Bloom by Bethany Deschamp

April 2, 2017

this year, i wasn’t sure i was going to make it to the cherry blossom festival during their bloom. being a new mama, picking up my camera for personal work is limited to in between nap times and for about 15 minutes at a time right now. i have been craving a photography outing and an opportunity to pick up my camera for more than a few minutes. photography is simply something that refreshes me, so when my friend megan invited me along to photograph the cherry blossoms with her, i didn’t even need to think before wanting to go. while the weather was a tad chilly and our noses were pink by the end of the outing, we enjoyed 2 1/2 hours of photography, chatting and enjoying the beautiful cherry blossoms.

it always amazes me how therapeutic photography is for me. it involves a lot of trial and error, at times. but it also allows me to just tune out everything in my surroundings and see the world through my camera. i am given the freedom to portray my surroundings in a unique way and simply allow that creative part of me free.
