what it do?

This week is so insane, but not all in a bad way. Just very busy! We haven't done laundry since Saturday and I think I might be out of pants...that's not good. Oh well. Maybe I'll wear a skirt tomorrow.

Anywho, I just got back from dinner with Matt and Diana. We sort of discussed their wedding photos, but I want to get together with her after Thanksgiving and nail it all down. Prices, does she want photos of them together before the ceremony or seperately- that kind of stuff. The money is a BIG deal to me. I refuse to do it for less than $200, and that's ceremony and formal shots either before or after. If they want me to do the rehearsal and reception, it will be more. But considering that if they were to hire a "professional" they would fork over thousands of bucks, I don't think $200 is completely unreasonable. I figured I will ask her what price she thinks it's worth, then I will give her my price. Cause if she says $350 or something, no way am I going to say first that I would only charge $200!!! That would be rediculous. They are my friends, but I'm not in this just for fun. Photography is a business, and I need to get used to treating it as such. (Thank you, Kandi, for hammering that into my head!!!)

I am going to write up a contract of sorts before I meet with her. I figured we could go to a coffee shop so that there isn't a tv or anything else distracting. I want her to take this seriously, because I am. I am going to commit a LOT of time to this wedding, what with actually taking the photos and then editing them. So I want to be certain that I make them happy with what I do, but also that I don't get swindled in the end.

Well, guess I better hit the hay...Tomorrow is Lofton's class, and we will find out how we did on our last exam! I think I did really well! In class on Tuesday he said that from what he could recall, "No one bombed this one like they usually do." So that must mean I didn't bomb it like I usually do!! haha I'm hopeful that I made a B!! YAY!!! That would boost my grade in there nicely :)


Oh, and Friday is the BIG DAY!! EDWARD CULLEN and I will be in a DARK room together. Of course, he'll be on screen and I'll be sitting in a nasty theater chair, but who cares? I could lick him all over, if only he were real....

I'm such a perv.
