Default Fog?

I am supposed to be doing a families portrait in the local wetlands on Sunday morning and the forecast is....yes, fog. I usually use natural light and reflectors. Can anyone give me any helpful tips? I'm really not sure how heavy it will be.

Hope you know something about using curves. The lighting in fog is going to be very flat which means you can leave your reflectors at home and you may need to do some things boost contrast in post.

Fog makes everything diffuse and glowy, though I'm not sure there's anything you really need to watch out for. I say rock the fog, should make for some unique images.
