time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go

Time is a funny thing. Timing seems to be even more funny. I think the universe is telling me that I have made exactly the choices I was supposed to make. Last week I did head shots for an actress I work with at the theatre. Because she and I met up at the theatre before our shoot, the executive director asked me to take a couple of publicity shots for the show they're currently rehearsing - in exchange for free tickets to the show! It's days/weeks/months like this when I really sit down and think "Yes, Carrie, someday you really will be able to make a living as a photographer!"


I got a photography job! Well, ok, my friend Ben got me a photography job. Freelance, of course, but a gig is a gig! And the coordinator said that if the shoot tomorrow morning goes well, there will be more opportunities for me to work with her company. I'll be driving up to Grand Rapids tomorrow morning to spend some time in a high school classroom taking photos of the teacher. I am so excited!

Yesterday I did engagement photos for my friends Nathan and Tricha. Some of them turned out so well! I'm excited to show them.
