I wish I could say that the situation I found myself in last Tuesday was a fluke, but honestly, I am starting to think this kind of bad luck is all-too-typical for me. It was the first time in the four years I have had this business that I needed my car for a weekday shoot…and it wouldn’t start. Was I losing my mind? I had JUST driven it a day before and it was just fine. After much swearing and a few frantic phone calls, AAA deduced that the battery was dead. Awesome. They were luckily able to replace it in record time, and since this family was incredibly patient and flexible, we were still able to have our session together, albeit a few hours later. You know you love your job when you have a morning like that, and within two seconds of beginning work, you’re happy again and all is forgotten. I have Jack and Abby to thank for that. This dynamic brother and sister duo totally rocked their photo shoot and in about a half hour proved to be top models. They were so cooperative and smiley, gave each other kisses and hugs and were absolute dream clients. Dead battery? What dead battery? A big fat THANK YOU goes out to this family for being so nice, understanding and fun and reminding me not to sweat the small stuff.
