Brooke You are such a doll. The silver frame doesn't just hold a picture, it holds memories, and what we do is invaluable. Jul 17, 2012, 2:46am
Ashley Goodwin MARY! MARY! THANK YOU THANK YOU! I have (not even kidding) been battling this myself, almost like "what is my PUROSE?!?!". Just like I loveeeed being an Interior Designer I always in the back of my head thought I was simply providing a luxury of making things pretty...nothing more, and I want to do something that MATTERS! That has the possibility to CHANGE people! So I'm in the right place. Thank you. And glad I'm not the only one who had a panic attack about it. ;) xo Jun 26, 2012, 2:51pm

Jen You look simply stunning! Where is that dress from?! It's perfect for shooting! Jun 19, 2012, 7:21am
Jenn Valluzzo Amen. I don't shoot weddings, but what you write is complete truth - as I read it I glanced over at an image of my husband's grandparents on their wedding day, she in a gorgeous white dress, he in his Army uniform. Sitting on our bookshelf. In a silver frame. It's beautiful. :) Jun 19, 2012, 1:34am
Jil raising my hand, which represents at least a handful of those frames!! LOVE YOU GUYS Jun 18, 2012, 8:46pm
ashley barnett One of our wedding images is sitting proudly in a silver frame in our room right now :) What you do most certainly DOES matter. And you look stunning in that photo <3 Jun 18, 2012, 4:46pm
Noa Thank you. Seriously, thank you for being honest. Reading your blog is always refreshing because of your honesty. My last blog post is named "rejection and courage" -- I try to keep it real as well. Reading posts such as this one makes me feel less alone in this online world where people so easily sugar coat everything in their businesses and lives. Don't get me wrong - there are boundaries I also keep between my blog and my real life.... But I don't try to represent a perfect life. Thank you for doing the same. I love it. And BTW woman, you are looking smokin'!!! Jun 18, 2012, 2:21pm

Stephanie Stewart Yes, what you do MATTERS, what we do matters so much! I'm absolutely sure all of your couples has 1 or 50 of your gorgeous images in frames! And you look beautiful by the way! Love that dress! Jun 18, 2012, 1:58pm
Tina Nandi Aw, love this post and just what I needed to hear. It's hard to do something without a purpose and so thank you for the reminder that there IS purpose in what we do! Jun 18, 2012, 1:28pm
Katie B Your images are in lots of our frames all over! We will always remember how beautiful everything from our wedding is forever depicted in your shots!! <3 Katie and Joseph Jun 18, 2012, 1:15pm
Kelli Boling I needed to hear this today! So true!! Jun 18, 2012, 1:12pm
Lauren Wakefield First off...awesome dress! And I love this post. It's so easy to doubt what we do but we always have to remember how meaningful it is...and always will be. Jun 18, 2012, 1:08pm
rich there are times that we feel the exact same way. wedding days are so much bigger than the one day that the photos are taken on. and it's amazing that as wedding photographers, we are able to create work that will capture the emotions and moments from an amazing day for generations to cherish. sometimes it's easy to get caught up in feeling like it's all material, but it's that much more important to focus on what we're doing and why we're doing it. =) thank you for sharing!

grandmaIna You are absolutely right! 58 years later I still look at my wedding album once in a while and remember! Wedding photos are important. Jun 18, 2012, 12:47pm
