It is soon to be my one year sign on with Tomme. And I would not trade anything for it!
Lets rewind, to 2007, The Day I met Tomme for the first time: I had emailed Tomme in August of 2007 to shoot my wedding. We made a ‘date’ to meet at Starbucks that September — her signature meeting spot — still hasnt changed. I booked her and did my engagements that November. And it was love at first sight… of my first session, that is! Wink.
For those of you who has never met Tomme, she is one of those people that makes you feel all special and warm and fuzzy. She assures you that her product is the best — which, lets face it — it is!! Insert the fireworks — sparkle sparkle — our personalities meshed! Like an old movie romance. Pshh, who am I kidding. We had discussed work, swapped work and discussed work some more. We decided we liked working with each other. AND it just so happened to be that she was in need of an assistant! So, I asked for the position. Luckily, I was considered! Whoop Whoop.
A year ago this time, we met to stuff our faces in sushi at Wasabi — ahem, I mean — discuss job duties. She gave me the ‘low down’ on what she was to expect out of me, told me more about her Gallery and what she aspires to be in the future. On my way home from meeting with her, I ended up with a flat tire. Great. Thinking to myself… is this the right decision? Is this a sign? Should I take the ‘position’? What will I gain? etc. All these questions began to run thru my head… all because a flat tire was a sign!? Ugh. BUT, luckily, I did not let the tire sway my decision. I signed the contract and sent it back to her with all smiles. And, since that day… I have loved every minute of it. Never regretting my decision.
Tomme develops friendships with her clients that last. Our three year relationship has made us great friends and co-workers. I have thourghly enjoyed working for and with her. Tomme has taught me so much as a professional and as a friend. I would not trade my time with her or my learning experiences.
I love you TomTom! Thank you for hiring me on as a part of your Gallery. I appreciate the time and effort you have put into teaching me become a better assistant to you. Cannot wait to see what we have instore for another year!
Smoooooooch.

Erica you are SOOOO lucky! (flat tire aside) You have an incredible mentor and such great opportunities to improve you own work! This is me jealous and congratulatory!
I’ve heard this a few times, as I’m sure all photographers have – While understandably budgets vary, I do want to incorporate a few resources to read and consider:

This isn’t to talk to you into spending more money but realizing how your money is spent and why purchasing a professional is money well spent.

Commenting on the “we cant afford you”. I cant begin to tell you, the money we spent with Tomme was more than worth it. People dont realize your pictures are the soul of the wedding or event that will last forever. The cake will be eaten, the music will end, the programs will fade and the even the people will leave, but your pictures capture the very essence of each moment and without realizing it, alot of those moments you would never realize happened, if it wasnt for the photographer. Not just any pictures as my preteen daughter can take snapshots, but I mean artful and classic pictures by someone who is dedicated and energetic and passionate about their craft. Not just the standard, everone stand in a line and say cheese!!! We chose Tomme because she is an artist and always adapting and making even the most mundane shot, look like perfection. I should know, I have the pictures to prove it … will you? Not only worth every dime, but worth the time and will always be a friend for life.
