It defiantly wasn’t planned that for my mom’s birthday we would get a new fridge, but hey, whatever works! Quarantine is just full of surprises. Now we finally have a fridge that makes ice!

While I was photographing my sisters as they did homework, Jenna was questioning why I was even shooting and to stoppppp. How could I not photograph when the three of them were perfectly spaced out and showing exactly what it’s like to do online school? Sorry Jenna, I had to do it.

A neighborhood friend requested I take senior portraits of her daughters, which meant I needed to location scout. Thankfully, I had a beautiful park in mind and “willing” models to be stand-ins for test shots. I had to persuade them with TCBY…

Plot twist. Right after these photos were taken, my dad accidentally broke the fridges artery and let all the freon out. What good is a fridge without freon? Rest in peace, fridge. You were a pain in the ass, and the ice maker never worked.

A window at Community House Middle School has sticky notes in the shape of 2020 stuck to it on April 25, 2020, in Charlotte, NC. I wonder what the notes say? Maybe encouraging thoughts for 2020 or notes about how 2020 will be a great year? Who knows, but surely that’s not how this year ended up going. (Photo by Lindsay Kappius)

It was so cute to see her big smile while wearing her new outfit to meet friends. Quarantine has been grim, so seeing smiling faces is lovely! Also, look how cute her outfit is! That hair bandana is typically used as a napkin but shhh nobody has to know!

Jennifer Kappius looks threw binoculars on April 23, 2020, in Charlotte, NC. As a family, we have spent a lot of time on the deck enjoying each other’s company, listening and looking at the birds, and winding down with wine. Quarantine has taught me to enjoy the simpler things in life. (Photo by Lindsay Kappius)

I choose to delete and repost the past few posts so the blog would be chronological. I missed April 22. Sorry for blowing up your email.
