Emma's 1st modeling job

Child modeling is a BIG deal here in Korea- specifically if you are white and look American. I have no idea why all the Korean children's clothing catalogues want little American children- I think its hiliarious to see foreigners on all the billboards and catalogues!
Jackson has modeled three times, and recently Emma had her first ever modeling job! It was so much fun!
We were picked up by the agency at 8:30 this morning and we drove about an hour south of Seoul. High in the rural hills, in a housing neighborhood that looked oddly American, was a house that had been turned into an AMAZING photo studio. Every nook of this house was designed and decorated with a photographer in mind. I think the house is for rent by modeling agencies and photographers to use for shoots- specifically with children.
Our first stop was a beauty salon to get the girls' hair done for the shoot.

The clothing designer was on the set for the shoot. I don't have a link to the company website yet- but her clothes are beautifully handmade dresses and outfits with lots of ruffles and embrodiery and color and high attention to detail. Very unique from a lot of the clothes I have seen.

Emma was suppose to be covering her ears as if the music her friend was playing was horrible. She loved doing this!

They mostly just had the girls do their own thing! The girls interacted with one another, and maybe every once in awhile they would ask one of them to look a certain way or do a certain thing, but mostly they just let them have fun!

This dress is representing Little Red Riding Hood. It has the wolf, grandma, the girl and tree and some other elements stitched on. So well crafted.

Then we headed upstairs to a larger room with many different set ups.

Emma had fun, and was well behaved. She got a little punchy towards the end- but that was probably because the shoot went later than expected and they didnt have real food for us (lollipops and pastries only!).
This company is an Online Clothing boutique called Pudding Mom and you can see Emma's pictures on their website HERE!
