So I had my long awaited coffee date with the wedding photographer the other day and to say it was everything I could have hoped for and more is an UNDERSTATEMENT!!!
Obviously I was a complete nervous wreck....I worried about everything from whether she would like me, like my work, to what to WEAR!! Which by the way...here is the outfit that won out......
I had really cute black and white plaid wedges, but I somehow managed to cut those out of the pic...awesome, huh!!?
Anywho....as soon as she walked in to the coffee shop, I knew immediately that she was a sweetheart and it was going to go great! She was so welcoming, so sweet. We talked for about 2 1/2 hrs and we covered everything from when I started loving photography, to having babies. I seriously felt like I had been friends with her for years...and doesn't every woman hope for that when meeting a new girl??!! Let's face it, girls can be tough to get along with and catty at times, but I totally felt at ease. I was highly impressed with how organized and together she is with her business. She gave me so much info, answered so many questions, gave me constructional criticism and by the end I knew that the wedding I'm going to with her on May 5th would be great! I was completely overwhelmed but ecstatic that she told me to bring my camera along to the wedding and shoot away......heeelllloooo.....I SOOO did NOT expect that!!!! We talked about my upcoming photographer course and then she completely FLOORED me by asking me if I would be interested in ever second shooting for her after my course for some more experience!!! YES! YES! YES!!!!!!
Anyone would be CRAZY to pass up the opportunity to work along side an experienced and knowledgeable photographer....so YES, please sign me up for that!!!!
We left and decided that we would like to grab some lunch the first week after I start my photography course to discuss how that is going.
I felt so fortunate and appreciative that she took the time to meet with me and share her expertise and knowledge with me......it just affirms that people can succeed and still have time to help others and not forget where they started.
BTW....9 DAYS until my photography course!!!!! xoxo
