Every kid's dream
You know that when you were little you had fantasies about having an entire hotel room just for you and your friends to ransack and destroy. (No? Just me?) Well, with the help of the stylist Katie Gaffney (who I worked on this with), these three kids were able to realize a true childhood dream. Katie e-mailed me a few weeks back about a photoshoot she wanted to do at a hotel with her three cousins. She laid out the entire plan for me and I knew it was going to be a blast. It was really a treat to break away from the "okay, now look FIERCE" thing for a bit and just have some fun.
The kids were so great to work with. I think it's been way too long since I've been around youngins, because I was absolutely shocked at how articulate and well-mannered these ones were. Like, what?? They can walk? And talk?? And boy could they ever. At one point, we decided to do a segment of the shoot in which they were making prank phone calls. Except that we wanted their expressions to be real, so we let them call people from our cellphone address books. They pretty much did the standard "is your refrigerator running" spiel, but it was hilarious nonetheless.
