A professional photographer in my area just left a message on my answering machine looking for an assistant for an upcoming photo shoot.
I've been to her to have portraits done with Justin a couple of times, and she does know that I hobby with photography. That said, I've never once contacted her looking for work or anything of that nature.
And yet, she called me about it.
I am simultaneously excited and nervous about the prospect.
I've always just "done my own thing" with my camera and have never assisted a photographer before. It will be a bit of a learning curve to find what it is she expects. Also, she's asking about assistance with a group of daycare kids. 99% of my personal photography gigs have been with high school marching bands. Those kids are always in neat, organized rows as a default. LOL!
Not much point in this post other than just to share. I'm going to call her back in a few minutes...
