butterflies in my belly...


tonight i take my first
photos
of people
that are not part of my
family...

and i'm nervous...
sick-to-my-stomach
don't-feel-ready
nervous...

i was going to write about the potato salad
and marinated bbq chicken i am making for supper...
or about the great photos i got on my
5 am sunday morning drive...
or how 13 kicked butt on her band trip
(and i only cried for a moment as she left the driveway
to be gone for two nights this year)

but instead...
i've got butterflies in my belly...

good luck honey, it will be wonderful i am sure :-)

and ... i still get butterflies beforehand, no matter how many i've done since the first one :-)

I used to work as a reporter for a weekly rag here in town. I loved that I got to take photos but the nerves would always get me...

The Man shot a wedding once. Said he would never EVER do it again. Too much riding on it.

My photos I have decided are my own little secret... not for profit.

I have butterflies for a shoot this Sat....totally get it...they most likely will dissipate as soon as you start shooting.
