Your little monkey’s colorful personality has been captured in many a photo. (His cheeky shenanigans always get in the way of your perfect shot.)

Commemorate his serious side with a custom silhouette by Dallas artist Virginia Rose.

Rose studies her subject for a brief moment before taking scissors in hand. She then snips away at a sheet of black paper, creating an image that captures all the cherished details of your little angel’s profile — like those long, luscious lashes; cupid lips; and rolling ringlets. She works her magic in minutes, ensuring a masterpiece for even the squirmiest of posers.

Which means you’ll get your shot, with or without model behavior.
