*Boy Model Search*

I know you have all been waiting for my boy model search to begin. I am now ready to start accepting some boy models! I am going to split the ages for this search since it's going to be done much differently than my girls. My first search will be for boys ages 5-11. Now, I will not be providing clothing for these shoots but I am being very specific on the style that I am looking for. This does not mean that you need to go out and buy new clothes for the shoot - most of the styles can be put together by things you already have. If you have an idea for a style and aren't quite sure if it's what I'm looking for - please just take a photo of the outfit and email it to me. I'd love to see some different looks put together.

Here is one example of the style I am looking for:



I want funky layered clothing - things can be mismatched - it's the style now. I love blazers or suit jackets mixed with jeans. Some examples of jackets I like:
This particular brown curdoroy blazer was found at gap.com: http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=8634&pid=580823









This black pin-striped suit jacket was found at Walmart: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=8129979 It would look great with a t-shirt underneath and some dark washed jeans.








A Rocker T-shirt such as this one above found at Old Navy: http://www.oldnavy.com/browse/product.do?cid=41803&pid=577953&vid=1 would go great underneth a black jacket.



Vests such as the one above found at Old Navy: http://www.oldnavy.com/browse/product.do?cid=5978&pid=594532&scid=594532002 would also look great for this shoot.



I also love sweater vests (you can find almost anywhere) with a long sleeved button-up shirt - the shirt left untucked showing at the bottom of the vest.



I also would love hats for this shoot...Baseball hats turned to the side are always stylish as well as beanies. I also really love this hat below found at the Gap. http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=33830&pid=580091




I really like this #8 baseball hat from The Children's Place http://www.childrensplace.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10001&productId=481616&langId=-1&exp=n&catTree=26601,26693,26880&clearance=0



I am not too picky on the pants - I do like the washed look more than others. I'd prefer not to have them in tight jeans (I know that's becoming more and more the style) Loose-fitting jeans will go much better with the look I'm trying to acheive.

Hopefully this gives you an idea of what it is I am looking for. Again, should you have any further questions, please contact me.
