Kayla on the Runway

Kayla recently had the opportunity to be in a fashion show - and this is something she wouldn't ever pass up. Have I mentioned that she loves being on stage?! She does not get that from me. I don't think she knows the feeling of being self-conscious!

Ashley DeRamus has an online fashion boutique - Ashley by Design, and a foundation - Ashley DeRamus Foundation; and she has Down syndrome.

She was a vendor at the Southern Women's Show Charleston and Kayla was one of the models for her runway show.

Here is the video of Kayla on the runway.

Here is a video montage of the event from Ashley's photographer.

Kayla had some fun other than being on the runway - she watched some firefighter's work the runway, too! Kayla and I walked around to see some of the other vendors at the show and circled back around to Ashley by Design. Kayla was told that Ashley was back at the stage getting ready to watch the firefighters do a fashion show and she made her way over to sit by Ashley to watch this show with her.

They actually did model some casual and formal wear before donning their uniforms! This show was part of a charity event - the firemen were raising money for the Ronald McDonald House. I had to get a few pictures of Kayla with them; mostly for my sister who is also a fireman!

Behind the Scenes

Here are some pictures from the Lowcountry Magazine Fashion Photo shoot that Kayla and Lucas participated in.

And a few from my cell phone...

 

Models in the Making

Kayla and Lucas participated in a back-to-school photo fashion shoot for the local parenting magazine - Lowcountry Parent. They had a fun time at the shoot and I think the pictures came out great! Hmm... maybe this could be the start of something new for them! Ha!

And I love this video clip that was put together from the photo shoot ... Kayla makes me smile with her dancing moves!


A picture of Kayla and one of the other girls was used in an article in the local paper - I love this picture of the two of them!
