🌧️ Rain, Blowouts & Real Life — The Cafferty Family Session in Logan Canyon

When Everything Goes “Wrong”… and Still Feels Right 🤍

Family sessions rarely go exactly as planned—and honestly? That’s part of the magic.

I met up with the Cafferty family — Liz, Dylan, Ollie, Chip, and baby Isla — in Logan Canyon on a day that looked perfect. Clear blue skies, fresh mountain air, and that calm feeling that makes you think, oh yeah, this is going to be easy.

Narrator voice: it was not. 😅

A Blowout, Then a Downpour

As we started walking toward our spot, their newest addition, Isla, decided it was the perfect moment for a full-on baby blowout. If you’ve had kids (or photographed families long enough), you know exactly how this goes.

While we were mid clean-up, the skies shifted—and suddenly, it was dumping rain.

Cue:

• scrambling

• laughing

• mild chaos

• and a very quick pivot to “let’s just try”

Rushing the Session, Keeping the Memories

We didn’t have much time, but we made it work. We moved fast, embraced the rain, and focused on what mattered: connection over perfection.

And honestly? We still captured some incredibly sweet moments:

🤍 Kids huddled close

🤍 Parents laughing through it

🤍 That cozy, we’re-in-this-together energy

Even soaked, the love showed through.

We decided pretty quickly that we’d plan a second session on a day that didn’t involve emergency wardrobe changes and rainstorms—but I’m so glad we didn’t call it a total loss.

Because real life happened… and that deserves to be documented too.
