Taking time to be present in the moment rather than worrying about social media. It’s all a balance. There’s no perfect formula. There are suggestions of how to post on social media, but I’ll tell you this: Being with the ones you love, surrounding yourself in community, and spending time with Jesus is always way better than scrolling on social media 🤘 Agreed?

Justin and Paige’s Hollywood Proposal ❤️ Last night I headed to DTLA for a sweet proposal and it was absolutely perfect. From the details of the proposal (more photographs on that later) and the shock + joy to the celebration with family and ending the night on the rooftop on Hollywood Blvd—it was perfect. I’m still in awe of the love between this sweet couple and their kindness. I will forever cherish this proposal ❤️ These are some of my favorite images and to be honest, there’s so many more. Which one is your favorite? Let me know and I’ll post some more ⤵️ . . . . . #hollywoodproposal #lalalandproposal #cityofstars #sarahyatesphoto #downtownproposal #downtownengagement #neonlightsign #neonengagement #cityengagementsession #downtownlosangeles #downtownlosangelesphoto #dtlaphotographer #hollywoodengagement #hollywoodphotographer #losangelesphotographer #roosevelthotel #roosevelthotelhollywood #roosevelthotelproposal #walkofstars #dreamproposal #justsaidyes #engagelife #wedsocal #southerncaliforniabride 
Who new a dumpster would be the perfect backdrop for a couples session?! 🔥 Well, when I saw this dumpster, I couldn’t resist 🤣 I’ll let you in on a little tip: ✨ Trust your photographer when it comes to locations! I always get to my sessions early to scout around, see what the light is doing, and find the best locations for your session 😍 Would you have guessed this is a dumpster I didn’t tell you?!

Don’t disqualify someone based on their social media following. Please, just stop. Today, @kindledandkindred posted about how social media interactions do not define a business or any part of the business. I want to continue this conversation and remind potential clients and consumers that social media doesn’t equate to talent or quality of product or service. When we hired our wedding videographer, they didn’t have an Instagram. When we hired our wedding florist, she had under 1,000 followers. And guess what? They provided excellent service and have incredible talent. We didn’t hire them based on their social media following. We hired them based on their work, personality (if we got along well with them), and their client experience. Here’s what to look for instead of social media following when hiring someone: ✨ Quality of work (ask for full galleries if it’s a photographer or another vendor) ✨ Client experience (ask for past reviews if they aren’t readily available) ✨ Personality (will you get along with them?) ✨ Drive + motivation (do they love what they do?!) What else do you think about when hiring some APART from social media following?!

Feeling a lot of feelings today ⚡️ Yesterday was my first full wedding day of 2021 and I’m definitely “in my feelings”....whatever that means 🤣 I’m physically and mentally exhausted. I’m sore. I’m a bit overwhelmed. But mostly... I am joyful. Yesterday, I truly realized what I big role I play on wedding days and in couple’s lives. It’s such an honor to document a couple’s love story on one of the biggest days of their lives. It’s significant. I feel so honored. So humbled. So, so blessed (I know that sounds cheesy, but in this moment, it’s true). And guess what? All of that outwears the stress and exhaustion. Easy. My heart is filled with so much joy as we enter this week—and I wouldn’t have it any other way ✨ . . . . .
