I remember seeing her for the first time. We had arranged to meet at Patisserie Valerie, it was kind of like a blind date, in a weird way! I stood at the counter and ordered drinks, she stood a few people down in the que with her mum. At the time however we didn’t know how each other looked,so i was staring in a ‘are you here to meet a photographer‘ kind of stare. I lowered my bags holding wedding albums to give a hint, and after a nervous question of identity we laughed, felt relieved and sat down for coffee and green tea.
Shortly after our meeting,I was booked. I was happy,so happy i popped a bottle of bubbly. You see this was the first booking that I had from an outsider, someone who didnt already know me. But someone who saw in me potential. And for this I am more grateful than you know.
When I met with Lee and Michelle today it was like meeting old friends. Not just clients. As we parted Michelle gave me a thank you card.. But really Michelle, I would like to Thank you. x
