Heavenly Father sure had a hand in this photoshoot. Virginia is my friend and neighbor. Her husband died of Covid 9 months ago. They haven't had family pictures since before their 7 year old was born. For her birthday she asked her kids to do pictures with her. She has two kids on the spectrum, one with social anxiety, one with a bilateral cleft and a niece living with them after being kicked out of the house a week before high school graduation. She was not anticipating being able to get very good smiling pictures, let alone get her kids to stand next to each other very long. I was worried about the lighting because we've had a heat wave. Her son almost couldn't get work off and it started raining the morning of the shoot. That's where God stepped it. Rain brought clouds which makes much better lighting. All the kids were kind and smiling. The one with social anxiety had no problems with me. And it started lightning and raining as soon as we got to our cars. We didn't have to rush or anything.
They brought their husband/dad's favorite hat, a bear he'd given their oldest at birth and a sign. Every time those were in the pictures we used it to signify Dad was there.
