To hire or not to hire...

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately going back and forth on this decision!  I think I've finally decided to start searching for an assistant for my newborn shoots!!!  Exciting right?!  To me it is, I would love to have someone helping me who has just as much passion about photography and newborns as I do!  It's exciting and also a little nerve racking, like will I find someone who is trustworthy, reliable and who is comfortable with posing as I am?  I know they will have to learn as we go but I think within a few sessions we should have a great flow between us.  I usually have dads helping and I love that because they are comfortable, it's their child not just another stranger coming into their home holding their baby and posing them..although I hope I'm not much of a stranger lol.  I would just really love to have someone who knows my setup and how we pose at each session, helping smooth out the blanket and fixing fingers ect.  I'm hoping that all of the above will be a high school age person who is willing to dedicate a few hours on a Saturday or Sunday a few times a month.  Pay will be discussed of course!   

These sessions are very important to the parents so making them comfortable with every step we are taking is number 1 priority!  If you know anyone that would be interested please have them contact me, safoglephotos@gmail.com or by text 5402705358 I'd love to get together and discuss this!
