Hunter's claim to snack fame...

Hey All,

I feel like I have been so busy lately that I have left this blog lacking of anything with much of a personal vibe, :) so I thought I'd at least go ahead and post these images of Hunter (my son, now 2 1/2) and his impact on the baby snack aisle at Target...

He shot this job (which he got through our local modeling agency for those of you who will ask) :) last fall, and lo-and-behold the product actually showed up on shelves this summer just as they said it would (it does not always work this smoothly, trust me). :)

So here he is, in all his glory, selling loads of mango-peach flavored toddler finger food and lovin' it...






(And yes, he does have kool-aid stains on his face, but apparently I was too tired to scrub it off before we shot these photos and too tired to retouch-it out of them now... Real life, enough said.) :)

Shannon :)

PS - For those of you who will inevitably ask how you can get your adorable child into modeling, please see our Model Integrity division at www.ModelIntegrity.com. Through Model Integrity, I hold workshops offering parents and teen/adult models perspective on modeling in the Twin Cities, help them avoid scams & save money, find a legit modeling agency in MN, and offer information on what steps to take next. While we don't have the next workshop date set right now, if you want to get on the mailing list, please email us at modelintegrity@juno.com and also subscribe to follow the Model Integrity blog. Rates for shooting model portfolios or doing comp cards are available under the fashion section of my main Feather Blue Studios site as well. :)
