Ohio weather is finicky, to say the least
Ohio weather changes. A lot. Realistically, you can't predict the weekend until about 3 days beforehand,
and even then if the chance of rain is less than 50%, you can wait until the day before or day of.
What do we do if the forecast is not great for your scheduled date?

make a back-up plan
Option 1 - Reschedule
Option 2 - Move to a location where there is cover
Option 3 - Move to an indoor location
Option 4 - Move to backgrounds in your home or at my studio
Are these options all ALWAYS available? No. Especially during peak times. Sometimes I'm booked back-to-back with sessions all at one location. If that's the case, I may not be able to come to your home when everyone around you decided to stick it out. Then we'd have to reschedule.
When do we decide if we're using the back-up plan? That depends. Light chance of rain? Morning of, unless you have hair that will frizz. ;) Too cold or hot for your family? As soon as the Wednesday before. Having the back up plan in place makes it easy to switch. :)

locations with cover
Homestead Park in Hilliard has a covered bridge.
The Everal Barn at Heritage Park in Westerville has a HUGE barn overhang, as well as brick-porches.
Can we get variety under a bridge? Sure. We can shoot DOWN the bridge/overhang, then out every side.
I've done it many times. It works. :)
