I have done a couple commissions but am still waiting for one from a pure stranger who has seen my work. Well, I guess you could say I received my first call from a potential client yesterday. I just got off the phone with her and thought my friends here would appreciate this story...

Of course, I was very nervous. So I took out my price list and rehearsed in my mind what my process is for meeting with the client and subject to discuss wardrobe, setting up the photo shoot, pricing, deposit requirement, time frame, the whole schtick!!

After saying a silent prayer I dialed the number. She is an elderly woman who, it turns out, had purchased a large print which had cherubs in it. "I just love those baby angels, you know?..."

"However, these adorable angles are male, of course, and being angels are unclothed. I was wondering if you could paint ribbons over their private parts?". . .

I haven't stopped laughing since graciously ending the phone call !!!
