Whew!

Last night, just before my head hit the pillow, my husband asked me how my day had been. My answer? It was magical.

We had a commercial shoot planned for weeks, during which we were also going to shoot stills for whatever purpose may come up, because former Miss Texas, Magan, was coming into town for the commercial. Any time we can get Magan, we try to get as many photos as possible. She's not only impossibly beautiful, she's extremely good (yes, modeling is actually really hard work that requires talent and intelligence) and she's unbelievably kind and fun to work with.

So about a week ago, Crystal (who normally does the model photography) told me her husband had asked her to take off the day of the commercial for a family thing. She was willing to forego the family event, but I hastily volunteered to take her place. Not that I was anywhere near prepared, or consider myself good enough to fill her shoes. I was, however, aware of what a great opportunity it would be, and "do or die," as they say, I was going to GET prepared.

I nearly drove everyone around me crazy for a week, and I did have to go home early Friday because I gave myself a migraine I stressed so much, but now I'm standing on the other side of that "good opportunity," and all I can say is....MAGICAL. Everything went smoothly, I think I got enough decent photos for Crystal and myself and whomever else in our little marketing office may need to use them throughout the holiday season, and it was just plain fun. I can't believe I get paid for this stuff :)
