Socially Distant, Closer Than Ever

Behind the Scenes

Westerville & Columbus Newborn Photographer | Tami Harris Photography

Take a moment, close your eyes and breathe deeply. I don't know about you, but I find myself doing that a lot these days. Between the daunting reports on nearly every newscast, the stress of the kids, (Can I get an Amen?!) and the monotony of what feels like Groundhog Day, let me share with you what's encouraged me. Simply put, social distancing has brought me closer to nature; shifting my focus from the present day's uncertainty and putting my focus on the beautiful gift God has given us in his Creation.

I know it may be a bit out of your comfort zone, but frankly, isn't all of this?! So your mission, should you choose to accept it: Break out that camera or even your cell phone, take a walk and slowly, intentionally look for the beautiful reminders that we have all around us. Capture the way that vine climbs your trellis. Watch the seemingly aimless wanderings of that ant on the sidewalk. Whatever it is, soak in these moments. Capture them with your camera and put a positive spin on what you see, feel and remember during this pandemic. There is beauty in this chaos, Friend. You've just got to be looking for it. Happy shooting!
