There is not enough money in the world to make a winter beach
photoshoot enjoyable.
“Goddamn stupid drone,” I mutter to myself as I get the case
situated and pop the top. It’s twenty-five degrees and brisk near the ocean.
Who does a photo shoot in January on the water? Rich assholes, that’s who.
Katie, my business partner, and the secondary shooter, strides up to me,
shivering and shaking her head. “I swear, if I didn’t need this money, I’d be
outta here. And damn the deposit.”
I frown as I poke through the equipment. I’m cold too, but I’d never
ditch a client. Katie might be the business half of our operation, but she has
a lot to learn.
“At least we’re making rent money.” I try a smile, but my face is frozen.
This does not bode well. The package this client purchased includes two
hours of drone footage. I’ll probably be frozen solid in two hours. The wind
pulls tendrils of my hair out of my hood as if in agreement.
“Yeah, twenty percent of twenty-five grand. I’ll take it.”
So will I. No more shifts at the coffee shop downstairs. And with some
penny-pinching, this will tide me over until summer wedding season.
“When’s the big trip? I’ll bet this money will go far in Thailand.”
Katie brightens. She’s going on a month-long vacation. To find herself.
I’d rather find myself a lot more cheaply, but I’m not her.
“Three weeks.” She grins. “I can’t wait.”
“It’ll be great,” I murmur absently. Running the business alone will be
tough, but if I’m being honest, I know we won’t have many shoots between
now and May. Some family photos in Central Park, or engagements on the
water, but no weddings.
Katie fiddles with the settings on her camera, and I settle mine more
firmly on my shoulder. I am not dropping this bad boy in the sand. The
DSLR is $2000 of high-tech equipment. My baby.
I check the light again too, even though I’ve checked three times. I want
this shoot to be flawless. This couple probably has friends in high places,
and I want the photos to be perfect. I look for them down the beach. Still
not here.
The light is always beautiful at this time of day, when the sun is just
starting to peek above the horizon. I love shooting sunrise photos, even if I
hate leaving my warm bed for them. It’s a magical hour, and couples seem
to sense that it’s a secret, private time too. The photos almost always turn
out great.
Unless the couple is late and misses the sunrise. I frown, scanning for a
car in the dim light. If they don’t get here soon, the sun will be fully up, and
they’ll miss the light, when it’s hazy and golden, before it turns sharp and
bright over the sand and the water.
“They’re going to miss the sunrise.” Katie echoes my thoughts.
“I know.” I frown. “They don’t care, I guess. Did they confirm the
time?”
Katie nods and sticks her hands under her armpits.
I shiver and lift my camera, using the screen to snap a few shots. Might
as well be ready when they finally get here.
