Suggest weekly photoshoot

You drift behind Lisa, who is currently swiping through images on her tablet, showing Kenzie and Chloe some of her past editorial work. The air around her is vibrating with that "predatory" professional instinct you sensed earlier.

You reach out, not with a touch, but with a concentrated whisper of intent. You focus on her desire for "content" and her realization that this family is a goldmine.

Lisa’s eyes drift from the screen to the girls, then to the house itself. She lets out a thoughtful hum.

"You know," Lisa says, looking at Cherie, "I’ve been looking for a long-term project. Something consistent. I have a feeling this house—and you kids—could be a real masterpiece if we do it right. What if we made this a weekly thing? A structured shoot every Tuesday or Wednesday?"

Chloe’s eyes go wide with excitement. "A weekly shoot? Like, professional?"

"Professional-grade," Lisa confirms, glancing toward the house where the sound of Chad’s hammering can be heard. "Maybe during the day while the light is at its peak... and while the house is a bit quieter. I find men like your husband tend to get in the way of the 'vibe' when they’re hovering around."

Cherie laughs, a bit of that neglected-wife bitterness leaking through. "Oh, Chad would definitely be in the way. He’d probably try to tell you how to angle the tripod. Tuesdays work for me—he’s usually at the firm until at least six."

Mike flashes a grin at Cherie. "And I can always come over to help with the heavy lifting... or the 'motivation.' You know, keep everyone's energy up."

Tyler, who has been hovering nearby, finally finds his voice. "I can help with the lighting and the digital workflow, Lisa. I've been reading up on high-speed sync and..."

"Perfect," Lisa interrupts with a smile that's a little too sharp. "It's a deal then. Our first official session this coming Tuesday. Kenzie, you and I can brainstorm the 'mood' tomorrow."

Kenzie nods quickly, her sketchbook already filling with ideas. She’s looking at Mike’s shirtless form again, then at her sister, then at the water. You can see her beginning to visualize how to "stage" the family.

Cherie stands up to lead them back inside for more lemon bars, but as she passes the sliding glass door, she catches her reflection. She looks at herself, then back at Mike, and for a split second, she wonders if Lisa will ever want her in front of the camera, too.
