We're heading to Atlantic City today to perform my first-ever paid freelance photography gig! It's so cool and I can't wait to get in there. It'll be a small party venue for portrait shooting for a friend.
A friend of mine was coordinating a party at a casino for his company and he thought of me, knowing that I was unemployed. I felt so honored that he'd think of me! He asked if I could "take some shots" of the party he and his company is hosting tomorrow, Mar. 25, at a casino. What's interesting is that this was serendipity-do! This friend of mine didn't really know that I was setting up to do professional portraits for friends, family, and possibly full-on clients.
I said, "YES!" immediately before I checked what I was doing that day. I had nothing else planned other than doing my taxes (ugh!) and Gayme Night with the boys over here, but we have worked around Gayme Night - taxes will have to wait.
Wouldn't this be fun if it turned into something long-term and profitable? I have created a business card that we'll put on the table where we log the folks with their photos. Check it out - my own Photoshop creation!
I don't think I'll be posting any pictures of the actual gig online, but I will of Matt and me and my friend who's coordinating the party, as well as some pictures of AC while we're there - supposed to be beautiful days! This should be fun, eye-opening, and hopefully something for the future! Wish me luck!
