"I'd love to get together and chat with you about your photography and how we can work together" was what her first emailed contained. Now there's my love language! Talk to me about what I love! I must admit I was a little nervous at first knowing I was going to sit across a table from someone who makes her living from polishing people's faces with her make-up. Panic stricken I painstakingly applied my own make up that morning and fretted over every little spot.
Well the fretting was certainly wasted! Trena greeted me with a hug right away and I knew that even though she makes others look beautiful she was already searching a little deeper than my skin. She has this gift. The gift of exuding warmth and friendship from the first meeting. She is encouraging and very definitely challenging! I walked away from our first coffee re-energized and excited about what could be ahead for my photography. I mentioned to Garth the other day that Trena is more than just a business contact, but that she is a friend and someone I look forward to getting to know better.
I'm excited about what is ahead for us this weekend. Trena (the little mover and shaker) has been in Calgary for 4 months and has already scheduled a photo shoot at a bridal salon for this Sunday. I'm a little nervous about the whole fashion shoot thing, but like I said in an earlier post ....."it's all about the stretch!" So look for some posts in the near future from Sunday's shoot (exciting!!). Anyways you'll see Trena's skilled hand at work in those photos, but to see some now check out her site here . Trena and I met for a little photoshoot and some coffee the other day. We found a great location for those days that aren't so great and Trena worked it! You'll see below that this girl knows how to be infront of a camera. I'm excited to see what the future holds.
