Award winning blogger based out of Rhode Island, Patty Jeffrey contacted me about setting up a “Winter” shoot. With Sweet Berry Farm as there backdrop, she used small trinkets and ornaments to decorate the Christmas trees and get into the mood of the holidays.
In the wake of these unprecedented times, COVID-19 has disrupted our daily lives, changed the way we interact, and caused pain and uncertainty for many. However, through these disruptions new changes have emerged that I love. Aside from having my family home with me, Zoom hangouts with friends and the invention of the “drive-by” birthday caravan have to be my fav. Though we cannot hug and kiss the ones we love, there is still an outpouring of support and devotion for our friends family and neighbors.
As "un normal" as our birthdays might feel like right now...it is so important to continue to document these joyous occasions.
I have recently met Meg, floral designer and business owner of Rockfarm Gardens. After spending time shooting her gorgeous terrariums and lush ecosystems contained within a recycled glass vessels, we switched our focus to mom and son Leo. I spent an hour with Meg and babe, following along in their daily mid-morning routine.
Jumping on the couch, playing and displaying his toys, and trying to school mom in the art of fishing were just a few of the highlights during out time together. It just goes to show that you don’t have to “do” much during a “day in the life photo session.” An ordinary day has so many little moments worth remembering. The way your littlest clings to your leg, carries a baby doll in each hand, or lays their head on your chest. This won’t last forever. Checking under the bed for monsters will soon be a thing of the past, so let’s document these moments before they are gone.
