This was such a sweet time during our session with the two boys. Andrew picked up his Fisher-Price camera and began to set up his shot. First, he gave the bear some love, then he showed him his perky brown nose on the screen and then walked away triumphantly – confident he had the shot he needed.
His Dad and I joked that I need to charge him studio rental. I already have this popped into a 4×10 frame – priceless!
Presenting four of the cutest kids that I have photographed in the past two weeks – I know, I’m pretty slow at getting them blogged. First comes Morgan who is showing off her special three-year-old purple dress for us.
Morgan is Three
The next image is of this beautiful boy, Jacob, who I’ve seen throughout his first year with the Cuter Every Day package – lucky me!
Next, we have Jacob’s big brother, Andrew, and those gorgeous dimples. Tomorrow I’ll post the series of photos that I took of him setting up HIS “shot” with a bear and his Fisher-Price camera – it was priceless.

And last, is my very own granddaughter, Paige, from her last weekend visit. Can you believe that hair? We made her a special bow to match the outfit.
Is your child America’s Cutest Kid?

Our youngest granddaughter, Erin, turned four last week with a party for 16 at the GymNest in Iowa City. I hope we always get some time alone to do a special birthday photo session together like this in her very own room.
