Family at the Fort | {family time} | southern illinois lifestyle photographer

You know the expression ‘when it rains, it pours?’ Well, it was especially true this day! We tried so hard to beat the rain & then we tried to wait it out, but Mother Nature wasn’t having either of those choices! So, as they say, ‘when life gives you lemons, make lemonade’ which is exactly what we did 😀 hovered under umbrellas & fighting herds of mosquitos, we bounced from one backdrop to another, smiling all the way 😀 I can’t even complain about it because the photos look great! i do have to give a big kudos to the family, though, because they were genuinely good sports about it {as you can tell by their genuine smiles} needless to say, we showed Mother Nature who was boss! Big hugs to my friend Kory & to his family for splashing in the puddles with me 😀
