Do you ever mindlessly scroll through  your instagram feed looking at everyone's fun and exciting photos and suddenly feel like total garbage about your own life? BECAUSE SAME HERE. It's so hard to remember that social media is really just a highlight reel, yet so easy to compare ourselves to others and develop those icky feelings of jealousy and envy. I wanted to chat with two of my photog BFFs Merrisa and Lauren about comparison in the wedding photography industry and talk about how community can be so much more powerful than competition. Check out our conversation around the concept that comparison is the thief of joy and tune in to hear the big fat secret I decided to drop on M+L about why we met (spoiler alert: it has to do with social media and feeling jealous). 

While you're at it, please check out both these fabulous photographers' amazing work on instagram at @merrisacarolinephotography and @laurenhawkinsphoto to show them some love. A big thank you to both these ladies for agreeing to come on the pod to share bravely about all things social media fatigue and burn out, and you can find out more about how to work with them on their websites at https://merrisacarolinephotography.mypixieset.com/ and https://laurenhawkinsphotography.com/
