1. You will laugh at something I say (I talk a lot, me saying something stupid is BOUND TO HAPPEN)…. OR
2. You will laugh at me fumbling around cables and/or backdrop clips. Listen, I’m clumsy but I’m lovable soooooo…..
3. You will be pampered and feel like a frickin movie star. Girl, you deserve it. I know better than anyone how hard women work. Repeat after me, “WE DESERVE IT.”
4. My makeup artist’s skills will have you asking “So um, walk me thru exactly how you got my eyebrows to do THIS, please? And how did you get my hair to do that?!? Can I keep you?!” (you can’t keep the HMUA, we asked)
5. I’ll make you do something stupid and I’ll shout at you from behind the camera: “THE STUPIDER YOU FEEL THE BETTER IT LOOKS.” (to be fair, I’ll be right)
6. You’ll look at the back of my camera (because of course I’ll show you) and you’ll go “HOLY SHIT, that’s really me?!”
7. I’ll drill the chin trick in your head and it will frickin’ change your selfie game forever (you’re welcome, where’s my nobel prize?)
8. Towards the end, your muscles will hurt, and you’ll be sore and you’ll understand looking amazing in photographs is HARD WORK and posing and angles; the reason most people think they don’t look good in pictures is because they never put their trust in a photographer who knew what the hell they were doing.
9. The above realization will then validate a sneaky suspicion you were starting to have, that perhaps you are frickin beautiful and photogenic and amazing. That despite what this world will have you believe, you are MUCH MORE THAN ENOUGH.
10. You’ll leave feeling like a million bucks, holding your head up, convinced you’re made up of magic, badassery and the potential to do and be whatever the hell you damn well please. It will give you goosebumps.
Does that sound like something you might like?
Let’s chat.
