A photo posted to Facebook in 2013 started going viral this week. The photo is a set of “newborn” pictures of an adopted teen.
Photographer Kelli Higgins sees plenty of newborn babies in her business, and she’s good at getting the right “look” for those sessions. But she didn’t have any baby pictures of her son, who was adopted at age 10.
One day in 2013, as Higgins was getting ready for yet another session of baby pictures for a client, her son, Latrell, pointed out that he was sad their family didn’t have similar pictures of him. And so Higgins decided to fix that.
Posing her now-13-year-old son in the typical newborn poses (curled up in a blanket, propped up on his hands) along with shots of his toes, Higgins gave her son the perfect newborn photo session. The results are absolutely touching. If you want the same, you can search for Newborn Photography services near you.
