Watercooler Diaires::The Photo Shoot

Buzzzzz. My Blackberry is buzzing somewhere near my elbow. It’s 6 a.m. Today’s the day of my photo shoot, and I’m nervous. Video is one thing. I’m speaking. I’m imparting information. It’s journalism. Shooting print photos is entirely different. There is something slightly voyeur-esque about it all.

Now it’s a scramble. I have to be out of my house at 7:45 a.m. for hair and manicure/pedicure across the street at the salon and then at the studio in Fort Lauderdale by 10 a.m.

I arrived with a giant suitcase full of clothes. Christy, my makeup artist, had already arrived. We chatted while she did my makeup (see photos). She offered me a brown rice cake and concluded our make-up session with a pat on the arm and a wink: “You’ll be fine, Kate; this is old hat.”

Thank God my producer Barry came. He told me he was there to shoot video for the new “Watercooler Diaries” opening, but he might have been a “support system” in disguise sent by my staff.

Anyway, I survived, and I’ve got the photos to prove it! Don’t forget to check in at www.kbtvonline.com to view the updated site next month with new photos, video, archives, blogs and more!
