{ Garnet : My FIRST Mentoring Session }

Several months ago I walked into Laykin's school to check her in... we
were late. First and ONLY time. Not bad, right?! Well, I guess everything
happens for a reason. Got her all checked in, about to head out and
a quite and a little bit reluctant...Garnet walks up to me. She starts talking
photography and asks if I would ever consider some sort of
"mentoring/teaching day". I had never thought of it...
Never have I thought, Hmmmm I could teach someone some photography tips.
SO, I said SURE.. I was a little nervous,
what if I didn't make the day "worth it" for her... anyway, spring came
and went... We emailed a little thoughout the end of the school year.
Then June came. I was getting excited... and then the day was here.
I was SUPER excited to meet with her, hear her questions, go out for a shoot,
come back to some fresh fruit and talk shop! We had so much fun!
I gave her the option of me picking the "subject" or her if she wanted.
So her nephews drove from Westplains to meet up with us. They were SUCH
troopers. It was NASTY hot and the knats were OH MY GOSH ew....
Anyway, they are pros @ this modeling thing.
Here are a few of my takes from the session.

Jamie,
Sharing your talent conveys the true professional that you are. You are secure in yourself and what you do so it didn't handicap you to help someone in need of a boost instead, it made me appreciate you more.
I enjoy this hobby and wanted 'a little more' but didn't know how to get it, then you came along.
Yes, I was concerned that our 'mentoring' day might leave me feeling inadequate about my skills...Nope. Jamie, you were kind, thoughtful and encouraging to me. I felt empowered when our time was through.
I'm impressed with those in this busy world who slow down and take time with another. You were a prayer answered for me and I wanted to publicly 'thank you' for a great day.
Sincerely,
garneet
