Earlier this year I ran a special for a carousel photo shoot, and that’s when I first met Vanessa. She brought along her friend Megan, who was clearly trying to be super supportive and have fun, but made it quite apparent she was jealous she wasn’t there to shoot as well. Fast forward a few months and I’m looking for a hair/make-up artist for my wedding. Vanessa has just graduated beauty school and posted a photo on herself Facebook with hair up in this beautiful flowing pony tail. It was romantic with big loose curls, EXACTLY how I wanted my hair for my wedding.
I invited Vanessa over and we came up with a win-win scenario of a partial trade. Her end of the deal includes another carousel shoot, but this time, for her best friend Megan. It was the perfect birthday present for her friend, and I was happy to be part of the game plan. I suppose it’s just a reminder for me that with a little creativity, solutions can be found that work in everyone’s best interest. I love win-win scenarios! And I loved shooting the carousel again with Megan. She invited Vanessa to hop up with her at the end of the shoot for a best friend photo. The picture perfect ending to a story about friendship.
