A while back a friend asked me how I would move all my plants if I needed to and I think I told her “I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it”. Well friends, I’m at the bridge and I’m screwed πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­πŸ˜£ looks like the plant bbs are going to be getting their very own trip to the new house. I’ll post of pic of the car all loaded up when it happens.β € ~β € ~β € ~β € ~β € β € #plantparent #propogation #plantshelf #shelfie #plantmom #snakeplant #grow #mybmore #baltimorecreatives #noblepresets #baltimorephotographer #greenisthenewblack #covid19 #boredombuster #houseplants #lifeofanartist #natureinside #plantbabies #charmcity #baltimoreweddings #marylandweddingphotographer #annapoliswedding #engaged

Shoutout to the Supreme Court (specifically Justices RBG, Kennedy, Sotomayor, Kagan, and Breyer πŸ‘πŸΌ ) for legalizing gay marriage 5 years ago. Ya’ll are the GOAT.β € ~β € ~β € ~β € ~β € #gayweddings #equallywed #marriageequality #DOMAsucks #lesbianwedding #twobrides #twogrooms #loveislove #pride #pridemonth ##inclusivepgotography #LGBTQphotography #risingtidesociety #tuesdaystogether #weddingphotography #marylandweddingphotography #engaged #virginiaweddingphotographer #equallymindedweddingvendor #inclusivewedding β €

Dearrrrr wedding photographers:β € In honor of pride month and the Black Lives Matter movement β € πŸ‘πŸΌ stop πŸ‘πŸΌ spending πŸ‘πŸΌ money πŸ‘πŸΌ on πŸ‘πŸΌ photography πŸ‘πŸΌ educators πŸ‘πŸΌ who πŸ‘πŸΌ aren’t πŸ‘πŸΌ inclusive πŸ‘πŸΌβ € I’m talking about the ones that peddle education to gear businesses towards bride-centric, heteronormative, white-washed marketing. The ones who teach editing catered towards white skin tones. The ones who market their religiosity and wouldn’t be caught dead photographing a LGBTQ+ couple. The ones who ARE STILL HAPPILY PHOTOGRAPHING AT PLANTATION VENUES.β € If an industry leader posted a black square but isn’t using their VERY public AND HEAVILY INFLUENTIAL platform to keep speaking out on issues of inclusion and racial justice UNFOLLOW them, DIVEST from their businesses! πŸ‘πŸΌ vote πŸ‘πŸΌ with πŸ‘πŸΌ your πŸ‘πŸΌ dollars πŸ‘πŸΌ I’ve have a ton of conversations with photografriends recently about how easily it was to be pulled into their trap when we were just starting out and how hard it has been to dig ourselves out of it and rebuild our businesses in an inclusive way.β € If you want to be an inclusive photographer the first step is to put your own money where your mouth is and invest in business education that supports those values!!!! Check out my inclusive biz highlight for industry leaders who you can hire to make your biz inclusive. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. πŸ‘πŸ»β € ~β € ~β € ~β € ~β € #inclusivepgotography #endplantationweddings #blm #blacklivesmatter #pride #LGBTQphotography #gayweddings #risingtidesociety #tuesdaystogether #weddingphotography #marylandweddingphotography #engaged #southernwedding #southerncharm #virginiaweddingphotographer #photographyeducation #equallywed #equallymindedweddingvendor #inclusivewedding β €

Thank you to the Supreme Court justices who voted today to protect so many of my very favorite people from being discriminated against at their jobs because of who they love. Love will win every. Freaking. Time. No matter how many times the haters try to stop it.β € ~β € ~β € ~β € ~β € #lovewins #lbgtq #pridemonth #pride #gayweddings #lgbtqwedding #lgbtqengagement #scotus #2020 #baltimoreweddings #federalhill #bmorecreatives #mybmore #charmcity #baltimorephotocrapher #marylandwedding #sarandonmaraphotography #equallymindedwedding #theknot #handhweddings #equallywed #noblepresets #gayweddingsandmarriage

WHITE BUSINESS OWNERS: THIS IS FOR YOU.β € If the possibility of losing profit is keeping you quiet about people losing their lives, you need to re-examine your priorities. β € If your fear of being controversial is keeping you quiet about people of color being afraid to exist in their own skin, you need to re-examine your priorities.β € β € • It is your duty as someone in the public eye to speak out against racial injustice - regardless of what you’ve been taught by people who tell you to leave your personal beliefs out of your business.β € • It is your duty to use your platform to support black owned businesses.β € • It is your duty to be open with your clients about being anti-racist.β € • It is your duty to use your business to openly support organizations working to fight racism.β € • it is your duty to commit to putting lives over profit.β € • It is your duty to acknowledge how your whiteness has helped you in your industry.β € • It is your duty to make your business inclusive - NOT JUST YOUR MARKETING. β € Oh, and one more thing for the wedding industry: STOP SUPPORTING PLANTATION VENUES. That is all. ~β € ~β € ~β € ~β € #blacklivesmatter #saytheirnames #justicenow #georgefloyd #revolutionnow #icantbreathe #breonnataylor #ahmaudarbery #livingwhileblack #supportblackbusinesses #speakup #nojusticenopeace #whiteprivilege #peopleoverprofits #enoughisenough #blm #jewsforblacklivesmatter
