Never-Done-Before

Today, I do something I've never done before. In a few hours, I will be shooting a wedding.

Okay, it's not a real wedding, which is the never-done-before part (because, really, who has shot a fake wedding before?). I'm staging wedding photos for my portfolio, for my site. I'm bringing together five people, behind the camera and in front of it, and we're making this thing happen.

I'm anxious. I have a hundred things to do, and less than three hours to do them. I've checked, double checked, and triple checked my gear. I charged both batteries, replaced the batteries in my flash, scrounged up some rings, borrowed a wedding dress, crossed my fingers to find a perfect location... but I can't shake this weird feeling that this is, by far, the strangest thing I've ever done. I'm jittery and scatterbrained, and I can only hope that this will all go away before the shooting starts.

Who What?

Megan thinks it's so much fun to write about herself in third person that she can't help but do that now. Megan was born the plump child of two staffing industry sweethearts. At the precocious age of three, she learned to read, bite her younger brother, and help people. She followed her compassion for and love of people into hospice, working as the Volunteer Coordinator, and later Director of Volunteers, for two LA-based hospice agencies. Her experiences there were rather grim, so in December 2009 she made the leap into staffing, satisfying both her compassionate side and her epic need to crush competition. Away from the office (er, laptop, as she is glued to her computer and Droid, and annoys her fiance by working far more than she should), Megan is heavily involved with her church. She loves to write and will someday publish 482 books, loves movies (and alphabetising them), and believes that the Brits spell everything correctly.

About This Blog

Really, this is purely intended as an outlet for me. It's not for you... Okay, maybe it's a little for you. I want to write and take pictures and share both with everyone who wants to read them. So that's all this is. Just my gallery wall, my best-selling novel.
