{Worth the Wait} Hasse Family

I am a true believe that a referral is the best form of flattery. Even better than a referral is returning clients. I had the privilege of photographing senior photos for the Hasse family at the peak of fall. As we exited the gloomy months of winter I was flattered when they reached out for a family session.

Part of working with my clients in understanding what vision they have for our session. I left our initial discussion looking for a location that offered both a barn and a covered bridge. After endless internet research I came across The Grand Ravines.

I am a planner. Instead of booking our session straight away I needed to scout the location entirely. Thankfully I completed my pre-approach work because the desired shooting locations were covered in mud from the winter thaw. In this case I suggested that we delay our session. The truth is I wanted to deliver a gallery consistent with my client’s expectations. Based on our discussion I knew that standing in a mud field with no tree cover was not the ideal conditions.

In the end the wait was worth it. I am pleased to present some of the final images from this gallery. As always, thankful for the Hasse family & the opportunity to work with them once again.
