NIKON Shoot in Tokyo

Playing with a Bear Face
They Found a Water Hose
Completely Soaked
Taking a Break with her DS

Caitlin was asked to do a shoot for Nikon.. This will not be print work, they were using these 3 girls to test 2 different cameras. How they did action shots and different functions on the cameras. She had fun, the Studio was a larger house in Tokyo, very gorgeous with some interesting features. The girls played hide and seek and when in the back yard found a house. Needless to say my daughter decided she wanted to get wet, so she was completely soaked by the time they wanted to shoot more in the house. Luckily we brought extra clothes.

I was commissioned on an order for Thank You cards for Housekeeping appreciation week. I have been racking my brain for a week on the cards.. At first they started out very juvenile, I think I have finally moved on from juvenile to sophisticated.. I am however going to change all of the hand written tags to computer generated "Thank You" 's as my handwriting is not the best in the world..
