I came home from the grocery store and Jeff told me that I had received a phone call from Frank, a past client, who was trying to set up a last minute session as a birthday surprise for his wife. There was a very small window of opportunity for him to speak with me without her around, so he was desperate to get in touch at that exact moment. Jeff let him know that I was out and gave him my other number. After calling and leaving me a voice mail (spotty service in the grocery store) he called Jeff again and asked him if he knew exactly where I was so that he could have me paged in the store.
Now, if this had been anyone else, I would have felt a little bit stalked.
Knowing Frank, I was just super charmed. Charmed and excited to get to photograph them again. Especially because I would be in on the surprise for Michele, who didn’t find out about the shoot until the morning of. Even better, it was scheduled for her actual birthday. I don’t think a birthday can get any better than that!
I photographed them in their amazing hotel suite and all over the grounds of the Ritz. This was my first session of 2010.
And we all had a good chuckle about the stalking thing.
