Today was my last day with Kara Cooper for my internship. I met her at her studio around 11am. We drove to the shoot together. The location was around 50th and Hawthorn for a headshot session. The session started at 11:30am. I helped Kara for a few hours while she got her shots in, assisting with lens changing and carrying her equipment until about 1pm then we wrapped it up. When we got back to her studio we went over her contract files and her editing process as a refresher. I learned a lot from Kara when it comes to being a self employed photographer in Portland and how to get great opportunities for traveling for work as well.

Today Kara and I wrapped up things with another small shoot she did downtown, then we headed downtown to pick up her frames from previous her art show I attended a few weeks ago. We went to Club Privata to get her frames, we wrapped each of them up before putting them into her car and we took them back to her studio. When we got back she went over how she can afford to travel and how she gets models in LA while she is in Portland. I have one more visit with her next week

On Monday I headed to Kara's studio around 3:30. Kara went over a company shoot with me editing, contracts, how she narrows it down to 20 for her small package and how she shares the images with her clients as well as what she says to them and goes over at the end. We also went over last weeks family shoot I assisted her with and she showed me the package they paid for and how she edits those down as well. I also was around for her to book a shoot with a client. I left around 6:30pm
