For the past five years I have been keeping a portfolio/scrapbook with pictures of the births I've been to. Each baby got his or her own two sided page and I put the best of my best pics in there as a way to show clients the kinds of pictures I can take, and also as a way for them to get to know me better (there were also pics of my family and my certificates of my doula training, CBE training, workshops I've attended etc in there). And cards/thank you notes from clients as well. I can't find it. I thought it was in my car (I usually keep my doula binder and my portfolio in my car, especially when I have a lot of meetings set up, or births to attend...makes it easy to just go and know where it is) but I just cleaned out my car and it's not there. The last time I used it was the 28th when I took it to a prenatal meeting to show a couple who was considering hiring me. I can't find it anywhere, I've scoured the house, looked all over my car and Jesse's truck...nothing. I am so upset I don't have copies of the pics I used as I give the clients the negatives and just keep a copy of the doubles for myself (with the client's written permission to use them, of course). I know that this is totally minor and petty, especially in the grand scheme of things, but this was a portfolio that I loved, that clients loved and that I was really really proud of. And now it's gone with no way of replacing it.
I'm so pissed at myself...I don't often lose things, especially when they are of such sentimental importance! Fuck :( How the fuck did I lose a big blue binder??!!
:cry:
