Getting my hopes up...

.. and sure hope they don't fall!!

Yesterday was great... meeting in the morning at Grandma and Grandpa Killam's place... with tons of visitors!! We also got to see Gene and Val, my great-uncle and aunt (my gpa's brother), from New Mexico. After lunch with them, I headed over to Wautoma to shoot a wedding with Nick... the photographer that I met on craigslist.

It was an awesome wedding. Beautiful yet relaxed. Both the bride and groom had two adorable girls.. each! And they played a beautiful part in the ceremony.

Anyway, on the way home last night, I got a call from a guy out of a studio in DePere. We chatted briefly.. about how he usually has 3-4 full timers on staff, and currently he only has 2... He would want me to start off in the sales portion of the studio, which I think would be good for me to get more confidant in my sales ability. Then he said that there would definitely be opportunity to shoot later on. So, he called me again this morning and we set up a meeting time tomorrow morning. (!!)

I'm not to get my hopes up too far, but at the same time, it would be soooo awesome to start my career in photography right away. I realized yesterday how much I love shooting and being with people. And then I think maybe there's a reason why I haven't been able to find anything else so far...?

Whatever. I just really hope something works out...

Taken out of context, that would sound really bad. :D

I would wish you luck Mariah, but I don't think you need it. You're going to do outstanding- I have complete faith in that!

Snigs: Haha... Yeah, usually I'm more careful than that.. we used to hear horror stories in our classes about photographers talking to their customers about "shooting" their kids, etc.

Thanks, everyone! :)
