As the “Creative one” in my family, I am often asked to help out for family events, take the photos, make the slideshows…ect.
Don’t take that the wrong way, I love this task. My oldest brother, as a lawyer, he’s asked for advice and help from family and friends more often. He often jokes that he will look over anything I sign in exchange for taking photos of his son.
“My hourly rate is a little higher, sis, but let’s call it even.”
A few years back (wow, it’s been nearly 4) when he announced his was getting married, I wanted to do something special. Reading a passage in the wedding wouldn’t allow me to take photos. HMM…what could I do? Before I came up with any great idea, he asked for video. He sent tons of photos of his wife and himself with one request: “Make it pretty.”
This is the “pretty” video:
