there. Last year I had the great timing of going home on a weekend when this family was also going to be around, so we set up a session! Unfortunately for us, the weather that weekend was beyond awful – forecasted steady, pouring rain. The. Entire. Time. We decided to run with it, and hope the rain would taper off for at least a little while…and it did! Not for long, and it wasn’t some miraculous sun-filled day, but it stopped long enough for us to take advantage of the beautiful foliage and their farmer’s porch. It is always wonderful seeing old friends, and this time was no different. Thanks, D Family, for having me over, and enduring the miserable drizzle with me!
