Recently, I decided to contact a local modeling agency to see about getting the kids into modeling. Brianna had done a photo shoot before, but nothing ever came of it. The modeling agency met with my husband and the kids and they liked what they saw. I got an email with a contract and it included information for websites to sign the kids up for castings, and also some information about packages for photo shoots.
The other night, when I got home from work, I started discussing the email with my husband. The photo shoots are pretty expensive. Unlike your typical JC Penney, Sears, type photo shoot, these shoots run around $300 as an average for shots from the waist up. This is what is called a head shot. Full body shot shoots are even more expensive. As we were discussing the emails, the kids heard me say to my husband that regardless of what agency we use, the kids will have to have headshots.
I heard Logan gasp. When I looked at him his faced changed from the smiling, happy little guy that was just playing and having a great time, to a distressed, anxious ball of nerves. He seemed as if he were about to hyperventilate. Within seconds, Brianna joined in this dramatic display. I quickly realized what all the fuss was about, but my knowledge made me snicker. My poor kids had to suffer for over a minute before I could contain myself enough to let them know that headshots are photos.
