Lights, Camera, Action...

I have so much to catch up on here in Blogland but all of our Christmas fun will be in another post. This post is about the whirlwind week my kids and I have had.

Since moving to ATL last April the kids have been on several auditions and they have had their pictures and info submitted for several things that come up. Well, this week they were both asked to audition for a print shoot and a commercial that Children's Healthcare Center of ATL was filming for a campaign they have coming up. The audition was Tuesday and while we were there the casting people asked me to get up there and audition for the mom role with Camden. I was surprised on Wed when I got a call asking for Camden and I to do the print shoot and commercial on Thurs and Fri. By Wed night though the director and ad people decided to go a different route but to continue to hold Fri open for the commercial.

Thursday afternoon my phone rang and it was the casting people, the girl they decided to use freaked out in front of the camera and they wanted Grace as soon as we could get there. Off to school I went and got the kids and headed into ATL. Once there Grace did AWESOME, they loved her so much they decided to use her for the commercial, meaning Camden didn't get to do it :( He handled it pretty well, already trying to get a manager fee out of Grace.

Today for the commercial shoot she did AWESOME again, right up there in the camera and got her line done in basically 1 take...what a natural!!

This ad will only be shown in the south Georgia area so no one we know in ATL or in NC or FL will be able to see it and I believe the billboards and print ads will only be seen down there too. We will be able to get some pics from the photographer in a few weeks so we can start a portfolio for her. I am so proud of the DIVA!!
