Taking a Break, for Creativity's Sake

Summary: Everyone needs breaks. We're going on vacation. The last day to place orders is Wednesday June 25th 8PM ET. All orders placed after that will ship after August 15th. 

When you're hustling 24/7, seeking out new clients, doing photoshoots all day, editing your images all night, and constantly working to up your photography game, it's sometimes hard to see the bigger picture (pun intended).

But in the end, we're all human and we all need to rest and recharge every once in  while. Not just physically, but more importantly mentally and creatively.

During the past year, aside from the dozens of photoshoots we've done (both for clients and for TogTees), we've also been working non stop on creating new designs, collaborating with top photographers around the world, and coming up with entirely new products to showcase our love for photography. 

And as you may know, the upcoming holiday season (which runs from October through the end of the year these days), is gonna be pretty busy. In addition to the multiple new tee design launches that we have planned, we also have a couple of completely new projects that we've been working on. So far, they're coming along great, and we know you're gonna like them.

But right now, it's time for us to take our annual break. To step back from the hustle and bustle of running a growing brand while being photographers full-time. To take a few days to just relax, and let our creative juices flow without the pressure of deadlines and emails and phone calls and everything else. 

Which is to say, it's time for our once a year vacation. 

Starting this Thursday, we'll be checking out and pausing everything for a couple of weeks. 

Why should you care? Well, first of all, if you haven't scheduled some time off for yourself, you definitely should. It's critical to any creative pursuit. 

Second of all, if you were planning to place an order anytime soon, we suggest you do it asap.

We'll be fulfilling orders placed before Wednesday July 25th 8pm ET by this week. Orders placed after that won't ship until after August 15th. 

Why? Because we're all gonna be chillin on a beach somewhere and no one's gonna be here to pack and ship your order. 

And of course, we'll have our cameras with us, to take some photos. But these will be just for fun :)

See y'all again in August. Enjoy your time off - we certainly will. 

PS - If you want to stalk us on our vacation and try to guess where we are, follow along on our Instagram stories. We'll be dropping clues here and there...
