Day 2079 - Mumager Update

Time for a Mumager update.

One of the biggest hats I am wearing these days is that of Mumager. It's been slowly building for 18 months but the last three months have seen a huge increase in demand for my daughter in the modelling world. Don't get me wrong, she's not a super model just yet. But she has been touted as a "face to watch" which means quite a bit of interest from magazines, designers, photographers and labels. It's all very exciting. It's also very time consuming. It's all very important for her development.

Just in the last three weeks we've been to Sydney for a photo shoot, then a week later she was there for a fitting, then a casting call for Dolly Magazine and tomorrow we head back for a fashion show, a casting call for a clothing label on Friday and then an editorial photo shoot on Saturday.

You're probably wondering what's happened with school. Well, that's an interesting question.

The good news is that we've managed to work all of this around her assessments and (for now) she is fully keeping up with all of her classes. She's been doing a great job with her study at home and taking her laptop with her on these trips to continue with homework.

However, part of the Mumager role is to coordinate all activities including liaising with the school. I'm all for helping people achieve their dreams but school is still the number one priority for my kids. I have a meeting with her school coordinators next week.

It's all a balancing act.

And that's what being a Mumager is all about.

Here are some portfolio pictures from a recent shoot in Sydney.
