Adele & Dating Your Photographer | A Personal Post
/If you know me, you know that I love to belt Adele at the top of my lungs in my car. And thanks to my parents, I got to see her LIVE in Atlanta last October. One word: INCREDIBLE! Adele arose from center stage & with one word her voice filled the entire arena. I screamed like a little girl as chills went throughout my body. Simply incredible.
Now you probably clicked on this blog because of the title - stick with me as I explain.
One of my favorite songs on Adele's latest album, 25, is 'Water Under the Bridge'.
If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
(Wo-ah, wo-ah)
Say that our love ain't water under the bridge
And then it hit me.
This is exactly how photographer's feel when we don't hear back from a client.
People, just tell us that you've gone in a different direction.
I promise it won't hurt our feelings. Everyone has a different style, budget & overall connection with the photographer. It should be a good fit, no doubt.
But when you leave us hanging - much like dating (where my single ladies at?! Hey-o!) - it's frustrating. We've penciled you in basically. And in some way already invested in your June wedding at the Plaza, by dreaming of your cathedral veil sweeping across the marble floor & how stunning you’ll look in your mom’s dress remade.
So if this is you, I'll leave you with some more of my favorite Adele lyrics...
Send my love to your new 'photographer'
Treat her better.
*No feelings were hurt in the making of this blog.
One of my goals for this year - and the rest of my career as a photographer for that matter - is to network with my creative community. If I’m booked or don’t offer the packages you desire, then let me put you in the hands of a dear photographer friend who can.
All images from the concert were shot on my handy little iPhone.
And thanks to my girl, Kayla, for scoring these awesome seats & singing alongside me the entire night.
