"Okay one more shot...yes! Alright, thank you! You did a beautiful job girl." I said to the model as she walked off the set.

After much soul searching and building up the courage, I decided to jump head first into a profession I've always been interested in; photography.

I've been doing small gigs here and there for about 5 months now. It was something new for me, but it all just started out as a hobby, that turned into my dream. I bought myself a camera and snapped pictures of anything and everything. It wasn't until Candace talked me into sending them to different companies for expansion on my 'work', that's when they demanded more.

I didn't know I'd gain so much attention just from taking good pictures.

Cameron and I officially broke up. He sold our old home and he actually got together with the thot he was cheating on me with. But jokes on him, cause word on the street is that he caught an STD from her dirty ass. Karma is a bitch isn't it?

I walked over to the refreshment table and grabbed a water bottle and checked a few emails. Candace was my assistant and this was actually suppose to be her job doing this shit, but she's no where to be found for some reason. I swear sometimes I feel like I'm the big sister.

I saw her cut the corner from the studio we were in and jog over to me. "Ohhh my goodness I'm so sorry Genny! Look, I was having lunch with Jarvis and we lost track of time and we went walking on the bea--"

"It's okaaaay Dacy, haha. I'm not mad. How was lunch?" I asked, taking a sip from my water.

"It was so nice, we went to this place by the beach with a water front view, ah! It was just to die for hunny, you should've came with us!"

I gave her a strong side eye. "How was I suppose to come Dacy? I was taking pictures, how? Tell me how?"

"OH! ha! Oh riiiiiight, haha my fault." She said laughing. "But, I did check your emails today and guess who wants a photo shoot with the best to ever do it?"
