An old friend from my theatre days facebooked me yesterday (Yes. Facebook is a verb now. Didn’t you get the memo?) needing new headshots by tomorrow. That’s right. 48 hours from when she contacted me to when she needed them for an audition. So, we met yesterday evening in the drizzling April rain. And here I already have the three she’s chosen and completely prepared for her for tomorrow. Word.

But it gets better. I love Sam. She’s got a sweet personality and a gorgeous mouth. (Hope that doesn’t sound strange. It’s just the photographer in me.) Anyway, I had the pleasure of shooting Samantha’s headshots about six years back. She’s easily one of the most natural subjects I’ve encountered and just a true joy to work with. In light of my recent decision to tap back into the headshot market (after a roughly five year stint pursuing other photography avenues,) I was just talking about her on Tuesday, saying, “I wonder if Sam needs a new headshot. She’s someone I’d love to shoot again.” And wouldn’t it be that the universe drops an insanely cool audition in her lap for Saturday and the necessity for a recent headshot. Which prods her to facebook ME before I had the chance to facebook her!! Coincidence or something more? Either way, I LOVE IT!!

And for the sake of artistic integrity, I had to throw in my favorites, too…
