Photo Session Schedule

One aspect that I love about adventure photography is that it can be unpredictable. The weather can change when you arrive at the desired location and sometimes its not what you are hoping for or what you imagined. It could turn out better. So I don’t usually reschedule photo shoots if bad weather is predicted. I like to keep an open mind to what nature will provide me with.
