It was going to be the first photo shoot Kimberly had done with a human subject since college and she was, to say the least, a little nervous about it. The last one she'd done had been in a studio, equipped with everything she could've ever wanted or needed except, of course, the one thing that Kimberly liked most about photography. Nature. The fact that it was winter didn't really impede Kimberly that much, because if she was lucky and if Dairine worked with her well enough and they got along, there would be other seasons in which she could shoot the girl and her portfolio would be nicely rounded out by the time she finished school.

Assuming, that was, she actually went back. Kimberly was fairly sure that she would, but it was about deciding if she wanted to stay in Canada or try to go back to New York. Felix had said there was a university she could go to and Kimberly was still mulling it over. If she wanted to go back at all, though, she would need a decent portfolio, so when Dairine agreed to having her pictures taken after a boy named Wesley had volunteered his redheaded friend on the forum, Kimberly was excited.

She paced back and forth in the lobby, waiting for the girl to arrive, weighted down with her camera and the bags of backdrops, towels, different lenses, covers, film canisters both full and empty, and other assorted things Kimberly liked to keep readily available during a real shoot.

There were lots of ideas floating around in Kimberly's head for different shots but until she saw Dairine in person, she didn't hold her breath for any of them in particular. It would all depend on the girl and what she looked like - because sometimes photos could be deceiving; how she carried herself. If she looked confident and carefree, Kimberly would use that. If she looked flexible with lots of different facial expressions in short conversation while traveling from location to location, Kimberly would go in that direction instead. For now, she had basic shots in mind that practically anyone, she thought, could pull off. Pensive. Sad. Happy. Distant. Those would be the four basics for anything shot inside or during the light. For sunset and silhouettes, Kimberly supposed it didn't much matter what Dairine's expressional ability was, so that was safe, as well.

The doors of the hotel lobby opened and Kimberly paused in her pacing and train of thought to look up. A smile slid across her face. "You must be Dairine," she said, holding out her free hand to shake. "I'm Kimberly. Thank you - so much - for agreeing to do this, I really appreciate it," she gushed.
