'Model' Behavior

Earlier this month something REALLY exciting happened to me... I was in a bridal photo shoot!  I got to skip school and EVERYTHING!

On Tuesday morning Mumma packed up all my and Violet's stuff so that Mimi could pick us up and meet Mumma after her class got out.  We had to drive allllllllll the way down to Boothbay Harbor, which is like, 2 hours away!  We spent the night in a hotel room so that we could get to the photo shoot nice and early.

When we got to the shoot, this happened:


That's right, I have REAL makeup on.  Everyone was jealous of my lashes, which Mumma let the nice makeup lady put mascara on!


After makeup, Bonnie did my hair.  I sat really good for her, but made sure she knew that my own mother had burned me once when using that dangerous curling iron.

 
Did I mention Vilee was there?
 

She was pretty good that day, but Mumma sure looked crazy trying to hold her and dress me at the same time!  Mimi was a good helper though and Violet kept busy by crawling and eating... 2 things she's really good at.


Once all that fuss was over, I got to put on the beautiful gowns!  I had four different ones and they were all a little different, but they were all REALLY pretty.

The first one was  my favorite.  I even got to wear a flower crown with it.


The flowers at The Children's Garden, were really pretty...


Sometimes it is really important to give a certain attitude when you're a professional model... like me.


And sometimes it's important to rock a prop.  Obviously this was my favorite parasol because it's purple! I'm very good at twirling it like Shirley Temple.


After lunch I was kinda over being a superstar, but Mr. Russ (he was the photographer) had other ideas.  He still wanted to take photos of me in 2 more dresses... something about me being the BEST model of the day.


Mimi and Mumma really loved this dress with the pink sash, but my hair got all sad, so the pictures just don't have the dazzle the other ones do.  Sigh.... being beautiful is such a tough job.

My last dress was really amazing... but Mr. Russ only got a few quick shots before he lost me completely.  I should tell you that I was at this for 4 hours!

When he said we were done, I really had to think about whether I was happy or not.....
