I’m being real when I say, I have absolutely no

I’m being real when I say, I have absolutely no plans for this Saturday. I’m by no means in a panic... it's supposed to be gross and rainy here in Delaware so it won't be a beach day... but I thought maybe you could help out.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Should I...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A: Finish reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
B: Actually put jeans and make up on to just lounge around with Maho,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
C: Write blog posts to share past sessions with ya'll?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
OR…is there an option D? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Help me out!

It's Thursday and I'm tired. How about you?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In other news, I loved these lanterns as a way to add some color up in this space. Balloons would have been fun, too.

This review right here... this is what I strive for! This bride left me a review shortly after receiving her wedding gallery and IT SPARKS JOY.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Reviews help me grow and learn and figure out what I'm doing right (or wrong). They help me improve. Reviews allow me to feel real good about the moments I'm delivering and further impress upon me the responsibility that I hold each and every wedding day. They help other couples make decisions, too!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm sure some of you have seen the things you can do to support small businesses during this strange time, and leaving reviews are one of them! So thankful for all the couples who have left reviews... it really helps me become an even better photographer.

FIRST LOOKS: yes? or no?

Personally - I will choose to do a first look. It'll allow me to spend more of my day with my man and our friends and family. Plus, I'm not great at showing emotion when all eyes are on me (I turn into a real awkward, real closed off wall of a human), so doing a first look will allow me to laugh, cry, jump up and down, whatever emotion I'm actually feeling if it's just the two of us.

If clients are unsure if they want to do a first look, I always encourage it for lots of reasons but mainly those two - you get to spend more of your day together and then you get TWO times to feel the feels... when you're doing your first look and when it comes time to walk down the aisle. I've had grooms so excited at the first look still burst into tears at the alter and vice versa.

SO, what're your thoughts?

No better words for Memorial Day than these lyrics

No better words for Memorial Day than these lyrics from @ZacBrownBand: "Salute the ones who died, the ones that give their lives so we don't have to sacrifice all the things we love."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
