"Beautiful!"

"Nice. Just a few more shots. Give it all you got."

"Gorgeous."

"Now, face the camera for me please. There you go. Hold it. Beautiful!"

"Just relax your face a little. Yes. That's it."

"In three, two, and one. That's a wrap for today's shoot! Goodjob!"

I stood up from the chair and smiled to the staff. "Thank you! Thank you po!"

The make-up artist and hair stylist approached me and fixed my face immediately. Nginitian ko din sila at nagpasalamat. 

"Ang ganda po ng mga poses niyo ma'am. Parang professional na po ang dating niyo," sabi ng babae

I smiled shyly. "Uh, salamat po."

They continued to shower me with compliments. My heart fluttered in joy. It always boosts my confidence whenever someone compliments me. I just get shy sometimes to respond,

Ilang sandali ay nilapitan ko si Ma'am Giselle na siyang naging photographer ko. "Thank you Ma'am, for having me in your shoot. It's such a huge honor."

She smiled. "You're welcome. You did really great. You exceeded my expectations. Thank you for accpeting our offer kahit na galing lang kami sa maliit na company. We're really looking for models to endorse our brand and I'm happy that you became part of it."

Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko. "Aw, thank you Ma'am G. Kung hindi din po ako pinakilala ni Patrick sa;yo, e 'di hindi ko po kayo makikilala. I really enjoyed the photoshoot today."

"Glad you enjoyed. We had fun too. Hindi ka naman nahirapan masyado ano?" she chuckled

"Ay, hindi naman po. Para nga lang po akong naglalaro eh. The staff really took care of me," nahihiya kong sabi

She nodded. "Do you want to see the photos?" 

I smiled widely. "I'd love to!"

I followed her from behind. May maliit na table at doon nakapatong ang laptop niya. Umupo siya at nakatayo lang akong tinitignan ang mga photos na kinuha niya.

"Wow, ang ganda ko naman diyan!" 

She chuckled. "You are really beautiful Tori. Every shot maganda," she said as she swipe to the next slide

"Ilan po palang frames yung ginawa natin?"

"Mga nasa apat ata."

I nodded. "Kaya pala. Ang dami din ah, pero keribells."

The first frame, I am wearing a long white dress with puff sleeves. I look demure and pure, far from my style but I still slayed.

"Medyo kinabahan nga po ako sa umpisa kasi ang gaganda ng damit na pinakita niyo sa'kin before the shoot. Akala ko hindi babagay sa'kin," sabi ko

"That's what I love about our clothing line. We have varieties of clothes from all shapes and sizes that any women can wear. Our stylist, Kelly, personally handpicked the clothes that will suit you best."

"Yeah, that's why I didn't hesitate to accept your deal. I admit na medyo picky po ako sa brands but as much as possible I support small brands as well may it be clothes, make-up, basta anything beauty related. I really love the clothes that the stylist picked for me."

"You look pretty in the white dress, such a cute and innocent concept," she smiled

I chuckled. "Akala niyo lang po," I joked. "To be honest, it's really not my style but I'm glad that I still pulled it off."
