Motherhood Mondays: Flying Henry

Photographer Rachel Hulin saw her husband lifting up their baby Henry one day and wondered what it would look like if her husband were cropped out. The result? Henry appeared to be flying!

Hulin created a series of these adorable images, and now she's publishing a 40-page book, Flying Henry, in April 2013. How cute is that? (Wouldn't it be cool to write a story to go along with the photos?)

(Thanks, Scott)

  1. the premise of this sounds like it could go either way (some photoshop jobs can be SO bad), but these are so well done and perfectly endearing. i love that lonely one of him flying over the bed. so cute!!
