Sooo busted.
Ok - truth be told. Looking back, the first 5 minutes or so was a bit of a emotional roller coaster (and we were just doing your headshots).
I was still very VERY new and most of the girls coming through just assumed I knew what I was doing and on good days I could pull it off.
I was so nervous because you obviously were not a 'hick from the sticks' kid as so many were and had real modeling experience with 'real' photographers. It's a little blurry but I remember babbling like a fool about the lighting setup and trying to maybe impress you that I was not a complete Neanderthal.
Then of course there's the gawdawful problem of how poorly you reflect light. I could barely look at you for more than a glance at a time.
But I am a trooper. I persevered. I fought the urge to panic and did my little dog and pony show. I can talk about it now. Yes, therapy is going well. I was able to say your name out loud in group the other day. . . . The shaking has gone away completely and I no longer require my medication....
I pulled it off though? You never knew? (self high five)
I am well. I am out of the biz and in recovery mode.
