Speaker 2
Yes definitely! And that's awesome, I wish I could take better photographs!

honestly so much comes down to camera! I bet you're as good as I am when it comes to angles or knowing what to do -- the camera is what makes the picture fancy, not my skills, lol. do you use a phone camera or do you like to use a real camera for pics?
Speaker 2
I use my phone, don't take enough pictures for a real camera. If I took better pictures I would post more on social media lol

Speaker 1
What do you and your dogs do on the weekends?
Speaker 2
I like to take my dogs on long walks in the park on the weekends.
Speaker 1
How lovely! Are they on leash or do you let them be :) Both Labradors and Pitbulls are full of energy!
Speaker 2
My local park requires all dogs to be on a leash, so I follow the rules and make sure they are always on a leash. 
Speaker 1
Yes most parks do with a few exceptions! Do the kitties tag along too?!
Speaker 2
My cats do not like exercise, they prefer to stay home and take a nap.
Speaker 1
Haha why am I not surprised! By the way have you been applying for jobs at insurance offices?
Speaker 2
Yes, I have. I've got a few interviews lined up next week. I hope I get a job offer!

Speaker 1
How did your job interviews go?
Speaker 2
One of my interview pretty well. i answered everything cleverly, hoping to hear something later. Any portraits are you working on?
Speaker 1
I've been painting a lot of landscapes. Usually photographic portraits are for customers, so I haven't had a chance to express myself that way. 
Speaker 2
that is cool you're doing what you like though. I usually use my phone for pictures and edit them on Lightroom or Photoshop them sometimes. Do you use any of those?
Speaker 1
I have used the software for some cropping and enlarging, but most of the work is done with the camera. The right equipment and lighting makes it much easier to get a good result. Can't fix a bad photo with software.
Speaker 2
I agree but my pictures need editing A LOT or social media will judge me pretty bad. Do you take pictures of pets?
Speaker 1
I've taken before-and-after photos to show off my grooming skills. Sometimes clients wonder what their pet will look like, so I show them the photos of my work. The quality of the photo does a lot of the selling, actually.
Speaker 2
that a good idea. Can you make my Rocco and Pebbles looks while one lay down there do nothing and other one just run around and do trick somehow LOL..
Speaker 1
I see that you used to have a Mustang. I don't know much about cars. What kind of car was it? Did you modify it in any way?
Speaker 2
Yes it was my first car. I did modified it with a spoiler and booster, people knew that i was coming and it was all muscle. Do you like muscle cars?
Speaker 1
I guess so, but I'm not really a car person. I like to spend my time outdoors, hiking. I wish I knew more about vehicles. 
Speaker 2
I'mmore into new cars now like Tesla but they're expensive. Hiking is great, i have never hiked though. Any advice for the beginners?

I have never gone hiking. I would like to learn about hiking.
Speaker 1
I have some time, do you want me to paint a portrait of your dogs? If you send me a pic I can paint a cool picture of Rocco and Pebbles.
Speaker 2
You know, I just might have you do that. When would you need the pic by and how long would it take to paint it?
Speaker 1
You could get the picture to me at any time. It would probably take me about a week to get it done, but I guess it really depends on how big you'd want it to be!
Speaker 2
Ok, well, you know the only pictures I have are on my phone. Would it work if I sent one of those to you?As far as the size, I'm thinking for something to go in the livingroom above the sofa. What do you suggest?
Speaker 1
A phone photo works just fine! Emailing it to me would probably be best. And I would say something to go above the sofa would have to be pretty large. Maybe 3 feet x 4 feet? But that's really big. That would probably take me a little longer than a week
Speaker 2
Yikes!! I don't think I want it that big. I already have some pictures of my animals up there. Maybe a 24 by 20 inch would do. I wonder.....if I some pictures of the cats, could you put both the dogs and the cats in the picture?
Speaker 1
OH! I didn't realize you had a collage going over your sofa. A 24 by 2o inch would definitely take less than a week. And yes! I can fit as many animals as you'd like! How many are we talking?
Speaker 2
I think I'll just go with the 5...2 dogs and 3 cats. I want you to know, I really really appreciate this! I am surprised you have any time! Don't you have a lot of weddings to photo shoot this summer?
Speaker 1
I have a couple weddings booked as of right now. I have to be honest, I prefer painting to photography. I will always take more time for my hobbies than my job.
Speaker 2
It's nice that you have a good balance with everything. I'm still waiting to hear on my job interviews. 
Speaker 1
That can be so nerve wracking. Waiting for jobs to get back to you is like waiting for rain in a drought. Do you have any positions you really want?
Speaker 2
LOL!! I am hoping for one of the agencies close to where I live and hopefully with an opportunity to advance to managerial. If I get something with a commute, that just has me on the road  too much and with the kiddos (2 dogs,3 cats) waiting at home, I wouldn't like that. So keep your fingers crossed I get something close.
