Yesterday was the worse day ever!!!!!!!!
It was nothing like I thought it would be
There were so many people around and Andrew looked so scared. At one point they told me to keep talikng to him so he knew I was there and he was looking around and couldn't find me and started getting so upset. It broke my heart
I am not sure this business is for me. Plus, they changed it from the bouncer to a new FP swing & glide coming out. It is really nice but really girly and he was way too big for it. I doubt they will even use the picture. At least we got paid but I feel like I traumatized Andrew. All I wanted to do was hold him and get him out of there.
Another thing, they put makeup on him. Foundation and blush Now he has a reaction on his face.
I am really considering not doing this anymore. The agency told me to think hard before I stop. At least I can say I tried it.
Who am I really doing this for? Him? I don't think so Who really cares down the line anyway

I'm sorry you had such a horrible day!  I can't imagine what it's like. I know that I couldn't do it with my kids. Maybe give it one more shot?

sorry it didn't go well - I can imagine you have to REALLY want this in order to deal with the headaches....the travel, the waiting, etc. I am sorry it was upsetting to him Put that check in his bank acct - at least something good came out of it

I would try it a few more times before giving up. It could have just been a bad shoot.

I'm sorry it didn't go well! If you thought he looked traumatized- I guess you would have to decide if it's worth it to you. Unfortunately- no one can make that decision for you- you have to go with what feels right for you and your son. Good luck!

I am sorry it was such a bad day. If it were me I would probably try one more time hoping this was just a fluke. Good luck! Either way your baby is a star!!!

Re: Yesterday was the worse day ever!!!!!!!!
I am so sorry that it didn't go well. Your experience is precisely the reason why DH and I decided not to get Christopher into modeling. It seemed like it would be much more of a headache than a fun thing. I'm sure every experience won't be the same for you, so think carefully before you give it up. Good luck with your decision

I agree. Try it at LEAST one more time to see how it goes.

Re: Yesterday was the worse day ever!!!!!!!!
I am soooo sorry you had a bad experience and I agree, maybe give it ONE more try.
Just to give you a perspective from someone on this side. Unfortunately, your son is a tool to help sell a product. There is a lot of time and money spent on setting these things up and no matter how "set" they are, they ALWAYS change and you have to deal with it in their eyes. There isn't much compassion when money is involved, which is why when you look at some pics in catalogues and magazine, babies don't always look entirely happy or comfortable.
However, if Andrew (and you) can get comfortable in these settings (and many babies/parents do) there is A LOT of money to be made. This business is very small, and if one casting agent likes you, there are many jobs to be called on because the same people work over and over again on different shoots and cast who they want and like.
I personally thought super long and hard when DH and people tried to get me to have Bella get involved, and I am still not saying I will never do it. But it is a commitment, and I just couldn't. Some of it can be sooo easy and some of it can be like your day yesterday.
Many hugs and I hope that Andrew's pic does make it.
