Beth and I headed out the door this morning on this frigid, 8 degree day… She has a modeling job and her call time was 8:30 AM. After nearly sliding down a hill, we made it. She is making good money and learning a lot about taking direction and being “professional”. It is too cool to watch her. This Saturday she does a job for the same folks, only instead of print work (what we are doing today) it will be a video.


I’m crazy about photography and I am really enjoying watching this unfold. The photographer is awesome and does mostly national work. And Beth is putting away college money and will be allowed to keep 10% of her earnings after expenses. She’s excited to be able to buy gifts for family birthdays and Christmas!


Beth is on a break now as they are redesigning the set. I brought work to do but can’t seem to get motivated. OK… on to something besides bragging on Beth. (The hairstylist said, “You two don’t like each other much, do you?” after watching Beth land on my lap between shoots…!)


The other girl in the photo shoot is a blond haired, blue-eyed beauty. Her “clone” sister, a high school student, was her chauffeur. The two look exactly alike. And that fact wasn’t lost on Beth. Once again she was faced with a reminder that in many families, people “match” and that these two girls can just look at each other and see shared characteristics. I know what she was thinking… even though she didn’t say anything other than to comment on how much they looked alike. As I mentioned in a previous post… imagine having to wait until you have a child to see someone who looks like you.


Well, she doesn’t look like me… but have I mentioned how crazy I am about this child?
