What I do when Oregon decides to do what it does best...RAIN on photoshoot day.

If you are in the Pacific Northwest you know that unless it's the dead of summer, there is a big chance it is going to rain.

So what do we do if it rains on branding picture day?

Here are our go-to plans if we get bad weather.

All of our branding photoshoots come with at least 2 locations.

If it's the rainy season (so basically everything but August), one of those locations is most likely indoors.

1. Plan an indoor location that has great outdoor spots within walking distance.

   Our studio in Oregon City Oregon is right on Main street in a historic building.

   While it's raining we do all our indoor shots but as soon as we get a break in the rain we pop outside and shoot as much as we can.

2. Have a plan B.

   Know you don't want in-studio pictures?

   Once you choose a location find an indoor plan B option nearby.

   Cafes, restaurants, or bars are perfect for this.

   You can also use the lobby of office buildings and even shopping malls to create some great pictures.

   Just keep in mind, if you are in a private location you need to get permission to shoot there.

3. Take pictures in your home or office.

   This is a great way to show your personality and what your day-to-day life is like.

   Don't have a home that is Insta-worthy?

   Check out places you can rent by the hour on Peerspace, Avvay, Homestudio list, and even Airbnb.

   You can find some amazing locations on these sites

   Bonus, these would be a business expense.
