Let the voting began...

It's not going to be easy to judge this contest, I'm glad you're doing it and not me. They are all so adorable! Please remember this is a "Cutest" contest, not a photography contest and judge the kids accordingly. The name of the child your voting on is UNDER their picture. You will be able to vote for 3 days, and the winner will be announced afterwards.
I would like to say "Thank You" to all who responded so quickly to this contest. I had to extend the number of participants and change the age groups around to accommodate everyone. I appreciate everyone being so flexible with the changes made.

Prima Ballerina

I had a great time photographing this beautiful ballerina.

I wish that we had more time, and outfit changes! She was quite the model! I am looking forward to photographing her for years to come!

Mirror Mirror on the wall, who is the cutest of them all???

I love when a session goes so well that I have a hard time picking my favorites! This is the second time I have worked with this family, and I hope it becomes a tradition! They were so much fun, and incredibly easy to photograph. The grandmother will be taking the photo's all they way back to Hong Kong, I sure hope they make her a little less homesick!

When you look at family pictures, you don't think about how you spent all day looking for something to wear only to find something that was just okay. You don't dewell on what a pain it was to talk your dad into coming. You don't remember that your hair wouldn't cooperate. You simply stand in awe of all of the blessings looking back at you. This family has been a blessing to me in more way than I can count. I am so thankful that we took the time make these memories. I hope they mean as much to you, as they do to me!
