On the catwalk

This is my second attempt at modeling. I filled in for a friend the other day at a photoshoot for a peruvian clothing line. The shirts are really cute, just run a little small. My friend, Paul Jaeger is the photographer, and the other two in the photo with me are 2 of my best friends Ashlee and DJ. Anyway, kind of funny if you ask me. Im not so good at the serious face. But its fun...especially with all the photoshop Paul used :)

And here we go...

I got my photos back today. Some definately turned out better then others. I dont think my modeling career will be taking off anytime soon but at least I had some fun with it

Xpose Photography

Yesterday was my photo shoot, and I have to admit. It was fun! I was really uncomfortable when I got there and it didn't help watching the girl before me do her whole shoot. She was so cute and totally at ease (apparently she had dated her photographer at some point so they already had chemistry!) I had Tawni come with me to help ease me into it and by the end I felt right at home. It was cool having someone else do my hair and make up, made me feel kind of special! I get to go back in on Friday and look at the 300+ images Jason took. I'm excited/nervous...it will be funny to see them, hopefully a few turn out!

Now onto the best part. The best part is I got a job interview out of it. I went in today to talk to them about being the assistant to the model director. It would only be part time but I would be working in a really cool/relaxed environment. And I would be working with photographers so while I may not be doing anything hands on with a camera I get to observe and get a taste for a whole different side to it. I really hope I get the job but we will have to wait and see. Even if it is only a few days a week or for a short stint at least I'm getting into the field a bit more. And I can learn more about the whole photography world from both sides of the camera. What could be better then that?!

1280 The Zone Model search

"I'm a model you know what I mean And I do my little turn on the catwalk Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk yeah I do my little turn on the catwalk"

While I was out with friends the other night I was stopped and asked if i had ever considered modeling. All I could do was laugh. So the guy went on to say they were doing some test shots and wanted me to enter a contest for The Zones model search. I smiled, laughed some more, and apologized for my lack of interest. They seemed to be asking every girl available and well, I'm just not the modeling type...too short, weigh over 100 lbs, and have a very hard time not making faces when someone pulls out a camera. The guy asked me to think about it and i agreed! Well I kept bumping into him and the photographers running the contest, so i finally said yes after about the 10th time. I mean, what could it hurt to simply smile for the camera.

Well it turns out I have been picked to go back for a real photo shoot compliments of "The Zone". They ran my picture past a panel and I apparently passed (along with 63 other girls!). I'm still laughing and have a feeling it is some sort of cruel joke, but I have seen the info, its real. And the Photographers are actually really good. The winner gets to be the spokes model for Utah Golds Gym and a $2000 shopping spree plus a full model portfolio. Now I don't plan on winning or even making it past this next round, I do enjoy the humor of it all and the idea of a shopping spree sounds amazing!

I came across some pictures today and I think I have a great shot at winning. How about you??
