Let's Capture It

"Mila, don't you think it's time you settle down and find someone of your own? HA I can be YOUR photographer!" Her best friend emphasizes. Of course Camila wanted to settle down and have her own extravagant wedding, but she wasn't rushing it.

"Dinah I would not freaking hire you as my photographer. Knowing you, you'd probably be drunk by the time I walk down the aisle. Let's face it, there'd be no pictures." She chuckles back.

"Okay you right! But seriously Chancho we gotta hit the clubs this weekend! I'ma finds you a manzzz." Camila shakes her head at her best friend. She didn't really like the club scene. It was just too loud and too many people wildin' out for her liking. She's been in that environment too many times to know that most of those people in the club are sleezes.

"Cheech, as much as I LOVE going to the club with you," she starts off sarcastically. "I mean like.. I just want to find someone in a NORMAL setting. I mean why is it so hard for someone to ask 'hey, would you like to grab a cup of coffee sometime?' You know most of those guys in the club are just looking for sex 90% of the time anyways." She gets up off her couch and goes to open her laptop to continue editing the photos she took from the previous wedding.

"Mila you know I just want you to be happy more than anything. I love you and you're my best friend. I mean look at this place," Her best friend points out. "You got 3 bedrooms in this house! One day, you're gonna fill these rooms up!"

She rolls her eyes at her friend when she sees Dinah start to pack her things.

"Heading out already?"

"Yeah, gotta get back to the pregnant girlfriend before she starts blowing my phone up."

"Mhm tell Mani I say hello!" Camila says while getting up to brew coffee. It was going to be a long night of editing and she needs all the help she can get to stay up.

"Will do! Hey, I meant to ask you but would you be willing to take a few pictures of Mani and I at the shower?"

"Yeah I can do that. Free of charge for my best friend!" Camila winks.

"This is why you're the best Chancho." And with that, Camila found herself alone at last. It's not that she didn't like when Dinah was around but let's just say she was always distracted from her work when her best friend was around.

A few hours into editing, three cups of coffee later and Camila was only halfway done. It was okay though because she still had another 10 days before these photos were due. Although sometimes being a wedding photographer was stressful, she absolutely loves it. She loves being able to capture that one moment in everyone's lives. It's special. And hopefully someday she'll have someone to capture her moment with a click of a button.

Camila decides to take a break from editing. She was starving. The only thing she ate all day was a chicken Caesar salad. She looks at her phone which reads 8:30PM. It was too late to cook dinner so she decided to use Uber eats tonight.

Within 45 minutes her dinner had arrived. As she sits down on the couch eating, her phone flashes with a new notification in her email. She opens it to see who would be emailing her this late at night.

Hello Ms. Cabello,

I absolutely love your gallery online and I would love for you to photograph my wedding. The plan is within a few months and I am going to the venue in two weeks. I would love for you to see it with your own eyes!

Sincerely,
Allyson Hernandez

'Perfect timing' she thinks. She needed to book another wedding anyways and this time, the client came to her. Camila replies back and sets up a meeting with Allyson while finishing the rest of her dinner. She really wishes she hadn't eaten all of her food because now she was seriously getting lazy. With that, she decides to call it a night and hit the sheets.
