On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me his support! Today was fantastic, as I was invited to participate in a photo shoot with Ashley Genevieve and Katie Lomax, both amazing photographers. I was honored when James asked if he could come along to see me model! He has seen pictures of previous modeling I've done but never seen me in action, it was actually very wonderful to have him come. I became very nervous that he would be there watching me twist around in funny poses, so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect.
When I woke up this morning, he was still snoring, dead asleep and I knew he had a very late night, so it was likely he was going to enjoy this long day. I got everything together and snuck back into the room to find him still passed out, so I quietly leaned over the bed and said goodbye. He jumped up and said "I'm getting ready right now!" with a happy smiley face. I was very surprised, he quickly got ready and helped me to remember what I wanted to bring to the shoot. He drove us to get coffee and we chatted happily all the way to the location. We sat in the car waiting to be let into the BEAUTIFUL house where the photo shoot was to happen and I watched him play a silly game on his phone (I expected him to want to sit and play on his phone the whole 5 hours). Once we were waived to come in, he helped me out of the car and helped bring in all of my stuff, which would have taken me two trips, into the house. We got a great tour of the house and there he was following right behind us, still with the biggest smile on his face.
I started getting ready for the shoot and he sat in the kitchen waiting for hair and makeup to be completed. I started the shoot off working with Katie Lomax, comfortable as ever, I did see him peek around the corner trying to stay out of my sight so he would not make me nervous. Hours passed and it was time to eat but our food hadn't been dropped off yet, so James stepped up and offered to go pick up food for everyone!
The day continued and James continued to watch as much as he could. He was SO supportive the whole time and continued to smile, ear to ear! I had so much fun and felt so much more confident with James there, I never felt alone (I didn't know anyone there very well) and I felt special to have the most important person there watching me. Great day!
