🇨🇦 Twists and turns, one by one! 😅 Or how

🇨🇦 Twists and turns, one by one! 😅 Or how instead of hospitality I ended up in the digital industry. So many new people there, and it's time to say hi again! I'm Anastasia, in Canada, everyone calls me Stas. I was born in a family of hard workers. Was growing up while USSR was collapsing. Not an easy time for sure. But I learned quite a bit of survival skills from my parents! 💪 I totally deviated from my education plan. 😅 Interesting but short story: the uni of my choice collapsed while I was on its prep course. Thank god! While getting my science degree, I fell in love with IT. Dove into digital design and front-end, and then into photography! It was bad. So bad I had to take almost a 10-year break from photography. It was a shock. 😱 Ditched my Canon 400D. Meanwhile, things in IT for us weren't bad, but our soul wanted more comfort. So we rushed to Canada in 2014. Comfort? Haha. It was freaking difficult. Newcomers hardly get any jobs. We were broke for at least a year. But we finally found an amazing place with great people, and I decided to give photography a shot again. Now I'm a polymath that can do anything! 🙂 I trained my eye with the design over the past 16+ years. It's even easier now to find a good angle or good light. Find the beauty. My empathy skyrocketed, and now I can read between the lines. My clients are obsessed with my photos, and use them for the userpics! Now, how can I help YOU? If you don't like yourself in photos, I'll show you how to do so you would, with a breeze. 😍 if you want a spirited social feed, I'll boost it with stunning photos and videos. 🔥 What about you? What are you live and breathe with? Why landed in my account?

Do you know money rule the relationships?⠀ ⠀ L

Do you know money rule the relationships?⠀ ⠀ Look.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let's say here are two partners living together, maybe married.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Common household, but each of them hides their cash in their socks, just so they are separate, you know. Money is not discussed. They have different goals.⠀ One of them wants a vacation, another - to buy a tiger. 🐅 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How quickly do you think one of them runs out of patience when they come home and see the tiger?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Leaving out aftermath like heads bitten off right on the spot (not necessarily by the tiger), as a minimum it would end up with a pass to the psychologist's office. As a maximum - divorce.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's not my opinion, these are facts.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 41% of gen Xers divorced due to disagreements about money. Almost a half, can you imagine! These are adults, who couldn't find a way to talk about common goals. And numbers are not better across other generations.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To compare, abuse as a cause for divorce is at 25% (which is still a horrifying number). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Can we start changing it? Of course!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If the aforementioned individuals talked, they would realize their goals are very compatible! You can plan both, and make compromises. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Plus returning from a vacation with a tiger is double fun! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So please talk money with your partner the earlier the better.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Building goals together and achieve them is dope. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because even if you have separate bank accounts and your own dreams, you still go together somewhere.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And if you don't, then what are you two doing together anyway?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now, tell me: has it ever happened? Money debates?

SUPER IMPORTANT QUESTION! 🚨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Your reccos what to watch this fall? Movies, but TV shows are even better! Extra points for hilariousness (is it a word?)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ From my recents ⬇️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Brooklyn 99⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ About the life of a New York precinct, with one and only Andy Samberg. A bit of police humor, lots of dark-ish jokes. Amazing overall!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 9 perfect strangers⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Russian healer Masha treats nine of her visitors, helping them come to terms with their life wounds. So many twists and turns over there! Recommend to anyone who loves less action, and more character dissection.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Loki⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tom Hiddleston. Time travel. Should I say more? 😍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's super cool to see the new line of Marvel shows, where it's less about superhero achievements and more about their chararacter development. 👏🏻 WandaVision is in the same category.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tell me what's your recomendación? Hopefully funny, but at least should be a pretty picture. 😍

Real talk.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Gear is not

Real talk.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Gear is not important" is utter and complete bullshit. 🤦‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ No matter how much I love and enjoy using old-school cameras (and the one in the photo is really important to me!), I will never take it to the client. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Imagine if we were still riding horses as our main transportation vehicle. Horses are beautiful, but they are itchy, smelly, and have the very little capacity in their trunk. They also have their own opinions. And there is no airbag I remind you. It makes them a pretty shitty Uber. You want a safe, fast and comfortable ride - you choose a car!⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Or clothing: imagine you sitting every day weaving every piece of fabric to make yourself a jacket. What a waste of time! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Same with the camera. We can endlessly talk about how warm and true the photos older cameras produce are. Those photos make great Instagram content. I love it!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But for my clients, I want clean, high resolution, well-lit, precise, and predictable results, and older and analog cameras are not up to this task.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So recently I finally upgraded to Canon R6, and couldn't be happier! 😍 I don't think on settings too much. I talk to my clients more. Everyone's happy!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you prefer always to be up to date with technology, or stick to your devices as long as possible? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When was the last time you upgraded your phone?
