  Jonah was hired again , by Frontgate for their May/June 2007 issue. You may remember my post where he was in the catalog for a children’s Christmas tree and the post when the Christmas catalog arrived with this photo.  Jonah is a real little professional in front of the camera. He really amazes me how much he just gets right in there and does what they are expecting of him, the photographers were very nice with Jonah, I enjoyed overhearing their conversations with him, he just talks to them so matter of fact and asks some good questions. I just stay out of the way and let them do their thing.  Jonah had to work with other actors for the second shot. He had a pretend mom and a pretend dad on the set and there was a 12 year old girl actress there, who is also Orthodox, Jonah and her were not in the same shots, though. She and her dad drove 2 hours, from Kentucky, for the job.  Jonah had two shots, we were at the house from 10-3, quite a long workday for a 6 year old. He passed the time, between shots, watching TV and playing with the homeowners 4 year old daughter, enjoying their basement and becoming comfortable with dogs. Jonah was scared of the dogs but once we learned the first shot would involved him walking the dog, he had to warm up, real quick!  The photographers were very pleased with the Christmas pictures and were happy to have him back. I think Jonah enjoys the food on set, the most. He also had his make-up done by the make-up artist, I didn’t get a picture of him sitting in the make-up chair, but it only involved a little powder and some lip gloss. Our agent called  the evening before the shoot to tell us about the job and we had to come with boots and a raincoat by 10 am. We had to hustle to buy some boots and a raincoat, in the color they wanted, all our things are packed for our big move. It was a very nice experience and as you can see from the photos, Jonah really enjoys it and seems to be very comfortable and in his element.
