If I’m being completely honest, I really do live for a great Instagram picture. You know, where the lighting is perfect, the colours are fully in sync and the content really is a whole “vibe”. Yeah, of course, you know those kinds of pictures because we see them all the time on our IG feed from our coolest IG influencers!
