The gallery wall is growing. Have you gotten any photos hung up during COVID that have been leaning up against the wall in a corner for years? That’s a thing right? 🤷‍♀️

Backyard weddings forever! ✨ Here’s hoping we’ll be able to gather in the great outdoors again soon. Also, the great indoors, we’re ready for that too. 📸: @alexsteelephoto

I woke up this morning convinced it was Monday. Realizing it was Sunday might be the best thing about this year so far? That and these @asraigarden stunners. ✨

*That look*

It was tough to figure out how to have a wedding last year. These two made it happen while we were able to, added all the custom masks and sanitizers, and didn’t compromise on the good stuff to make it the perfect day. They are on the blog today. [link in bio] 📸: @amandamegmiller

Oh do you have time
to linger
for just a little while
out of your busy
and very important day
for the goldfinches
that have gathered
in a field of thistles
for a musical battle,
to see who can sing
the highest note,
or the lowest,
or the most expressive of mirth,
or the most tender?
Their strong, blunt beaks
drink the air
as they strive
melodiously
not for your sake
and not for mine
and not for the sake of winning
but for sheer delight and gratitude –
believe us, they say,
it is a serious thing
just to be alive
on this fresh morning
in the broken world.
I beg of you,
do not walk by
without pausing
to attend to this
rather ridiculous performance.
It could mean something.
It could mean everything.
It could be what Rilke meant, when he wrote:
You must change your life.

Thank you for your work, @staceyabrams
