Modeling Shoot #10 and #2 Minkmui
Today Morgan had a modeling shoot.
The little boy modeling with her didn't fit in any of the clothes. He was too big. So J got to do his second shoot with Morgan.
I'm SO glad they got to model together before we left the country. The photographer asked me how much longer we'd be in Korea, and when I told him he was disapointed. I think he liked the kids. This is the 4th time Morgan has modeled for this company with this photographer.
The kids were pretty good. I think Morgan is getting sick of modeling. Its picked up so much lately and she's just getting impatient with all the mumbo jumbo. I can't say I'll be disapointed when we're done with it. Its given the kids a good start on their bank accounts, but sometimes I wonder if its worth the money to them.

Modeling Shoot #9 Dear Baby
Another horrible modeling shoot. Winter clothes in the heat of a humid Korean summer makes for some crabby kids. But I think they got some good pictures anyway.

Modeling Shoot #8 DAKS Kids
Morgan was really good at her modeling shoot today. They were modeling winter clothes outside in the 85 degree 98% humidity weather. The other 2 kids didn't do so well, we sat around waiting for a LONG time. But I was pleasently surprised and happy that Morgan was better than usual.
I have no idea why they made her hair so frizzy, it would have been much cuter if they had left it in its non-frizzy wringlet curls.
Taking a break and finding some shade.
Just a shot of the designer and hairdresser fidgeting with Morgan. You wouldn't believe the amount of work that goes into getting one good picture.
Another shot of everyone working so hard to get the perfect shot. Photographer, light guy, designer, modeling agent/entertainer.
On the way home. If you look closely you can see her drool running down her chin and onto the straps of her carseat. Boy, she's just like her dad ;)

Morgan Modeling Shoot #6-Minkmui
All I can say about this photo shoot is that it was a nightmare! No, worse than a nightmare! I was ready to say forget it, she's done, no more!!!
Here, she was supposed to put her hands on her cheeks in a "thoughtful" manner.
And here, she was supposed to do exaclty what she's doing.
The issue with this photographer was the same this time as it was last time. He wants a very specific pose and he doesn't snap the picture until Morgan does exaclty what he wants her to do. Most photographers just snap, snap, snap, snap, a thousand times and usually there is at least one good picture out of the ones they snapped. But no, this photographer is very particular. Luckily, everything ended on a good note. They gave her a really long lunch/play break and when we went back at it she was very good.
Here, she was supposed to hold one of those hearts directly out in front of her, but her hand couldn't cover the heart, she had to be holding it by the very edge.

Answers About Modeling
People keep asking me how I got my kids into modeling and how they can do the same for their kids. So I'm going to give an answer here. I'd like to say its because they are pretty much the cutest kids in the world, but alas, it is not so. While they are pretty stinkin' adorable, the truth is, I got them into modeling by moving to Korea. Seriously, if you want your kids to model there's only 3 things they need...
1. They need a full head of hair
2. Girls preferably with curls, and
3. You need to live in Korea
The first month we were here we were aproached by a Korean woman in the food court at Yongsan. She asked if she could take pictures of Morgan because she was so cute. American kids get that a LOT from Koreans. So I let her. Then she handed me a business card and said she was a modeling agent and asked from my phone number. A few months later she called me and asked if Morgan could model. And thats how it all began.
Then, one day last week we ran into Morgan's agent in the parking lot at the PX. She came over to say hi and Jackson totally worked her over with his smiles and giggles. She was amazed at how happy and smiley he was, so she took his picture and called me a week later for his first shoot.
So in all reality, I didn't do anything to get my kids into modeling (except get knocked up, 9 months of pregnancy, and a total of about 20 hours of labor...oh, and moved to the other side of the world).
There are a TON of American children that model here. I've heard its because Korean's just think American children are cute. I've also heard that Korea is becoming more Westernized, so the clothing companies use American children to model so the product will sell better. Its very unlikely that our children would be able to model in the states, even though they are amazingly adorable :) In the states there is a lot more competition, so I think your children would have to be exceptionally beautiful to land a modeling job. I've also heard that you have to pay for modeling/acting classes and an agent to actually find them jobs. Here, we don't pay the agents, they pay us. They find the jobs first and then the kids to fill them.
So, I hope that answers everyone's questions. I honestly don't have any clue how to go about it in the States. Everything is very different in Korea. And they do pay us, because it is hard work (more so for the parents, the kids just play and eat candy all day). Morgan enjoys it, except for getting her hair and makeup done. But she's getting used to it. She likes taking clothes off and putting new ones on and she likes playing with other kids, drawing, eating candy, playing with puppies, and everything else she gets to do.

Jackson Modeling Shoot #1-Allo & Lugh
No, I didn't accidently post the wrong pictures. This little girl actually is Jackson. He looked just like Morgan did at that age! I actually called him Morgan once. I hope he can forgive me for this someday, but he made one pretty little girl!
This picture especially looks like Morgan.
Uh oh, I think he just realized he's wearing girl clothes.
Yay, now I'm in boy clothes!!!
I think this was his favorite pose. He was so tired, he just about feel asleep here.
My favorite

Modeling with a baby was 100 times easier than modeling with a toddler! And he did so good, dispite the fact that it was naptime!

She's a Real Model!!!
These are pictures of Morgan's Alfonso modeling shoot. They are pictures from the online catalog! They turned out super cute!
My friend, Amber, found the Basic Elle website for me. Basic Elle is another brand that Morgan modeled for. Go to THIS website, you will see her right away. Click on BRAND, then STYLE and browse through the pictures. I think there is 3 pictures of her. You have to temporarily allow pop ups.

Modeling Shoot #5 Minkmui
February 3, 2010
This was a rough shoot. Morgan's normal agent wasn't there. Her assistant was, and she isn't very good with kids. She kept flashing candy at them and saying "you have candy after you take pictures". Unfortunately, neither Morgan nor Apaulo understood this very well and it just upset them. It didn't help that the shoot took place right during naptime. She only did 2 outfits this time.
For some reason they thought they'd come her hair to the opposite side that it naturally falls. It didn't stay too well, which was frustrating to everyone. Sometimes I wish they'd just let me do her hair.
Fixing her hair for the 100th time.
By this time Morgan was not cooperating at all, so I was doing all the work of trying to get her to smile and pose, etc. So this is the only pic I got of this outfit.
