Podcast 46: Why do we have a season for Powder Sessions.

In Tampa Bay, we have beautiful weather around the year. It can get chilly sometimes but that may last a few days and we return to warmer temps in our winter months. For our Powder Sessions, the weather plays an important factor - too humid and the powder gets lumpy and if it rains… well… there goes your outdoor studio.

We purposely pick November to April for the drier conditions, when the chance of an afternoon storm takes place. Powder Sessions are messy and it’s not something you’d typically do indoors; unless you have a large open space with good ventilation. Usually we get away with our scheduled dates and this year, we had our first weather postponement. It had nothing to do with rain, but temps dropping into the 40’s with gusty winds and wouldn’t make for a fun day freezing outside a tad.

Outdoor Powder Session

Leading up to our Powder Sessions, the weather report is monitored and by the end of the week I’ll send out an email and give my thoughts on the upcoming weather conditions for Tampa. There’s always the chance with the one off storm, but usually in the winter time in Tampa fronts are the main weather driver and the forecast is usually pretty accurate.

With April winding down, we have one more powder session planned and we’ll call it another successful season for Powder Images.
