Last Sunday we were scheduled to do an outdoor session with Victoria and her family at Nicollet Island, but had a backup plan to high-tail it to the studio if the weather didn’t cooperate.  We watched the weather and saw that we had a window of sunny skies until about 3pm, at which point, there would be a 30% chance of rain.

As Gretchen and I drove to Nicollet Island, a few raindrops hit the windshield.  We groaned, rolled our eyes, and willed the clouds to hold out for just an hour.  When Victoria pulled up, a few more drops were falling.  We opted to shoot in the sprinkles. 

The girls were troopers!  They were cold, but we moved fast to keep them warm and dry.  We joked that the rain would stop as soon as we got in our cars, and sure enough, it did.  It rained only for the length of our session.  Despite the rain and a few shivers, we got some great photographs and had a very memorable session!
