I think I just go so wrapped up in the excitement of finally getting to see good friends that I missed like crazy (who had the nerve to move out of state) that I forgot about things like, oh, the weather. I mean, seriously. Let’s be honest here people. How often does a southern California photographer really have to think about the possibility of a shoot being rained out? Even in January, it’s not exactly that often. Add to that the media coverage about how this is, nationwide, the DRIEST January EVER recorded… well, let’s just say I was stunned to look out my window on Monday at the pouring rain. Umm, hello, doesn’t the weather know I have a shoot to do with people who left Seattle and her rain to be in California where that just shouldn’t be an issue? Being rained out happens so infrequently that it’s like its brand new to me every time. I feel like I scramble in what-do-I-do-now mode for a good 20 minutes before I figure something out. It’s sort of pitiful actually.
Fortunately, Lizz and Luis had just enough time this morning – this glorious sunny NOT RAINING California morning – before having to catch their flight home. And I can’t tell you how glad I was that they did! You see, when Lizz texted me the photo of her positive pregnancy test last September, I was completely overjoyed for them. Truly. Because they’re the kind of people that I think are really going to be good at this whole parenting thing. And let’s face it, they’ll have incredibly cute babies. But I had no idea that just a few days later, I’d be texting her the same thing back… Yup. Lizz and I are only a week apart in our due dates. Even though it’s 90% via text, it’s be soo much fun to share this pregnancy with a friend (even across 1,135 miles…).
So L+L, thanks for letting being so flexible and for letting me capture a little of this totally unique time in your lives. Me and the fam, we pretty much love you guys like crazy! And if you ever feel the urge to move back to California, you know you’ll find a whole cheering section ready to talk you into it.![]()
