Grace's Summer Job

Grace has been working for a photographer who is a member of our church this summer.  She's doing the usual go-fer type things, fetching equipment, holding reflectors, things like that.  She's also filled in for a no show actress in a t.v. commercial.  She's sewn bobby pins on a bride's veil just a short time before she walked down the aisle at one wedding and curled the groom's mother's hair at another.  Grace has definitely been a jack of all trades.

The photographer allowed Grace to take a few pictures of the ceremony at the last wedding shoot she attended. Grace is getting a education about how photography works in today's world--from the technology involved, to the business end of things, to how to deal with people--all kinds of people.

This next year will be Grace's senior year and she'll have a full academic load, as well as a more involved piano schedule and a new baby brother, so we don't expect that she'll have a ton of extra time for working outside the home.  However, this little job has been a fun, sometimes grueling, but also rewarding experience for her.  She's tickled to have her own bank account, too.

As a side note, on the days that Grace has been gone all day working, Elizabeth has really stepped up to fill her shoes.  She's done an awesome job of helping to keep the household running, as well as entertaining the little ones who miss their big sister when she's gone.
