1. What was it like working for Amscan/Party City? and how awesome was it getting to be Anna?

I loooved working for Amscan/ Party City, it was so much fun wearing all the costumes. I got to dress up as Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Anna from Frozen which was one of my favorite movies. And I love Anna! It was so fun seeing my pictures on packages and on the Party City website. We bought the costumes so I could keep the packages 🙂

2. How did you react to seeing yourself in the Toys R Us Big Book?

The Big Book this year was awesome as I was one of the big pictures on the inside cover. It was also one of the first jobs that all my friends saw because they all get the big book. Everyone kept coming into school and telling me they saw me which was very fun.

3. Do you have a favorite outfit you’ve gotten to model for Stage Stores?

I have two favorite outfits for Stage Stores. One is the pretty white dress with soft fuzzy coat I wore when shooting with my friend Hope. The shoot has a Frozen theme and I told everyone that I was Olaf. My other favorite outfit is a spring outfit that will be coming out soon with super cool neon leggings.

4. What was your time on set like filming your Pfizer commercial?

Filming the Pfizer commercial was a super fun day and a late one. It was me and 5 other kids. We spent a lot of time playing, coloring and hanging out with my favorite wrangler Joyce. It was so fun to just get in front of the camera and chat away. Also, they gave us lots of candy which is my favorite.

5. What was the experience like walking the runway at petitePARADE?

Walking the runway is my absolute favorite modeling thing to do. I have walked in two Petite Parades so far for Imoga and I just absolutely love the experience, as hectic as it is. I can’t wait to walk my next fashion show.

6. How did you enjoy your shoot for Imoga?

I just love Imoga. I have shot for them 3 times now and they are just the nicest people and I absolutely love their clothes. Thanks to my Imoga shoots, I have met some of my best modeling friends. We always have the best time together. I am sad to be getting too tall to model for them. It’s been an amazing experience.

7. What is the best part of working for Oscar de la Renta?

The people at Oscar de la Renta are so awesome. They were so nice on my 4 day shoot. It was long hours and one day was outside in 96 degree weather but I had fun. The clothes are beautiful and everyone treated me like a princess!

8. How cool was it to get to work for Girl Guides?

Working for the Girl Scouts was fun. I wasn’t even in girl scouts yet when I did the shoot as I was still in pre k but my big sister Lizzie is in Girl Scouts and loves it and we all love the cookies. It was fun to see myself in the catalog that my troop leader got in the mail.

9. Who have been some of your favorite people to work with this past year?

My favorite people to work with this year are my Imoga Girls as we call each other, Athena, Samantha, Emma, Nika, Harper, Amaya, Nicolette, Maddie and Biz. Also I always love working with my favorite wrangler Joyce, I got to work with her at Stage, Toys r us and for my Pfizer commercial. And I also love photographer Dennis Horan, he is so, so funny! I had a great time working with him at Stage and for the Big Book.

10. What has been your favorite project to work on this past year?

My most fun project this year is so hard to choose, I have been so lucky and had so many great experiences. But probably the best shoot was my shoot for QNasl. I was the only kid on set with my pretend Mom and there were kittens! Everyone really treated me so nicely and made me feel like a star. And at the end of the shoot they gave me so many toys and gifts to take home. I have been so blessed to work with so many fantastic people this year and am looking forward to more great experiences this year!

 

We’d like to thank Caroline for participating in this year’s February Q&A Event!
