A Pandemic, Lockdown and Pregnancy #2!

Hello beautiful people!

Its been over a year since my last blog post and my what a year its been. 2020 was such a chaotic year for everyone, I don’t think any of us expected it to go the way it did. The whole world has been in and out of lockdown/restrictions for coming up on a year now and its hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel some days. Creating has always been an outlet for me and not being able to be behind my camera was definitely challenging. Each time we were able to open up, I was so nervous to start shooting again as it had been so long between lockdowns.

The first lockdown in March 2020 was scary to say the least. I was able to see my Mum and in-laws due to having cohorts which definitely helped but I don’t think I drove my car in over 2 months. I took my son on 2-3 walks a day with our puppy just to get out of the house. I didn't set foot in a store so the first time I did was daunting. Masks, arrows, plastic dividers…it felt like we were in a movie.

I think we’ve all gotten used to it by this point but still with the uncertainty and the continuing lockdowns and dips and rises in cases there is still a sense of unease. I hope we can get back to some sense or normality soon, I think we all need it.

One wonderful thing that happened during 2020 though was that we became pregnant with baby #2! We are so excited to grow our family and give our son Callum a sibling. Its been another challenge being pregnant during a pandemic and not being able to celebrate with family and friends like we want too.

I will be taking a few months off here at the end of March as we prepare for this little ones arrival. We will take some time to get into a routine as a family of 4, 5 including Chloe! I already have big plans for when I come back. photography is such an important part of my life and I will never not be behind my camera creating.

Stay safe and stay healthy.

Until next time,

Lisa-Marie xo
