This beautiful family wanted a unique portrait. I'd photographed their wedding years before. Now, I had the distinct honor of photographing them again with their charming daughter. I explained that when we go outside, despite having some visual skills, I have no control over the weather.
Well, late in the shoot, after we had already taken a few nice images, the skies just lit up. The trick was to incorporate the diagonal sweep of the clouds into the composition. Notice that the family's eyes are gazing in the same direction as the lines of the clouds. To finish the image, I placed an auxiliary light--with a warming gel--to the right of the family. Shazam!
