Model career, second attempt
At that age, it was clear that the girls, being older, were more than capable of expressing their opinions. So the time had come to try again. At the same time, one of Jaqi’s neighbors had just opened a children’s boutique and needed some models. And guess what? The girls tried out and got the job! Jaqi said how she wanted to help the local business: “Besides, I needed some new photos to get an agent for them, so I thought it would be a great opportunity for all of us,” she says.
Trying Again
Starting slowly
The girls were so young, after all, so Jaqi wanted to take things slowly. Seeing them wearing a lot of make-up and wearing a collection of very attractive designer clothes all the time could interfere in a detrimental way with their development. Jaqi made a point of taking control of the situation from the start. She would do things the right way, her way, with heart and mother’s intuition. “I took my 10-year-old Nikon camera out of a dumpster in the garage, put some waves in the girls’ hair, applied some blush and we went out to take some pictures,” the mother says.
One step at a time
