I always feel like we’re a season off here on the Central Coast. Spring can’t quite decide what it wants to be. One minute it’s overcast, the next it’s sunny, then the wind shows up like it owns the place. And this day was no exception. The forecast said sunny, but apparently forgot to mention the hurricane-force gusts.
The Campos family was a dream to work with. We had to pause more times than I can count, waiting for the wind to chill out. There was plenty of hair fixing, and we got creative finding those tucked-away corners of the Santa Ynez Valley Botanical Garden where the wind couldn’t reach us. Honestly, it just added to the adventure.
In the end, I couldn’t have been happier with how the photos turned out. And spending time with this sweet, easygoing family made every wind gust worth it. Thank you, Campos family, for trusting me to capture this special time.
