Behind the Scenes of a Red Nose Kids Cuts Photo Shoot

My cousins are opening a children's hair salon here on Sydney's Northern Beaches. And they asked us if our children would be on their advertising materials (given how cute and adorable they are).

So a few weeks ago we set about taking some photos of the kids after Kelly had done their hair. Now what's that saying...never work with children or animals? It should definitely say never work with multiple children at the one time - especially when they are your own!

There was the poking of the baby by the 2 year old (and general slumping of the 4 year old)...

Then there was more poking of the baby by the 2 year old...

Then there was that dreaded moment when I heard myself say, "Now just smile".... (I think Kyah looks as appalled as I was when I said that)

Never tell children to smile!

So we decided to divide and conquer...yeah right.

We started with the 4 year old, thinking he would be a good role model for the younger two, but he was a reluctant participant...

At one stage he even fiend sleep...

Then there was the 2 year old. He pretended he had no bones in his body and couldn't sit up...

Then he sat up and gave us his best "smile"...

...and his best booger...

...and his best "I am so shy" face.

Even the baby, who really was the star, was more fascinated with her hands than with the camera most of the time...

But in the end we did get some cute photos! And now Red Nose KIDS CUTS is opening on October 14th! And they have some super cute advertising materials too!!

PLUS! They are offering free hair cuts until October 31st! So ring Kelly and book your child in for their free cut! There are novelty chairs, iPads to play and a coffee shop right in Fitness First for Mum, Dad, Grandma or Grandpa to grab a coffee whilst you wait!

And to make the deal even better, Red Nose KIDS CUTS have partnered with SIDS and Kids, helping to save babies lives!
