Point Casino Photo Shoot: Day 1 & 2


Recently I've been doing a little modeling for fun but mostly because I have time to do it! It's been great so far and this week I was asked to do a photo shoot for a casino re-branding. I hopped on the ferry from Seattle and headed west to Bremerton.

Call time was 9:30pm. The models got situated in the back room, got our outfits finalized and waited around while everyone got their hair and makeup done.

Then the real work began! We popped in and out of the casino for the rest of the night, each time in a different outfit and working in a different part of the casino. I'm sure the local gamblers were getting annoyed with the constant flashes of bright lights used on our set. Well, hopefully they weren't too annoyed!

In the Boom Room
We worked until the early morning and by the time 4:30 came around and it was time to go back to the hotel, the sun was slowing rising. So we all scuttled off to bed, exhausted but too wired to sleep. Eventually I drifted off.

That afternoon I woke up around noon. Vada & I went to coffee and relaxed before another night of shooting. We headed back to the casino at 8:00pm. After the usual hair and makeup and wardrobe, it was off to the buffet for some shots with the chocolate fountain!

Killing time on set
After another quick change, it was off to the cigar lounge. This was an especially tricky scene only because the room was so small and everyone had to keep taking breaks to clear their head from the cigar smoke!

After the cigar room it was off to the poker table.

Ready for Poker
With our shades on and our poker faces set, we finished up the shoot.

We left the casino at 4:00am and headed straight to bed.
Next morning I headed back to Seattle on the ferry. The last few nights were such a blur, I didn't even know what day it was!

Heading Home
It was a great mini-holiday away from reality, and I met some fantastic people. Hopefully the next job I do they'll be there too! Xx
