School and life at home during a pandemic
When schools shut down because of coronavirus back in March of 2020, it felt surreal. When schools decided to go virtual in the fall of 2020, it felt serious. I wasn’t the only one feeling the historic weight of this decision on our children, and I’m so glad photographer and blogger Kita Bryant wanted to capture this moment for her family.
It was a privilege to photograph what this family’s life looked like as they went back to school remotely during their first week of school. The kids worked through their school responsibilities and managed to fit in household chores as well. Kita casually balanced running a business with being a music teacher, a PE teacher, and a mother.
I often wonder how hindsight will change our understanding of the decisions we are making right now. I think about how kids will look back at this time, and I wonder what they will think. Who’s to say how they will feel about how their lives changed during this pandemic, but I hope at the very least these kids look back at it and remember how awesome it was to have a little extra time with their mom during the day.
