How can you deal with photo grey glasses?

I was taking outdoor portrait shots of my teenage daughter and her glasses were dark. Is there a way to deal with this without taking the glasses off?

Here is an example.

Usually when we're shooting people outdoors and someone has those type of glasses on (which I also wear) we ask them to stash them away in a pocket or purse for a few minutes. Then we have them quickly put them on when we're ready to shoot (before the glasses have darkened). This works pretty well if you're set up for a single shot like a family portrait, but if you're doing long term sessions with the same person outdoors it can be rough.

Good ideas but do not have photo shop.

I did not think it would be a problem because most of the time was overcast.

I like the idea of hiding them.

How would the pictures appear if the lenses were removed? Could you notice in the pics if they were missing.

I also thought about buying a cheap pair of reading glasses that looks similar.

To eliminate glare or reflections, pro photogs. have used lenless glasses frames for years. I was instructed to borrow a set of frames for my senior pic. back in 1975. It works very well.

Sometimes I can notice the lack of lenses in movies, but I'm looking for that sort of stuff!
