Well hi! It’s me, Whitley on your feed (alongside my family 🤍)

Popping on with some updated photos after realizing I managed to post close to nothing on my feed for the entire busy season of 2023 😂

It’s a FULL life these days. Balancing a near full time workload in a part time schedule to have the opportunity to spend some of my week fully home with Jack. While I may have had to skip out on the consistent social media posting this year, I am so proud of all the unseen that was accomplished.

20 beautiful Minnesota weddings photographed, 140+ portrait sessions, countless hours editing, 30 weeks growing our baby girl, and many many days at home chasing our wild, crazy, hilarious toddler.

I can’t thank all of my amazing clients enough for entrusting me with their own lives and stories for me to capture and in turn, for the joy and privilege of getting to do what I love both in and outside of our home. 🤍

I’d be willing to bet this is the last thing to hit the feed before I announce a baby (anyone wanna guess her name?!) .. but hopefully I can recap a few of those shoots and weddings before then. 😜

So until whatever is next, I just wanted to extend a WARM thank you to all who have supported my business year after year and as the seasons change. 🤍 I am truly forever grateful to live out what 18 year old me once dreamt of — it’s better, more beautiful (and harder haha) than I ever could have imagined!

So until whatever is next, I just wanted to extend a WARM thank you to all who have supported my business year after year and as the seasons change. 🤍 I am truly forever grateful to live out what 18 year old me once dreamt of — it’s better, more beautiful (and harder haha) than I ever could have imagined!

Well hi! It’s me, Whitley on your feed (alongside my family 🤍)

Popping on with some updated photos after realizing I managed to post close to nothing on my feed for the entire busy season of 2023 😂

It’s a FULL life these days. Balancing a near full time workload in a part time schedule to have the opportunity to spend some of my week fully home with Jack. While I may have had to skip out on the consistent social media posting this year, I am so proud of all the unseen that was accomplished.

20 beautiful Minnesota weddings photographed, 140+ portrait sessions, countless hours editing, 30 weeks growing our baby girl, and many many days at home chasing our wild, crazy, hilarious toddler.

Truthfully? I get INCREDIBLY overwhelmed by sharing wedding content these days. 😮‍💨

I’ve shot so many incredible days already this year and have shared precisely zero. Not because every one of them wasn’t inspiring and magical — they were. I’ve been shooting more pictures per wedding day than I ever have before. Beautiful moments. But honestly, instagram (for me) has been the least inspiring place for me to put them.

Posting only for them to be valued and pushed up the feed by likes and affirmative comments that it’s what people like to see or what’s trending — which is so far from why I take these photos or do this work.

The greatest place I can put these photos after they’ve been taken is back in the hands of my clients. Back to their homes. 🤍

I’m not saying marketing isn’t important, I’m not even saying my lack of posting is the wise move business wise (😂) but 8 years into this refining journey of being a wedding photographer and never have I felt less of a call to submit my work to the approval of man — or in this case, the endless algorithm that asks for more of me and the “next thing” every week.

So there’s my honest update. It’s been a really secret place lately — exchanging photos only between the camera, computer, my client, and I. No crowd clapping in the comments every weekend or saving posts and drawing inspiration from my poses/locations. My follower count is not growing and many will surpass me in the benchmark to whatever number of followers is considered “alot”… it seems that number continues to climb. What used to be 10k is now thousands more. What is more will one day still not be enough. Anyone tired? 😅

I wonder if I’m alone, but if I’m not, I’d love to hear from you and encourage my fellow photo friends as we work tirelessly through this busy season that the greatest place we can place our work is back in the hands of God and the special people we take these photos for, the rest will come — or it won’t, and that’s equally okay. I’ve been quiet, but my soul has never felt better or more proud of the work being done. 😌🤍

Posting only for them to be valued and pushed up the feed by likes and affirmative comments that it’s what people like to see or what’s trending — which is so far from why I take these photos or do this work.

The greatest place I can put these photos after they’ve been taken is back in the hands of my clients. Back to their homes. 🤍

I’m not saying marketing isn’t important, I’m not even saying my lack of posting is the wise move business wise (😂) but 8 years into this refining journey of being a wedding photographer and never have I felt less of a call to submit my work to the approval of man — or in this case, the endless algorithm that asks for more of me and the “next thing” every week.

So there’s my honest update. It’s been a really secret place lately — exchanging photos only between the camera, computer, my client, and I. No crowd clapping in the comments every weekend or saving posts and drawing inspiration from my poses/locations. My follower count is not growing and many will surpass me in the benchmark to whatever number of followers is considered “alot”… it seems that number continues to climb. What used to be 10k is now thousands more. What is more will one day still not be enough. Anyone tired? 😅

I wonder if I’m alone, but if I’m not, I’d love to hear from you and encourage my fellow photo friends as we work tirelessly through this busy season that the greatest place we can place our work is back in the hands of God and the special people we take these photos for, the rest will come — or it won’t, and that’s equally okay. I’ve been quiet, but my soul has never felt better or more proud of the work being done. 😌🤍

Truthfully? I get INCREDIBLY overwhelmed by sharing wedding content these days. 😮‍💨

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
