I prepped Taylor by letting her know that it was going to be just like a play date at the park where we get to meet new friends and play with other kids without mommy always by her side. Of course, if she didn't hang on me all day I told her I'd take her to Starbucks, the mall, wherever she wanted to go afterwards. Haha! Funny enough, she ended up having so much fun that she never asked to go to those places afterwards!
We got there and she had over an hour to get to know the kids she was going to be in the shots with and just play. They had so much fun together it was perfect! It was fun for me to watch all the people involved in this whole process, including the photographer who I knew. Some mom's were quite interesting; you could tell this was their livelihood...trecking their kids around to photo shoot after photo shoot for some extra cash. Very interesting world out there.
When it was time to get ready, Taylor and the other girl got to sit in these tall Director Chairs to get their hair done. They loved it! They then went down to the clothing truck and got clothes and shoes picked out for them. They then went off with the Child Wrangler who had to have been my most favorite person all day! I could have watched him play with kids all day long...soooo amusing! Taylor was cracking up with him, giggling and just having so much fun in front of the camera.
There were two girls and a boy in the shoot and after about 10 minutes they decided to take one of the girls out and leave just Taylor and the boy. They did such fun shots together and from what Silas said, the client loved her. So, we will see, she may be up in a Stride Rite store in the Spring!
Mint mocha smoothies, freshley baked cookies, a fun play date, some cute photos, and a few hundred dollars in Taylor's college fund...overall it was a great day!
