WHY WILL EVERYTHING BE THIS WAY?<\/p>\n
Oh, beloved Spring, you\u2019ve arrived boldly once again \u2014 I hummed my favorite lines to myself, while inside, nine pots of hopeless thoughts boiled: yet again, that BELOVED SPRING seemed to have no place for a photoshoot.
\nThe outdoors \u2014 ruled out.
\nBecause more than the sun rolling across the blue sky or the birds chirping on branches of blooming trees, right in front of my eyes, victory dances were being stomped on by large chunks of melting slush, and the sky\u2019s color reminded me of the most faded black T-shirt.<\/p>\n
If outdoor spaces were ruled out, it had to be indoors.
\nHome \u2014 visible.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve never really warmed up to concept-heavy photo studios.
\nWhat else? What else? I tapped my fingertips on the table, knowing that the deadline was fast approaching \u2014 the day when Spring must be \u201cpacked\u201d into photos \u2014 and let my inner peace go on vacation.<\/p>\n
Until finally:
\nMy husband and I bowed our heads together, picked out spots that \u201cmight\u201d work as Spring backgrounds, and set off on a search.<\/p>\n
We scrolled through potential locations, sighing.
\nWe sighed and scrolled.<\/p>\n
And finally, late one evening, I closed the blue computer screen.
\nThe next morning, rested and with a clear head, I woke up with thoughts \u201cin bloom\u201d:<\/p>\n
\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter where.
\nWhat matters is with whom, and how.\u201d<\/p>\n
That mindset awakened me.<\/p>\n
The photoshoot included the same team I always work with.
\nWe had the most wonderful, girlish time, when after a long workday, wiping off makeup, we collapsed in front of a cozy, crackling fireplace with \u201cwell-earned\u201d bubbles and the incredibly uplifting movie Mamma Mia.<\/p>\n
We ate Martina\u2019s endlessly prepared, delicious homemade food \u2014 which, as we learned from her message in the chat the night before, accompanied by a photo of a shopping cart overflowing with groceries from the store, was preceded by her teasing: \u201cI\u2019ll pamper you, little darlings.\u201d<\/p>\n
We laughed a lot.
\nWe worked just as hard.<\/p>\n
My ears were filled with Erika the Photographer\u2019s traditional sighs, which in words mean:
\n\u201cI don\u2019t like it \u2014 let\u2019s change the angle.\u201d<\/p>\n
And shouts that lifted us to the clouds:
\n\u201cViktoryt, wow, how beautiful!\u201d<\/p>\n
We giggled until half past two.
\nWe discussed all of our little heartaches.
\nThen, using our feminine brains, we tried to figure out how to extinguish the damp logs smoldering in the fireplace.<\/p>\n
For a moment, we panicked that \u2014 God forbid \u2014 the logs would mess up our heads, which would be terribly needed for the second day of the photoshoot.
\nThen we aired the room.
\nAnd danced to \u201cI Can Buy Myself Flowers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Finally, we realized it wasn\u2019t the fireplace making our heads spin, but the spring BLOOM we had brought with us.
\nComfortably nestled in a large basket, unfolding in large white clusters of hyacinths.<\/p>\n
Blooming, and intoxicated by the flowering and the good feeling.
\nWe obediently arranged Spring for the photos.<\/p>\n
Without even remembering that some time ago, our heads had been spinning not from blooms,
\nbut from the fiery, angry thoughts that Spring had no space to dance.<\/p>\n
It was photographed in a simple, unassuming country house.
\nWith extraordinary people and the feeling that Spring doesn\u2019t start in the surroundings,
\nbut deep in the heart, and bursts forth from the simplest, most everyday things.<\/p>\n
