Six Feet Apart | The Gruse Family
Meet your neighbors, the Gruse Family!
All portraits were captured in March of 2020, using the safety guidelines of the CDC. Portraits were also taken from over 12 feet or more using a zoom 70mm-300mm lens and portraits were also cropped in post production.
WHAT IS THE MOST CHALLENGING PART OF THIS CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC ARE YOU EXPERIENCING NOW?
It's a daily battle to not let the little things bother me. It's new to work from home, with all 3 kids at home, and my hubby laid off. It's just a lot to figure out 'on the spot'. Everything is changing daily, so it really is just one day at a time.
WHAT IS THE MOST POSITIVE THING YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED DURING THIS TIME?
It's funny because it's the same as what is challenging. Being home, together, is such a blessing, All the little moments that would otherwise be forgotten. Reading books with the kids, sleeping in, playing barbies, dancing in the living room, late movie nights, no rushed mornings. Everything has slowed down and it really is lovely.
WHAT DO YOU WANT YOUR CHILDREN/FAMILY TO MOST REMEMBER ABOUT DURING THIS TIME?
How much we love. Each other, our family, our friends, and everyone, really. If we have tears, it's because our heart aches for people who are hurting. Not because we're scared. We trust that God has a plan, we're all learning from this, and that He will provide anything we need. Thankful that God is in control.
