1. It's happened to us all. A friend/S.O. asks you, "Hey, mind taking a photo of me?" and you agree, take one (probably blurry) photo, and go on your way.
You don't do it for their gram, you do it because you love thammmmm (Tried to make it rhyme)

1st pic: BTS shot 2nd pic: final shot

My boyfriend is behind my best photos 💗

10. A good friend/partner doesn't complain when they have to take some pics.
what you see vs what I see
11. They hype the person up, make them feel like their best self, and are 100% committed to the job.
This is the kind of commitment and quality I expect when I ask if you’ll take a photo for me btw 🤗
12. Whether that's sitting on someone's shoulders...
when I ask you to take a pic of me THIS is what I mean
13. ...adding props...

16. ...take 247 photos of them from different angles and with varying poses...
