“i Wish There Was A Way To Know You're In "the Good Old Days", Before You've Actually Left Them.” -the Office 🤍 This Quote From The Office Has Been Weighing On Me The Past Few Days. I Think It’s The Reminder That We All Need. 🤍 I’ve Been Wishing To Get Back To The Way Things Were. With This Quarantine And The Uncertainty Of Business, I Find Myself Thinking Of “the Good Old Days.” 🤍 With My Birthday On Saturday And Getting Another Year Older, I’ve Been Missing The Days Of Less Grey Hair (or The Ability To Get It Dyed!🙃). Missing Being Skinner. Missing Being Younger. 🤍 As I’ve Been Wishing For The Good Ol Days, I’m Letting These Moments Now Past Me By. Times Like Now That I Used To Wish For. 🤍 Wishing For Time. Time To Read. Time To Work On My Courses For My Business. Time To Relax. Time To Be With My Girls. Time With My Husband. I’m Missing What’s Going On Right Now. My Daughters’ Maturing. My Husband Saving The Day And Being The Man Of The House. All The Cooking. The Family Meals. The Family Game Nights. Time. I Wished To Be Wiser. I Wished For Maturity. Hell, Every Day As A Kid I Wished To Be Older. 🤍 And Here I Am... Wishing For It To Go Away. 🤍 Yes, Times Are Hard Right Now And Believe Me You Guys, I’m Not Immune To It. 🤍 But There Is Good In Today. There’s Good In These Times. And When We Get Back To Our “new Normal”, Whenever That Is, We Will Be Wishing For What We Have Right Now. 🤍 So, Look On The Bright Side. The Best You Can. Everyday. Today Is The Good Ol Day.... 🤍 Shoes: @jimmychoo Mat: @kissbooks

Taking That First Walk As Mr. & Mrs. Is The Best Feeling Ever! ????

From The Tiny Home The Got Ready In, To The Off-road Drive To The Trailhead, Several-mile Hike, Gorgeous Weather, Epic Canyon, Private Ceremony And Stargazing At The Milky Way - Each Moment Of Josh And Rachel’s Elopement Day Was Truly Intentional, Filled With So Much Emotional And Physical Freedom For Them On The Day They Wed 🙌🏽. They Chose To Get Married Their Way, Resulting In The Most Real, Raw And Authentic Day. Here’s Their Story: ⠀⠀ “rather Than A Big Wedding, We Chose To Put Our Efforts Into Going Somewhere And Seeing Something Breathtaking While We Exchanged Vows, Rather Than Just Pushing Out Our Ceremony So That It Would Be More Traditional. It Was So Nice To Be One With Each Other In That Special Moment Rather Than Experiencing The Stress Of A Big Wedding. We Chose Our Specific Location Based On The Views, Difficulty Of The Hike, And On What Was Open Since So Many Places Were Still Closed Due To Covid-19. Neither Of Us Had Actually Been To Zion National Park, Much Less That Specific Location, Before Our Utah Elopement Day!” ⠀⠀ Josh And Rachel Also Said: “the Best Part Of Our Zion National Park Utah Elopement Day Was Being Able To Just Look Out Over The Landscape And See God’s Creation At Work Together. After Our Vows, It Was So Nice To Let Our Feet Dangle, Lean On One Another As A Married Couple, And Wait For The Stars To Come Out.” ⠀⠀ Allllll This And More Just Hit The Blog 🧡 Go Check Out More Of Their Story!

Despite Everything, We Have To Adapt To Reality And, As A Stationer, My Advice To Act In The Best Way. My Top Advice Is: 1. Use Your Website To Updated All The Details So Your Guests Can Be Informed. 2. On The Other Hand, When You Inform About The Postponement, Try To Be Clear And Brief, To Avoid Confusing Your Guests. . Did You Postpone Your Wedding Day?

“our Original Wedding Plans Were Postponed Due To Covid, And At The Very Last Minute, We Decided To Go Through With Getting Married On Our Original Wedding Date Anyway. We Contacted Whitney About A Week Beforehand, And She Was Miraculously Available! Upstate Ny Had Just Lifted Its Shelter-in-place Restrictions, So The Timing Couldn't Have Been Better. My Husband And I Eloped From Nyc To Lake George And Did A Virtual Wedding Entirely Over Zoom. Whitney Was Insanely Helpful Throughout The Entire Process. Even Though Everything Was So Last Minute, She Scouted Out Our Location, Helped Us Figure Out Ceremony/photo Shoot Timing To Optimize For The Best Light, Suggested Local Floral Vendors And Thought Of Fun Photo Opps, Like Getting Rose Petals We Could Toss In The Air. The Day Of The Wedding, She Captured Absolutely Everything, From My Husband Buttoning My Dress Himself Blindfolded (#covidlove), To My Trip Down The "aisle" As He Held The Laptop So Our Family Could See Me, To Doing Virtual Toasts And Laughing With Our Families Over Zoom. We Also Did A Thorough Portrait Shoot Beforehand And Got Some Really Beautiful Shots. Whitney Made The Whole Process So Fun. As Someone Who Can Be Awkward In Front Of The Camera, I Appreciated That She Gave A Good Amount Of Direction For The Portraits While Also Stealthily Capturing The Most Beautiful Natural, Candid Shots. I Thought The Ceremony Pictures Would Be Awkward/boring (at The End Of The Day, We Were Talking To A Computer Screen), But She Captured The Emotion, And Those Ended Up Being Some Of Our Favorite Photos. Oh And Did I Mention Whitney Did All Of This While Social Distancing, Somehow Staying Well Over 6 Ft Away From Us The Entire Time? She Is A Miracle Worker. The Cherry On Top Is That We Got Both Our Previews And Full Photo Gallery Extremely Quickly, Much Earlier Than We Expected. Since We Eloped Due To Covid And Didn't Have Our Families With Us, Photos Were Extremely Important To Us Because We Wanted To Capture The Memories From The Day And Be Able To Share Them With The Family And Friends Who Couldn't Be There With Us. Whitney Did All Of This And More. She Honestly Made Our Dreams Come True.”

Hello, Friends. Being Quiet This Past Week Has Given Me A Lot Of Time To Reflect, Listen, Learn, Unlearn, And Decide How I Want To Move Forward As Both An Individual And As A Business Owner. This Process Has Been Uncomfortable, Hard, And Downright Challenging, As It Should Be. . • I Will Never Truly Understand What It Is Like And What It Means To Be Black In America Because I Was Born White And Given All The Privilege That Comes With It. I Have Benefited From The Very Same Systems That Work Against And Oppress Poc. However, I Am Determined To Be A Part Of The Solution And To Use My Privilege & Platform To Fight For The One Thing So Many Of Us Are Seeking, Equality. . • As I Start To Resume Posting About All The Love Stories I Have Captured And Continue To Capture, I Want To Be Transparent About The Work Going On On The Other Side Of Those Little Squares. I've Registered For Seminars, Begun Reading Several Books, And Listened To Podcasts Centered Around Black Americans, The History Of Slavery In This Country, And The Conversation Of How To Be An Anti-racist. I'll List The Exact Resources I've Been Using So That You Too, Can Join In Getting Educated. . • This Isn't A One-week Process. This Will Be A Life Long Journey To Ensure That Our Black Friends, Neighbors, And Families Have An Equal And Safe Place In The World. • As I Head Back To Work This Season, I Cannot Wait To Showcase To You The Best Part Of Life That I Get To Photograph...love. Love Is Something That Sees Color, Size, Gender, Race, Religion, Identity, And Acknowledges The Importance Of The Experience That Comes With Those Characteristics. Love Then Becomes Deeper Because Of Them. . • Choose Love. And Be An Anti-racist.✌ • @brenebrown's Podcast Episodes With @ibramxk And @austinchanning @nytimes Podcast “1619” Which Reframes Our Country’s Narrative Around Its History Of Slavery. “so You Want To Talk About Race” From Seattle’s Very Own @ijeomaoluo “white Fragility” By Robin Diangelo “how To Be An Anti-racist” By @ibramxk Donating To @thelovelandfoundation Taking Class From @tomayiacolvin For “am I Doing The Work: Anti-racism Course For Photographers”

I've Wrote This Twice Already And It's Deleted, Twice. It's Not Been A Very Technological Morning. Let's Just Call It User Error. 😄 I Can't Help But Find It Funny. I'm So Determined To Show Up And Share What I've Been Experiencing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Anyways, Are You Starting To Feel Hopeful? Because I Am. Life Can Be Hard, But It Can Be So Hopeful And Beautiful.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've Had To Mourn What I Thought Life Would Be Like Right Now. People's Lives Have Changed. We Are Realizing That Our Love And Health Are So Important. During This Time, I've Been So Sad Thinking About How Couple's Dreams For Their Celebration Are Gone. Even My Twin Sister Had To Change Her Wedding Plans. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One Of My Favorite Parts Of Wedding Days Is Using All The Pretty Things To Tell Part Of Love Stories. I Especially Love Vows. Since I Haven't Been Able To Share Their Stories. I Decided I Can Tell Mine In A Pretty Way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I Have So Much Love In My Life Right Now. I'm Incrediblely Blessed. If You Don't Know, I Have The Best 3 Year Old Son And I've Been In A Relationship With The Man Of My Dreams For The Past Six Months. He Has Been My Rock And My Light. He Literally Is The Calm To My Crazy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How Are You Staying Creative And Finding The Light During This Time? We Need Some Positivity. If You Still Need Time To Mourn, That's Okay Too! I'm All About Feeling The Negative Emotions. Because Once You Feel Those, You Can Truly Move Forward.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thanks To Logan's Flower Friend @bloomsdunnright For These Beautiful Flowers. I've Been Blessed By Your God Given Gift. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #scbmember #findingthelight #create #styling #weddingflatlay #flatlay #lawedding #californiawedding #lightphotography #weddingphotographer #aboutme #tellstories #elegantwedding

If A Styled Wedding Flatlay Is A Priority For Your Photographer To Capture, Then You Are Going To Want To Make Sure That You Prep These Items And Have Them Ready To Go For Your Photographer. Weddings Go By In A Blur, The Last Thing You Want Is For Yourself Or Your Bridal Squad To Be Running Around Collecting Your Flatlay Items While Your Photographer Is Standing Around Waiting..⠀ ⠀ I Always Recommend Gathering Your Items In Advance And Having Them In 2 Separate Boxes (his&hers). You Can Pass These Boxes Off To Your Planner And They’ll Make Sure It’s Ready To Go For Your Photographer. If You’re Not Hiring A Planner, Then Pass These Off To Your Moh And Ensure They Have It Ready For When Your Photographer Arrives. ⠀ ⠀ What To Include In Your Flatlay:⠀ Invitation Suite & Program⠀ Escort/place Cards⠀ Rings (his & Hers) & Jewelry⠀ Ring Box⠀ Bridal Shoes⠀ Bride’s Dress On A Hanger⠀ Perfume & Cologne⠀ Loose Flowers & Boutonnières⠀ Groom’s Shoes⠀ Bowtie & Cuff Links⠀ Personals Like Handwritten Notes, Vows Or Vow Books⠀ ⠀ A Styled Flatlay Can Take Anywhere From 30-60 Minutes. To Make The Best Use Of Your Photographer’s Time, Have These Items Ready For Them So That They Can Begin Promptly. Also Make Sure Your Florist Drops Off Your Personals (bouquets, Boutonnières, Extra Loose Florals) 15-30 Minutes Prior To Your Photographer’s Arrival Time.⠀ ⠀ What Did Y’all Think Of This #tiptuesday?
