Cassia and I had a fun photo shoot while Jason was away at Junior High Camp last weekend... it was an attempt to get a passport photo for her.
Now, this is a relatively simple task for the average adult, or even child who can hold still for ten seconds, but not for a 5 week old.
Stringent US passport standards require that the photo is taken front on, eyes open, mouth closed and with a 'natural' expression... oh, and you cannot have anything other than the person in the photo, so no hands holding her still, or pillows wedging her up!
Needless to say I was very thankful to find a website that allows you to upload a digital photo and they crop it to the right size so you can print it yourself... I cannot imagine taking Cassia somewhere and trying to get this photo done.
It took 3 separate attempts and 98 (I am not exaggerating) photos until we got one that would fit the specifications.
Now, long story short, this website is pretty awesome, because not only is it much cheaper to do it yourself (19cents to print yourself, $8 at the pharmacy) but you also get to pick a pose and picture that you like! So to any friends who are needing passport photos (they do American and Australian ones as well as 58 other countries) check out the site (click here).
Here are our final shots!
