My inlaws have silhouettes of themselves as infants, so I was thinking it'd be a cute gift to give a "matching" one of her.<br /> @lil owl: That's so sweet of you! I think I'm going to go ahead and email him and see if he'll take another shot. Maybe he'll be willing to, and if he thinks I'm crazy, oh well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/custom-silhouette#post-868701 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:03:11 +0000 Bookish 868701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom had silhouettes of us done as kids (I think I was 9? and my sisters 3?) and they actually look quite a bit like us. That blows that yours didn't turn out nice :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/custom-silhouette#post-868654 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 17:26:14 +0000 HabesBabe 868654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm super lucky because we have access to some of the best silhouette artists-- the ones who work on Main Street in Disneyland! I would complain if it doesn't look like LO at all. How old? I think sometimes it's hard to get an accurate silhouette of an infant since they're always moving and they all kind of look the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/custom-silhouette#post-868140 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 14:15:18 +0000 lil owl 868140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>if you send me a photo i'll make you one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/custom-silhouette#post-868126 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 14:10:10 +0000 rattles 868126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone had a custom silhouette made of their little one? If so, did it look like them? Our local toy store had a silhouette artist in today, and we'd made an appointment a few weeks ago for LO to have her portrait made. I'm disappointed in how it came out - it doesn't even look like the same head shape to me - but I don't want to be one of "those" moms who complains about how it didn't capture my kid's essence or whatever, ha. Are my expectations too high, or has anyone else had a similar experience? </p>
