no pics just stories

Okay, so today I had a huge portrait party in Enid, OK. One of the families I have taken several pictures of from engagement, wedding, family, is the Thompson family (Brittney). Her sister Brandi has also been at a lot of these events and decided to throw a portrait party, which when someone hosts a 'get together' and families couples kids come and can get their pictures taken at a location for a cheaper price. It was a great day and 9 families came & tons of portraits were taken. I also was able to get some Christmas props. I try to keep pictures simple but classy, I don't really like corny backgrounds or weird props that kids would never use anyway. I just looked 3077 pictures were taken, I am sure that will be limited down but it was a great day for pictures.

My real story which I am sure you are bored and don't even make it to this point. I went to wal-mart this morning because I had this idea for these pictures to get boxes to wrap like presents so I could put kids or babies in so it looked like they were in a present for Christmas.
I went to the check out line and the lady said to me
'so are you sending a lot of gifts today'
I responded 'no I am actually a photographer and I have some portraits here today & these are a few of my props'
she responded to me again 'oh, where do you photography at here in town' (which I am Enid, OK remember.)
I again respond, 'I actually am from Oklahoma City but I have several clients this direction and just set up in peoples home for portraits.'
She then said, 'oh people don't usually make house calls anymore'

I cracked up laughing. I was just said thanks, I mean I am not a doctor. :)

SECOND STORY..

A few months ago I decided to get another cell phone for my business mainly because I have had a 580 since I was 18 & was originally from western oklahoma. I have had my business for about 5 years now so a lot of my clients and cards are out there with my 580 number, so I went ahead and just added a line because it was about the same price to share the minutes and that way I could have a 405 number as well & not have to worry about shutting off my other line.
WELL, since I have had my new number I get so many wrong numbers. I always call people back even they dont leave a message mainly because it could be a potential client. WELL TODAY, I called back a number that had called me,
the girl answered and I said this is Jared Wanzer, I am a photographer in Oklahoma City and I had a missed call from you,
she said, 'you have the wrong number'
Which after that in my mind I am thinking um are you kidding me you crazy girl you called me but instead I said, 'um no i don't think i have the wrong number i just responded to the number the had called me earlier today'
She then gave some excuse her sister must have used her phone earlier today.
I decided after that anytime I get a wrong number I am adding them to my phone as WRONG NUMBER & so then if they call I see it is a wrong number and will answer and say 'wrong number' and hang up :)

Ok, the end of my stories for the day :) I am sure no one made it to the end
