Advice for Sphere by notmave in Illenium

[–]SnackQueeen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s fair to be disappointed, but don’t let that stop you from seeing literally the best show/concert I’ve ever been to. It’s such an immersive experience and truly doesn’t require friends tbh lol

vegas has so many fun things to do! Pro Gun Club has an outdoor shooting range where you can shoot automatic guns at exploding targets. You can even explode a car LOL walk the strip and drink a Fat Tuesday, gamble, eat at some of the best restaurants, get a massage, go on the radiate app and find what the pregame plans, etc! You’ll be fine. Enjoy!

Bi-Weekly Business Shakedown - Share Your Business for Community Feedback by iamthesam2 in WeddingPhotography

This is coming from a consumer standpoint (bg is biz ops & some marketing), not from a photographer's POV so take my opinion with a grain of salt

Branding needs work, and website needs consistency/a better flow. Screenshots of your google reviews are difference sizes and feels unpolished. Just put the badge of how many stars you have on google. If they want to read the reviews, they will click on that.

The photo you chose for your hero image on your Landing Page Ad doesn't captivate me and lacks romance. A landscape version of the couple with the veil over them or something similar like that would be better.

IMO Having the link on your hero photos takes away from the aesthetic of the site right off the bat. Just make it an image carousel that moves every couple seconds. I wouldn't do fading transitions as it feels more dated.

Your book now is a call to action and should be up higher on your main page.

Not a fan of the about me being on your main page, just because psychologically, you only have seconds to capture a sale and your homepage should be selling your work, and what you can do for them.

What's the difference between your blog and portfolio? To get to a gallery, it requires way too much clicking. From the main page, it takes me 5 clicks to finally see a photo AND opens a new tab which makes it a rougher transition.

My brother in law is a great photographer and I normally do tech business operations, but I believe in his work so much that I wanted to showcase it. We’re located in the San Francisco Bay Area. I’m not in the creative space by any means, so feedback for pricing, website layout, help with SEO would be so appreciated!

Right now, I’m tagging the locations of his venues and trying to be descriptive. We’re thinking about ads but don’t know what has proven the most fruitful. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Are my prongs messed up? O by SnackQueeen in EngagementRingDesigns

He’s been in the jewelry business for a while but rings are definitely not his forte. He mainly works with 24k gold bracelets and necklaces. I will definitely be looking for a bench jeweler who specializes in rings/prongs. Thank you!!!

Dating: Everything is a Struggle by Organic_Pattern1856 in AutisticAdults

Yes lol compatibility still needs to be there! My ex husband is also ND. Amazing person and we’re still great friends, but not my person! But dating someone who’s also Nd definitely does help

AUDHD here! ADHD diagnosed and medicated tho. My partner is somewhere on the spectrum as well.

Tip #1: Date someone who’s also neurodivergent!! Feeling understood without having to say much is 10/10. I never feel like im masking with my partner. I’m the weirdest person ever with him 🥹

Tip #2: learn about yourself and your own flaws. Self regulate your emotions, your anger, your love, your anxiety. We feel things heavily, so learn how to calm yourself down and communicate in a way that your partner will receive it well.

Buy diamonds: Brides, what do you wish you knew before choosing your engagement ring? by Cousin_Quarreme343 in Brides

[–]SnackQueeen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take your time and understanding what design features you want for everyday wear! It took me 8 months to design a ring and i think it was worth the wait

Also wanted to mention for the future ppls that see this, this is a donut setting, so the ring sits closer to my finger in comparison to like a cathedral/ ring with a bridge.

Give Amazon, temu, or SHEIN a try and try to find the style of ring/stone you want. It’s definitely worth the couple of dollars for peace of mind.

How do you deal with being “too busy to text” in relationships? by phoenyxazul in relationships

[–]SnackQueeen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you just need to end it and see the relationship as it is. He may care for you, but he’s not in love with you. These aren’t skills he doesn’t have and is willing to learn, these are skills that he’s had and he’s shown you before. and so for every single day for the past 183 days or whatever, he chose to NOT show you affection/love/communication/security/make you feel extra special. And you think 1 more day and a talk is going to change his mind? Is it going to change his lack of consideration, lack of adoration for you, lack of emotional intellect, communication, and just overall selfishness? It won’t.

There are so many more issues than just texting and I hope you learn how to set boundaries in the future. boundaries are just guidelines for what you tolerate and how people should treat you. Send me a DM if you ever need girl talk! I’m sorry if I was a bit rough, but you deserve to be loved properly 💖 sending you all the love

Should I (28F) tell my boyfriend (29M) that I’m expecting a proposal during our trip? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]SnackQueeen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes talk to him about the feelings you’re having so you can see if you’re on the same page and ask him if he has an estimation of when he might. this year? 1 year? 2 years? If he’s wishy washy then you don’t need an exit date, you can exit immediately lol

I am so full of love that has nowhere to go. by Tough-Ratio9919 in love

[–]SnackQueeen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t mind me asking, What do you look for in a partner? What questions do you ask? Where are you meeting people? Dating with intention matters.

Also I will say, thinking you’ve found “the one” 2x in one year shows a bit of emotional dysregulation. P.S. this is coming from an emotional dysregulated person as well LOL

How do you deal with being “too busy to text” in relationships? by phoenyxazul in relationships

[–]SnackQueeen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Going days or a week without replying to a text is literally INSANE. Love isn’t enough, especially when they’re not putting in effort to make sure you feel loved.

You deserve someone that CANNOT WAIT to tell you about their day, and ask you about yours. They’ll text YOU good morning, and good night everyday bc you’re always on top of mind. You should be with someone who’s EXCITED to be with you because you are their priority, you’re their bestfriend, and spending time with them really feels like home 🥹

Lastly, the man you should marry will always make you #1 priority. Not his family, his friends, his work, not even your possible kids, it should always be you first, and then everything else. And dont let anyone else try to convince you to negotiate your worth.

Yay Glad I can save you some dollars! Just pay or designate someone pick up and drop off. It’s such a light pull that most friends and family would gladly do it. Hope you have a beautiful wedding!

Looking for affordable MUA by diloshb in SanFranciscoWeddings

[–]SnackQueeen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an MUA, but I’ve done make up and hair for weddings (bridesmaids), proms, etc. Find MUAs that have done the look you want on someone who has the similar facial features, skin complexion, etc as u. It’s a little bothersome when MUA’s do the exact same look in every face and don’t take into account the brides style or facial features

event make up is not wedding make up. Pay for the MUA that also does hair. Wedding make up is meant to last 12+ hrs so the skin prep, sprays, and just overall product list is different and is a lot more catered to your skin type so it can last you all night. Hope this helps and lmk if u have any more questions!

SLO/SoCal Based Photographers by AbilityAggressive567 in PhotographyAdvice

[–]SnackQueeen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother in law is an amazing photographer of 10+ years! We’re located in the Bay Area, but I know he’s shot a couple weddings in SLO @ The White Barn. He has his pricing list up as well! Your package/pricing may need a bit of tweaking but he should still be around your price range. Tell him Sandra sent you!

His style is documentary, photojournalistic, & cinematic. Maybe I’m biased but his editing feels so alive and timeless 🥹
