Sand Dollars

Life is definitely happening faster than I can write about it. But long story short, Justin Alexander got called for another gig last week: a photo shoot for the Dollar Tree circular.  Yes, he got paid to play in the sand. This was definitely his best shoot yet given that he got to just "be himself", rather than being expected to pose as if he wasn't the unpredictable toddler that he is. With their lack of patience and bizarre expectations, you'd think some of these photographers / A&R reps have never worked with kids before (though I will say that the Dollar Tree staff was the best so far). It was also his first gig where he got to interact with other kids, which worked out great for him. Anyway, as of now, Justin can officially put "swimsuit model" down on his resume; which I think is hilarious. More details to come (or maybe not...) but I at least wanted to post the photos now for the sake of documentation. Check him out signing his contract work.

I like how the kids are paying the adults no mind! They are true pros:) Especially Justin.

Phyllis, you're absolutely right about them paying the adults no mind. So much so, that at first the kids had shovels and the crew had to take them away because they wouldn't look at the camera. They were just shoveling away. Then they had to take away the bucket because they were still having "too much fun"... but then the kids just started throwing the sand all over the place... and we were like, what are you going to do, take away the sand?! It was hilarious. A mind of their own.
