Pictures. You live, eat, breathe and sleep with anything and everything that has to do with Photography. It's your life and passion. You love it so much it's your job. You have progressed so much as a photographer that you work with the most well known photography studio in LA. All artists go there to get their pictures taken for anything. And you so happen to qualify as one of those photographers. Today didn't seem to go as any other regular day as planned...


I walk in the studio, entering the lobby as I greet the secretary. She says hello to me as I swipe my ID card and the doors leading to the offices and main photoshoot center open, as I walked towards my office. Having to pass by a lot of people and fellow co-workers, one by one each greet me with a smile and a "good morning."  I of course do the same. I eventually reach my office and open the door, setting down my things and sit on my computer, turning it on for whatever needs to be done today. "Well, let's see what today is full of " I thought. Just then there's a knock on my door. I look up and see my fellow co-worker, Nick standing at the doorway. "Good morning goregous" he says. I roll my eyes only knowing that he's joking. "What is it Nick?" I asked standing up. "Our boss needs you to do something" he replies. "Like?" I asked. He sighed and handed my piece of paper. "He needs you to run the pictures, edit any of them and send them to the front to have the ones printed out." He replied. I took the paper and looked at "my boss's" request along with the pictures listed. "And he can't do it because?" I said looking at Nick. "He has a session today. Someone new coming. I don't know he's making a big deal out of today." He said. Nick handed me the flash drive full of pictures. "And whose pictures are these?" I asked taking the flash drive. "Shawn Mendes" he said. My heart skipped. I snatched the flash drive and smiled. "I love Shawn." I said giggly. "How did I miss him?" I said sadly.  "Because you were in another photoshoot center helping out." He replied. I sighed. I never really get to do an actual photoshoot and take someone's pictures. That's all my boss does. All I do is run them, check them, edit them and print if I have to. Although I really am a good photographer, I just hadn't had the chance to take someone's pictures. I sighed. "I need a miracle. I want to take someone's pictures." I said. Nick chuckled. "Don't we all?" He said. I smiled and sat down and plugged the flash drive as he winked at me and wished me luck and left.


20 minutes in editing, I finished all the pictures and had them saved. The pictures were good. But I feel like I could've done better with different techniques of the way the picture was taken. It's afternoon now, I spent all my morning editing and running, it's time to send them to the front to print them. I get up and begin to head to the front of the studio where I first entered. As I walked I began to hear people talk about a new artist coming today trying out our studio. As I reached the front, where the lobby was I bumped into Nick who took his break. "Hey did you get those done?" He asked. I smiled "Yeah. They look great. Just ready to print them." I replied. He tapped my shoulder and began to leave. "That's my girl!" He said. I in the other hand, kept waking backwards, keeping an eye on Nick. "Keep it up Y/N." Nick said, his back facing me as I continued to walk backwards. "You're not my boss Nick." I said laughing. I kept on walking but then turned around, facing foward when all of a sudden I bumped into someone, falling and stumbling onto the floor, taking the person with me.


It all happened so fast I fell on top of the person I bumped into. I gasped as my hair touched the persons face. "I am so sorry." We both said at the same time. The voice sounded like a man and I felt even more embarrased. "I'm so sorry" the man said again. I moved my hair out of his face as I looked at him. It was a man. But a young man. Our faces were so close I could hear his breath. "No excuse me I'm so sorry." I say. I felt his hands on my shoulders. We both smiled. It was like the more I look at him the more attractive he looked with his black hair and brown eyes. I felt like I was staring and I quickly stood up and brushed myself as I then helped the guy up. "I'm so sorry I didn't see where I was going." I said to him. "Oh no no I'm sorry I was being clumsy." He replied. We both chuckled and I felt my cheeks turn red. "Well if you excuse me I need to go" I said. He cleares his throat and says "yes" and "sorry again." I left turning toward behind the secretary office as quickly as I can. That was very embarrassing. Especially since the guy was young and very handsome.
