Quotes
“I don’t think going viral should be on anyone’s business plan but I think it’s a good push for people.”
“I think this is the perfect opportunity to become very aware of light without subjects.”
“Curation is really key to attracting clients that you’re gonna work with.”
“So many of us put work out there that we feel the client wants to see, that the florist wants to see, that the wedding planner wants to see, or the venue, and we kind of drift away from what it is that we want to see.”
“Don’t get too wrapped up in perfection.”
