Late fall portraits in Oregon can be a bit tricky when you want a beautiful outdoor portrait. Even a relatively decent day can present challenges that make it hard to achieve a high quality image. Here I shot the Barnhart family on a marginal day where it had been raining, and threatening clouds still loomed low on the mountainside. With some scouting beforehand, a little patience, and a bit of extra lighting we were able to come up with a very nice result.
