Ashlynn's POV.

I went up to shake Ms.Madison's hand to thank her for this chance she's given me. " Ms. Madison, it's so nice to meet you. Thank you so -" , I was soon cut off be her surprising words.

" Now now dear. My name is Shannon so you call me that! And no thank you for applying for this program we are all so impressed with your work. You earned this position." she energetically said causing me to blush.

"Thank you so much for being so welcoming!" I said with complete gratefulness.

" Not a problem love, now follow me and I'll show you around and introduce you to everyone and then we can start for today!" I followed her meeting everyone and trying to remember everyone's name in the office. She then led me to a studio with her name on the front of it.

I entered in behind her completely mesmerized by such a beautiful place that only a photographer would appreciate. " Welcome home Ashlynn.." She said to me in a calm manner. If we are being totally honest I felt like I did when I walked into Disney World for the first time; I felt weightless. I started tearing up enough for her to notice before I did. " Now love. You can't afford to cry in here. This is where you get all of the self doubt out." I looked at her and smiled knowing she was so right. This place is probably one of the best things that has happened to me.

Ashlynn's POV.

"So do you love the studio as much as I did when I first got here as an intern some odd years ago?" Her words and questions surprising me hearing that she was once in this same position I'm in. She understands. " Well I cried. So I don't know what that means to you. " I laughed when I answered her question.

"It tells me that you have a bright future here and you don't even realize it yet." She said smiling at me causing me to be awe struck again at her words. " Well I'm off now; GOOD LUCK with your first client!" She began to walk away...

" WAIT WHAT?! You're leaving me here by myself? You're letting me do this by myself? Are the pictures going anywhere?" I rambled on searching for some clarity in the fact that she leaving me alone.

" Breathe, I'll be back in to observe but I trust you Ashlynn. You have good instincts. The models is yours for 4 hours to do as you please; I will choose the best ones to preview in next months issue!" she said answering my question unhelpfully and walking away.

I sat my stuff down and explored the studio to see more into what I was working with. I hope this model I had wasn't a bitch like most of them were, if so 4 hours would turn into 30 minutes. No questions about that. I heard the door creak open to see a tall slim brunette with big eyes ask me if this is where she was supposed to be for the photo shoot! I shook my head as she walked in to introduce herself being very proper and polite!

" Hi, my name is Eleanor Calder. you must be my photographer for the day!" I nervously yet loudly replied with " Hi! Yes I'm Ashlynn Martinez! " she looked at me a bit surprised "Ah, you're an American! How long have you been in England??" I mentally counted answering her question " I got here Saturday..so 2 days" she nodded and said "well if you need anything don't hesitate to ask!" She was a lot nicer than I had anticipated and she looked so familiar I just didn't know why. I directed her towards hair and make up letting the team what kind of look I wanted.

This was it.
