So, my oldest is now in college but has been involved with photography classes since high school.  Often times she needs models to help with certain projects.  As her mom I am always at the ready!  When she was still under our roof I was the savior for last minute donuts, rides for friends, and any assistance needed for school projects…aka #1-photo-assistant.  Mainly I would hold light boxes.  I took my lighting job seriously, making sure the subjects for shots were lit to perfection.  My lighting was ON POINT! I’d get on step stools in precarious positions all to get the right angle.  My hands would cramp with the grip it required to hold those light boxes at a certain angle.  I found angles that aren’t even known as angles. Angles, angles, angles!  Angles that only a #1 photo assistant (aka Mom) could master.  All for the cause!  But, all the while offering myself as a willing “subject matter” too.  Always the bridesmaid, never the bride…
