So… remember last fall when I told you a director contacted me to be in a commercial? After filming the commercial, he recommended that I sign up with a talent agency since he’d like to work with me in the future, and it’s much easier if I’m with an agency. So I followed his advice and signed up with a talent agency. Whew, there, I said it!
(I’ve done some photo shoots for photographers here and there and some stock photos before this, but I never considered it “modeling” really.)
I’ve only told my immediate family and two of my closest friends(until now), and I don’t know why but I get really really embarrassed and awkward telling people about it! But it’s a small part of me now and since this is a blog that documents my life, here it is. So don’t ask me about it in real life, I’ll get super red and super awkward okay?
Here are some stuff I got to work on.
I worked for Jo Totes, a camera bag company.

And I was in a fitness commercial for UltraFlex. This was back in October 2011. So yes, it’s taken me this long to not be as embarrassed to share it.
(I’m in the very beginning and then 3:13 and on)
Do you like my adorable Hispanic son? 😉 I wish he was really mine, I fell in love with him!
And a really embarrassing story while filming this commercial… so while I was saying my lines that I had memorized, one of the directors asked me to try saying my own testimonial without a script, so while I’m grasping the Ultraflex in the mid-air, I said, “One thing I love about ultraflex is that it’s so long and skinny that once you’re done using it, you just put it in the corner of the wall and no one will even see it!” Now, this was an all-men crew, and I was the only girl(the other ladies filmed the next day), and they all bust out laughing and couldn’t seem to control it! I kept saying to them, “What? Why are you guys laughing? What’s so funny? Tell me!” But they wouldn’t. And after they got some composure, we resumed back to filming. It wasn’t until we were done filming and I was driving back home by myself that I finally got it! I was so embarrassed and kept saying to myself, “Oh my gosh! Darn it!!! Why did I say that, oh my gosh, how embarrassing!!!”
So there you have it. Fortunately(and obviously), they didn’t use that clip in the video. That could be used for another kind of commercial if you know what I mean. Eh hem.
Anyway, I’ve done a couple more stuff that I’ll share with you later when I get the photos.
Okay, that’s it, bye.
YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!!! SO super cool, Sarah!!!
Oh my gosh, I LOVE this!! Sarah, you're amazing! haha and I totally laughed after I re-read what you said on the ultraflex shoot…at least those guys got a good laugh that day. 🙂
That's so awesome!!! Those pictures are so pretty and your commercial is awesome! Great job!
OMG! THat is so awesome! I love JO Totes–have always wanted one of their camera bags! ANd your commercial story is too cute. Don't be embarrassed–its you. Real & raw! Love it!
that's the cutest story ever. And you look beautiful in your modeling photos! Don't be embarrassed, you're lovely!
wow you are so brave to share that haha i love it! and feel like I know you a little more 🙂
Not bad, not bad at all. Actually, this is really cool!
So do you find the ultra flex to be really truly useful and worthwhile? It looks like one of those gimmicks that just costs a lot and does nothing.
Congrats!! You look gorgeous and I am lusting those black and white shoes!
That is so cool! Can't wait to see more! I love the shoes in the first few pictures too!
ur so prtty! and love the bags… and funny story!
They gave me one to use but I've used it only once, so I can't really tell you much haha. But it's a good equipment and it's very sturdy, good material. I really liked it a lot while shooting and I had to do some of the exercises. My arms and legs got sore for sure!
LOL…That is truly funny, I bet your hubby had a chuckle.
VERY cool Sarah! Good luck on all of this in the future!! 🙂
Own it! You are beautiful, this modeling stuff is a no-brainer if you ask me! Ha, great stories! 🙂 Keep them coming!

LOL. i loved it sarah! especially the part where you are bending your legs up and down while preparing juice for your son.
p.s. you shouldn't be embarassed- this is something to be proud of!
That's so awesome, but i can see how you might feel awkward. Cute brown bag though!
I'm glad you understand why I feel awkward. 🙂 Thanks for your comment!
It's called multitasking, I do that same exact thing everyday, making juice while bending my legs. 😀 I miss you! I love getting comments from you, Janie!
