Last week we interviewed Henry, and today we’re interviewing Henry’s friend and fellow toothless first grader, Harper! This is part of a partnership with Gap Kids and the GapKids class of 2014 contest going on. Harper’s mother, Sara, works with me here at Say Yes so we get to spend lots of time together and I always love when Harper and Henry get to hang out (even if it’s for a photo shoot). They crack me up! From Frozen sing alongs to Little House and the Prairie and rainbow loom bracelets, Harper is one part teenager and two parts adorable little kid.
Keep reading for our interview with Harper, featuring these favorite picks from Gap Kids: Star hi-top sneakers (don’t you love these!)/Drop waist zip dress/Denim jacket (borrowed from the boys)/Nylon backpack/Stud headband.
Photography and styling by Liz Stanley. Assisted by Sara Albers. Thanks to Harper and Henry for modeling their toothless grins!

Fun questions and responses. LOVE the answer to what she’d never want to change. So sweet.
You have three recesses? My goodness your school is doing something right! In North Texas we have one 20 ish minute recess after they have to sit through a silent lunch! Ridiculous, I think.
Wow. Harper’s parents are doing an amazing job. She seems intelligent, kind, and wise beyond her years. What a sweetheart!
I agree, she has spectacular parents!
Love Hrapers answers and her cute outfit! Fun series
What a cutie. Loved both of the 1st-Grader Interviews.
Liz, you captured Harper perfectly. I’m one proud aunt 🙂
One lucky aunt too!
Oh how sweet! The cutest, I agree!
This is awesome – what a cute kid! Also, the bit about being herself? Wise beyond her years.
