Target photoshoot

We got the email Monday night confirming that Kailah got the job modeling for TARGET.  we were so excited!(well Jason and I were. Kailah actually had No idea what was going on.)  

So this morning was the shoot. We woke up Bright and early and Headed to the Beach. This was her first 'official' photoshoot so i didn't really know what to expect. We got there and they had breakfast catered for us and I instanlty was welcomed by one of the other mothers from Zuri, her daughter is 9months and has been doing gigs since she was brand newborn!  from there we met with the set "teacher" who is required to be there if children are present, she was really nice and answered ALOT of my questions, so i didn't feel so lost in the whole process. Then we went to fitting for Kailah's outfit. It was Circo brand clothing which we all know runs VERY big. So they actually had a seemstress on set to take in the onesie Kailah was wearing to fit her perfect.  

While the other kids get fitted we fill out lots of paperwork and then Kailah goes to Hair and makeup (this is all done inside one trailer by the way.)  makeup consits of neutrogena sunscreen and the Hairstylist(a MAN i must add) slops in some mouse and picks through her hair with a WIDE toothed comb and blows it dry, it pretty much looked like what it did before he even did anything to it, he should have just handed over the comb! blah!

Then she got redressed and it was time to start shooting.  It was getting close to Kailah's nap time so i was worried about how she would do, but they put some buckets and shovels in the sand and added a couple friends and Kailah was anything, but ready for a nap!  She did so good, she kept kicking her legs in the sand and watched the other kids play. I actually took a photo but got in trouble by the director of the shoot cause I wasn't supposed to take pictures on set. I felt like an Idiot cause I'm sure somewhere in all the paperwork I signed there was something that said DO NOT take pictures on set. Well feeling like an idiot was worth it cause now i have this pic!:  (please don't leak this! haha)

So after being on set a whole 2 hours.  They were actually only taking pictures for maybe 15 minutes!  What I didn't realize was until children are usually 4 years old directors will always hire 2kids of the same age so if one doesn't do good then they can throw in the other baby.  Luckily all three of the first kids that went did really good and they got the shots they were looking for so they never even used the back up models.  I felt bad for the other moms who brought their kids out and went through that whole process but the good thing is their kids still get paid no matter if they are in the pictures or not. :)

SOOO... accroding to the paperwork I was filling out Kailah should be in the Target "circular" (adds and internet)  around the 1st of May, so keep your eyes out for her.  I don't get any of the actual pictures they took so I will be wanting an add too!!!
