Hello my CuteKid fans,

I am soooo excited to surprise you with my new images from my last posted blog. I have three keywords to share with you to help achieve your goals: Unify. Clarify. Amplify. Let me walk you through the Jade Albert process…

Unify: to “define” my vision.
Subject: smile
Theme: Neon colored tape, bright playful dress-up
Style: Whimsical with a clever sense of humor

Clarify: to communicate my message to my dream team crew.

Preparation Recipe:
-    Shop for the ingredients or go into your closet (I used my clothes)
-    Grooming – Avoid the beauty pageant look. I only use a little blush and Chapstick for a healthy glow. Clean hair is a must and keep it simple.
-    The set – Clean, sparse. Let the sunshine in.

Remember it’s about the child’s persona that we are shaking and baking.

Amplify: to be proud to share and show your images with your audience – Family & Friends.
-    Edit with courage and confidence.
-    Add images to website – Post blog.
-    Have the kids send email cards and make scrapbooks.
-    Make a video.

Enjoy. Reflect your satisfaction.

I believe in reinventing myself. Updating, stretching and challenging myself to grow. I think of the metamorphosis as being similar to the changing seasons.

Summer time, Memorial Day to Labor Day, Fall, September, October and November and the Holidays straddle November, December and January when it all begins again.

This past month I assigned myself a photo shoot. Yep, once in a while I’ve got to stretch myself by working for me. I was my own client. I work for so many clients that I seldom have the opportunity to shoot just for me.

So I scheduled myself back into the studio with my favorite dream team crew. My “dream team crew” are the best! My playlist: a photo-tech, digital tech, wardrobe person, and grooming person. I even bring in my own music and a working lunch for all.

Then I started casting for models looking in all the right and normal places: Ford, Willy, Product, Generations and Funny Faces, all the biggies in the kids agency business. And of course I posted a casting call on TheCuteKid.com.

I was so delighted with the overwhelming response.

Thank you CuteKid moms, dad and kids for your enthusiasm and inspiration. You made it all work.

I invited three cute kids: sister and brother, Haley and Zachary, and Nicholas. This photo op wasn’t only a first for them, but a double treat for Haley and Zach as they had never been to New York City. Nicholas was also brand new entering a studio. We all felt the excitement.

Their hidden talent was beyond my expectations. It is just amazing how comfortable and professional these kids were in front of the camera. I am so very proud of them for their stamina and discipline maintained throughout their “magical model tour.” I totally believe there is a bright future for these kids.

My next blog will show you the “how to process” from “before and after.”
Please stay tuned and share these exciting “after” pictures with me.
