1. What was it like shooting with Elizabeth Pettey?

It was so exciting! I was a little nervous when I first got there but when I was getting my make up on it made me smile and made me happy! It was a lot of fun to work with Elizabeth! She was really nice too!! She did a lot of funny things to make me smile too! I had fun with all the outfit changes also!

I also did two photoshoot a for www.kidsshoes.com that Elizabeth was the photographer for. Those were so much fun! We got to take a lot of pictures and I really like that! The last photoshoot we did I didn’t want it to end! I asked her if we could keep going because it was so much fun and I really like working with her on projects!

2. What was your shoot for Posh Kids Magazine like?

I really liked it knowing that it was going to be in a magazine. I had a lot of fun shooting and playing with the other girls on the set. We got to jump on the bed! They even gave us some popcorn. We got to wear really pretty pajamas and play in different rooms of a big and beautiful hotel. It was so much fun!

3. How did you feel seeing yourself in the magazine?

I felt really excited! It was the first magazine I ever did and it was a really fun photoshoot. I was nervous a little because I didn’t know if other people were going see it and ask if it was me.

4. How did you enjoy getting to work with your mom on Madam Secretary?

Oh, I enjoyed it a LOT! I was so happy to be able to work with my mom. It was the first thing I got to do with my mommy and we had a lot of fun doing it together.

5. What was it like meeting Tea Leoni?

Oh My Gosh it was so fun! And it was also exciting to see her because she’s on a TV show and she was the first person I got to work with and take a picture with who is on TV. I also got to shake hands with and talk to Morgan Freeman and he was really really nice!

6. How do you like walking the runway?

Oh I loved it! It was really fun! It was a little scary at first because, well, there were a lot of people watching. At the end I wasn’t nervous anymore because I got to walk with all of the other girls and Nikki, the singer who was there. I made a lot of new friends and had a lot of fun getting my hair and makeup done!! Oh I loved the dress I got to wear so much because the dress was so sparkles! It looked like a beautiful fairy dress and it was pink – one of my favorite colors!!

7. Outside of walking the runway, what was the best part of your day at the Posh Kids Fashion Carnival?

I really liked getting my hair and makeup done, getting to wear a beautiful dress and meeting Nikki but my favorite part was getting to meet the other girls- Emersyn and Lia!

8. How do you prepare for an audition?

I prepare by picking out an outfit (or two) that would be appropriate for the audition or job I’m trying to get. I make sure my mom or dad have my head shot and resume ready. For the auditions I have lines for I prepare by reading my lines and practicing with my parents or brothers beforehand.

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

I really love working with Elizabeth! I also had fun with Stella and Sarah too. I worked with Maddie on a photoshoot and we had a lot of fun being silly!

10. What has been your favorite project to work on and why?

My favorite project to work on was any of the ones with Elizabeth! I get to do a lot of fun stuff ! We get to wear pretty clothes and shoes and take a lot of fun pictures! Elizabeth is a lot of fun to play with too!
