How Do I Know When To Reschedule My Photoshoots?
Oh hey! This week on Your Photographer Mom, we are diving into a topic all photographers have to think about at least a couple times every spring – and fall, too! The question? How do I know when to reschedule my photoshoots?
As someone who lives (and loves!) somewhere where there can be absolutely wild weather, this is such a fun topic and one I can’t wait to share with you! Rescheduling can be a total bummer but, if you have a system or clear cut circumstances where you don’t shoot portrait sessions, it’ll be a whole lot easier as you build out your calendar! // Want a good hint? Build rain dates into your calendar, especially in unpredictable months!
Also yesss. Yes I do talk a lot about tornado watches in this episode, lol.
Here’s A Quick Summary About Our Topic Today!

Wanna Know This Episode in One Quote? You Know I’ve Got You!
“When you have a shoot here and there, rescheduling honestly isn’t a big deal every once in a while. If you have a packed calendar, though, it can get really jam packed really fast if you have a week of bad weather. Ask yourself: Do you like the idea of shooting indoors? How do you feel about shooting in cloudy weather? Most importantly, would you rather be flexible with dates or flexible with weather?
Remember! There is no one right way to do anything or everything. When you’re actively shooting a full calendar, it can help to make decisions before the day of a session. If you always reschedule if there’s a 50% chance of rain, you’ll know that you want to reschedule on a rainy day.”
