my puppy is a model!

yesterday despite my skin condition i had to go out, yes i know it was brave of me!lol because it was the photo shoot day of my puppies for a pet shop's magazine, the same pet shop i used to work for as a frontline/pet consultant. had i known we were actually considered i should have been more prepared for it, i was only informed a day before (sunday). so we or should i say i was so freaked out since i had no idea how i was going to face the world with a face that is under construction, peeling and patchy red here and there. so i just put on my brave face placed the puppies in their carrier and just told myself it would be so nice to see them at a magazine. i was somewhat concerned about how the puppies would react to the outdoor environment since it;s their first time ever to get out of the house. they did kinda well actually except they felt a bit hot even if we took the cab to and from the location. i also felt that they enjoyed seeing a lot of people and other puppies, there were kittens too. the shoot was set up on a table the puppies and kittens were placed together in a laundry basket sleeping and relaxing. it was so cute! and as my puppies are shihtzu's they love to jump around,play and explore so after how many camera shots my puppy was too excited to stay still so they had to swap my two puppies whenever one was getting fuzzy.

 all of them did really well! they were all so adorable!
i loved how small the mini poodle puppy was she was so tiny!

we got these freebies for taking part, towels, reusable bag, magazines and oh yeah and some gift cards too :)
it was fun doing this and it was also our first time. i can only imagine how much the real model dogs are making from magazines they must really be trained to project on camera.

picture time!

earlier today i went to the mall to get myself a whole body picture. i need to use it when applying at airline companies. there's a lot of choices when it comes to picking a store to take your picture but one came to mind because i keep seeing the photo's displayed at the mall and they're all so perfect. i chose great image and i didn't regret going there. the branch i went to was at sm cubao facing ali mall. at first i was thinking hmm this must be expensive cause the photo's all look so well. when i inquired about the whole body photo the lady said they have it in 8pcs i think you only need those when the recruiters ask for it? i just needed one for ipams. so i asked if they do one photo only or does it have to be a set of 8 and she said yes it was for just 300+  psos if one photo only. it's my first time to do this whole body photo thing so i didn't know if the lady was just giving me sales talk with the 8pcs of photos needed for 800+ pesos or if i'll just need one photo for 300+ pesos. i just took the one whole body photo and told them i'll just recopy if needed. so i went ahead and did some retouching, changed shoes and wore my blazer. then the photographer asks me what airline is it for so that they can adjust the background. i was surprised that they knew a lot about taking photo's for FA aspirants she even told me how to pose and how to project. a lot of customers have been to their shop for whole body shots that's why the lady photographer knows so much. she even said that the airline guidelines for photos were also given to them that's why they asks customers what airline it is for so that they can check the details needed on the airline photo guideline.
after the shoot all the photo's taken were showed to me at the computer and i had to choose which one i liked the most so that was what they were going to print. after picking a photo they gave me 3 hours to wait for the photo's to be ready (yes i know, for a kinda high end shop i too was surprised it would take them that long to edit&print) so i went to the mall and had lunch.
after 3 hours i came back to pick up the photo and it was perfect! no regrets on this one.

tada! so there you go, my first whole body picture!
if by chance i'll need more i'll surely get the set of 8 i think it would have been cheaper i was just not sure if i'll have any use for all 8 pictures right now.
great image! great job!
