“The deep roots never doubt spring will come.”
― Marty Rubin

Every year it happens…March arrives and I’m certain that the ground will thaw and flowers will bloom and trees will once again be covered in green. By the time April rolls around, I start to feel a little defeated and I become desperate for warmer days and sunshine.

Everyday, I think “Today is the day. It has to feel like Spring. We NEED Spring.”

Finally, when we reach May, I forget how horrible and long the winter was.

Is it May yet? I would love to fast forward to May & be done with winter for now. Pretty please?

The next best thing that I can do is prepare for Spring’s arrival: plant seeds indoors and watch them pop out of their soil, plan for summer camp and maybe plan a few getaways.

Some of my clients are planning big things for Spring/Summer as well: I’ve got a couple of weddings booked, several corporate headshot events, and high school graduations.

Speaking of high school graduations…

My niece, who lives in Texas, recently came to visit & we spent a couple of days shooting her Senior portraits. You wouldn’t really know it by looking at her, but it felt very much like winter while we were shooting. On the plus side, the sun did come out…so…it could have felt worse, right?

How do you stay upbeat during these last months/days of winter? What are your plans?
