Sydney posed yesterday for her first modeling experience. She and I (and potentially AJ, too, depending on the final shot chosen) will be on the cover of the St. Luke's Foundation annual report. The Foundation is one of my agency's clients, which is how this came about.
For the picture, we needed her to color. Crayon, marker - it didn't matter. She just needed to look adorable while holding some sort of writing utensil.
Now, for anyone who hasn't had an experience such as this, let me tell you, it's a long and tedious process to find the best angle, get the lighting just right and then capture the perfect expression. The photographer and art director are both great with little kids, but it still tested Sydney's attention span.
To keep her focused, they praised her profusely for her ability to draw circles. And so we drew a lot of circles. Big circles. Little circles. We went through about a dozen sheets of paper, front and back, and at last they felt they had a good selection from which to choose.
A short time after we got home, guess what Sydney wanted to do.
"I draw circles!" she announced, helping herself to AJ's new markers and pad of paper.
She didn't stop there.
"I draw big GIANT circles!" she excitedly told me. "I draw purple circles and green ones!"
Thank goodness circles can be such fun!
