I've been bad. I said I was going to update more and instead I updated not at all.
Sorrrrryyyy!
This is going to be a quick post because I just feel like superhuman today and feel like I need to brag about how awesome I am and bragging on Facebook is lame but if you've come all the way here to read about my boring life you must be SUPER bored and so I will brag to you.
I got a call late last night from some VP at American Express needing emergency corporate headshots so I squeezed him in at 9am this morning. Got his shoot done by 9:15 in time to snag a parking spot before street cleaning ended at 9:30.
Booked it back to my apt, on the way grabbing some groceries and was home by 10:00 to wait for my new couch delivery which was supposed to happen between 10:41 and 1:41. (So random.) On top of that I was expecting a dude from taskrabbit to come at noon to help put up my new TV in my epic new bedroom.
Sat down at my computer, retouched some pictures.
Taskrabbit man texted me and said I needed to have some wall anchors for my room for him to install the wall mount on my new 46" TV. So I sprinted to the hardware store up the street, bought the anchors and was back by 10:30 to wait for the furniture guys. Of course the furniture guys didn't show until wayyy later.
At noon my taskrabbit arrived and even though he was super helpful I was supervising a lot and having to be helpful. At 12:30 the furniture guys arrived with our giant 6 piece sectional couch and I had to supervise them as well. At 1pm I forgot I had a headshot consultation and this girl came and I sat her down in the corner with furniture moving around us and hammering coming from my bedroom and still managed to do a 30-min headshot consultation and booked for her a shoot next week. (Woo!!!).
As soon as she left I went back to alternating between helping the movers unpack the couches and helping TV taskrabbit mount my TV and retouching pictures whenever I had free time. (There were lots of odd steps to the TV mounting and one of them involved me slicing pieces of tube plastic things and sanding them down to fit some screws.)
Furniture guys left at 1:51pm
And at 1:55pm my returning headshot client Leigh showed up for our session. She just needed a one look update (I've shot her 3 times now and she's amazing), so I shot her on our brand new couch while running in and out to help TV guy whenever he called me to help him lift something while Leigh changed up her makeup and stuff. We then did a look in my bedroom as well while the handyman pounded away at the wall behind Leigh. She was totally unfazed, as was he.
At 3pm Leigh left and handyman started finishing up. But then we realized the TV was a little crooked and handyman was a perfectionist and wanted to take the whole thing down and re-mount it properly. So I helped with that.
At 3:30pm my 3rd headshot client of the day showed up. I made her sit on the couch and fed her cookies while I finished installing the TV with the taskrabbit handyman.
We headed out on our shoot at 4pm. Picked up my car. Drove around. I usually don't like to shoot so late in the day because the sun gets really strong, but we figured it out and I got some kickass pics.
Finished with her at 5:30. Found an AWESOME parking spot around the corner where I can leave the car until Thursday.
Came back up to my apt. Vacuumed. Changed. And decided to blog a little because I'm feeling like a superhuman multitasker and also I've totally been neglecting this blog forever. It's been so busy, almost every day is like today to a less crazy extent.
Now I'm off to an epic steak dinner that I owe my photographer buddy Joe because he gave me a wedding he didn't have room for last weekend.
Maybe when I get home tonight I'll add pictures to this blog post.
Probably not. I gotta load all my pics from today and make space for a North Face event I'm shooting tomorrow.
Byeee
