student or teacher…

This week I am blessed to have Alister, a Gin Gin year 10 student, working with me in my studio for work experience. Megan and I worked a big shoot yesterday and we threw Alister in the deep end. It was a sink or swim thing. He impressed the heck out of Megan and I. Things that stood out were his knowledge of cameras, light, details, and his amazing ability to be extremely professional. The clients: a law firm with a busy shoot run sheet. Not once did Alister slow down. I didn’t even see him eat lunch!

Small businesses look for people to come into their business to add something. It is so rare to find someone that just fits. It is even harder to find someone that gets what you are doing. I am blessed to have three such people: my husband who is my second for weddings and my first for life, my makeup genius Megan Topham who is beyond amazing, and now Alister (al-is-a-star) whose parents must be so proud of the young man they have raised. Thanks team. Your rock!

And back to teacher or student, yesterday I was both.
