Chunky cheeks are always so cute in kids! This little sweetheart has the cutest no-tooth smile and pinch-able cheeks! I love getting hugs from her when I see her and am grateful for the opportunity to capture her charm. Art doesn't necessarily last forever, but it is definitely the gift the "keeps on giving".

Sometimes I take pictures of the process nearly every step of the way. It's funny how many face lifts one figure can get. Noses can move, eyes can get lifted, mouths can completely change expression. I love that moment when I can sit back and say, "Ah, now there she is!"
