*waving from the trenches*
Channeling my inner “thumbs up Rambo” for this busy season 🙃
Being up at 2-3am everyday seems to be the only time I can get any semblance of work done. The piles of galleries to be processed, the bookings that are finally coming around after months & years of planning — the driving, the timelines, the things that go wrong, the things that go right… anything & everything outside of photography (because yes, I am human with 3 kids and a personal life. I wish I were a machine)… my list could go on. But one thing that ALWAYS keeps me trying to putter on is the reaction from my couples.
I’m sad once I send off galleries because that usually marks the end of my relationship with clients. Which, don’t get me wrong, I understand I’m just “hired help” and no one special but I truly do put a lot of love & hard work into building a friendship, into images & creating art that you can be proud of. When I don’t get a thank you or acknowledgement after delivery — it’s cool, I get that your transaction is done… but messages like Kait’s REALLY seals a crack in my heart. (Be like Kait ✨🫶🏼)
Photography is more than just pressing a button. Capturing your memories is therapy for me… Fun fact— I started photography when I was in an abusive relationship & I lived through my clients. Getting out on shoots used to be the only time I was allowed out of the house & it was the only time I could have an ounce of happiness. Once I found mine, I continued to try and still bring happiness to others. Fast forward to now 13 years later and it’s the smallest, simplest message like hers that helps me begin to believe I’m still doing SOMETHING worthy 🤍
If you’re planning a wedding/elopement with very few to no guests and no formal reception — let’s chat.
