It was 7:00 am and surprise-surprise, it was foggy and drizzly. I could have easily been bummed, but took it as an opportunity.
Being inspired by a course on Clickin Moms called Lighting 201 | Natural Light with Atmosphere, that I have the pleasure of helping in, I decided to embrace the elements … and decide which of my boys would embrace them with me. 
I knew Gage would be a shoe-in, because he loves to help his mama out.
We shot mostly in a light rain and were done by 7:45am. I was soaked up to my armpits from the wet tall grass and learned 2 valuable lessons:
1) Don’t wear flipflops when shooting in the wet tall grass
2) Keep the shutter speed above 1/400 when shooting with the 135mm 2.0 {and even higher when a toddler is pulling on your leg!}
If you are inspired by light and want to also pull inspiration from the atmosphere around you, I completely recommend Megan Squires‘ Lighting 201 course. You don’t have to be a member on CM to sign-up for the course and the next run starts June 18th! Soon! I know there are only a few spaces left and once again, I’ll be a teaching assistant along with Kristin Ingalls and Jodi Arego. Photography friends … I hope to see you there!

I love this! Such dreamy light and great drama. What a trooper that Gage.
Oh, the many faces of sweet, sweet Doot. What a precious boy. It makes me want to look at the first photo of yesterday’s post and feel his loving hug!
XO to Gage
XOXO to C&K too
