Gavin had a modeling job yesterday from 10:00 in the morning, until 6:00 in the evening. No, he didn't work for that long we rode a bus for almost 2 1/2 hours to this beautiful nature farm, "The Flying Cow Ranch." We had lunch as soon as we got there (cold chicken nuggets and hamburgers, because it was freezing cold outside), then it was time to work. Gavin did not want to cooperate at all for his first outfit. I think he was overwhelmed by all of the people, and the cold misty weather. It really stinks they have to do the summer shoots in the winter and vice versa (I remember Noe wearing 3 layers of wool in the blazing heat for one shoot). Anyway, they changed him into his second outfit and gave him some candy and a singing panda toy to play with and he was all ready to go then. Although, he never wore the hats they wanted him to.
Why and 1/2 is the company he worked for (a very popular Taiwanese Children's Store) and they always do the shoots at amazing locations. Anyway, it seemed like we were in a dream. This beautiful farm, with tons of cows, sheep, geese, and this surreal foggy weather.
There were 7 children working today and a HUGE entourage. The photographer, and all of his lighting, etc crew, each child had their own dresser, the make-up artists, the agents, the people to make the kids smile and laugh for the pictures. Gavin snagged the blush brush from the make-up artist and decided to apply it himself. (Yes, he watches mommy every day.)
There were also lots of cute props. Here is the pink face cow, there were also blue and red ones.
Gavin's friends Lizzy and Leah were at the shoot too, but he only got to pose with the other boys. It's always fun to make new friends though.
These cows were so lovey I had to take their picture. The brown cow kept rubbing her face up and down the black & white cow's back, it was so cute!
The little boys were so cute holding hands and dancing together. They had to to stay warm! Each child had their own warm blanket to snuggle up in between shots though. (What will a mother do to put money in her kids' saving accounts and for free pictures? What can I say, they approached us when we first moved here and I saw it as a once in a lifetime opportunity. We will not be pursuing show-biz when we're back home.)
The girls had another shot to do at the end, so I took some pictures of Gavin exploring the scenery. He's just a little guy!
Where do these stairs go?
His little mischievous smile. These days whenever he does something naughty, and I tell him no, no- he'll flash me one of these babies. How can I get upset at that cute face?
