A Peek at Hannah’s First Commercial May 2, 2011
Posted by Emily in : Princess Hannah , trackbackHello.
I’m alive. Barely.
OK, so I exaggerate.
The truth is, I’ve been suffering from Acute Bronchitis for almost THREE weeks. That is three weeks of my life I would like to get back! I feel like I’m coughing up all of my innards about 1000 times a day.
It sucks.
This sickness comes with the added benefit of not sleeping well.
People, the only time you should not sleep will is when you have a newborn. Clearly, that is not the case around here.
Basically, that means I have been running on fumes for a few weeks. (School doesn’t stop for sickness. I’ve had several shoots for clients that can’t be rescheduled, and unfortunately, weddings still go on even when the photographer is sick.) I am BEYOND ready to be DONE with this disease!
To top it off, I am an expert cougher. In past years, I’ve broken two of my ribs TWICE from coughing too aggressively. I blame Bronchitis for both of those casualties. I am a hazard to myself . . . this nastiness must DISAPPEAR!
In more exciting news . . .
Hannah filmed her first commercial this week. I don’t know much about the product, but it is about “potty training.” I was super sick when she shot this last week, so can I just say how happy I was to realize that child labor laws applied to us? Yes, after five hours of being on set, we were done. Hannah worked for about 1.5 hours, and played the rest of the time. It’s nice to have your child get paid for something they would do anyway.
Here is a peek at her shoot:
She got to color which she was super excited about. (She colors 3+ hours a day at home.)
See this here? She played with toys with her new friends while they waited for their turn to be filmed.
(No worries, she has a nude colored leotard on underneath her dress!)
At the end of the day, we ended up hanging out at the “jumping water” at The Gateway, and we were both thrilled because she got to run in the water and I got some books at Barnes and Noble right across the way.
It was a lovely day.

She seems perfect for TV!
Hope you feel better soon. Boo.
Go Hannah super star!
You didn’t really say how she did? Did she listen well? Question? Perform perfectly? Did she have any lines?? More details!!
And I certainly hope you feel better soon. I wish I lived closer, I’d have the kids over to play and give you time to rest…..
Hugs.

Rebecca,
Hannah was a hoot! She listened well as they directed her. She didn’t have any lines, but she improvised on the acting part and everyone was laughing! I think they are going to use some of the footage where they filmed her doing her own thing! I can’t wait to see it!
