What do we do about the weather?

Mostly enjoy it! But on the occasion that it's not so much fun there are some options to work with.

Some days it's windy enough to fly a brick on a string. Depending on the direction we can reduce that by changing locations, if we have a strong East or Nor'east breeze we can go soundside at the Whalehead Club or Salvo day use area, or use Currituck or Bodie Island lighthouse for your background. Some large families can set up on the west facing grand entrance type stairs at their rental which can be a nice perspective for their portraits. And sometimes you just laquer the hair down and go for it!

If it's raining and you've got the space and opportunity we can work indoors and still try to pull off an ocean view or gather 'round the fireplace or even shoot on a covered deck if it's big enough. We can try and reschedule you for better days if one of us is going to be scheduled in your area and you can re-form your crew. Sometimes we can check the radar for the next break and wait it out.

In the event of a hurricane, well, at least you have a home somewhere safe to head to while we take pictures of the Weather Channel guys leaning into the pretend wind.

So the short answer is, in the event of bad weather we'll try to work something out so we can have some fun with your family, and if we can't make it happen this time we'll see you next year!
