You may wonder what the point is for our “Good Things” category on the blog. Does this really have ANYTHING to do with photography? Or business? No, not really. But I actually think that if I thought about it long enough, I could make a parallel between Jimmy Fallon’s strong following and our approach to creating community with our brand! ha! But I’ll save that for another day. :) Our random “Good Things” posts are just little posts where I share about things we love. Right now, one of the things we’re loving is Jimmy Fallon.

Actually Michael has loved him for a LONG time but since his Late Night debut, both of us have gotten quite attached to him! I don’t know what it is. He’s different from all of the other late night show hosts. There is something so genuine and relatable about him that makes his show so much fun to watch! I think he’s so well loved because he seems so down to earth One of our favorite things to do after a long day of work is lay on the couch and watch Jimmy before bed. It’s not a nightly routine but whenever we get a chance to relax and laugh at the end of the day, we take advantage of it! Now I KNOW we’re not the only Fallon fans out there because his ratings have been through the roof! If you’re a fellow fan of Late Night, we’re right there with ya! If you love sarcasm, impersonations, hilarious interviews, games, etc…. you need to relax in the evenings and become a Fallon Fan!! :) Have a great weekend everyone! We’re off to shoot ANOTHER double header weekend. Somehow every weekend in July became a double header… EXCEPT next weekend. Next weekend we have been saving as a “break” weekend. It’s hard to pass up weddings but we know that we can’t do our jobs well without giving ourselves space to breathe every now and then. We’re excited to have a Saturday free like normal people!!!! :)

Thanks for reading!
