'My not-so-little newborn': Mother's unlikely photo shoot of adopted son, 13, who had no baby photos of his own | Mail Online


An adopted teenage boy with no pictures of himself as a baby has posed as a 'newborn' in a photo shoot for his photographer mother.

Latrell Higgins, 13, from Crestview, Florida, is captured in softy-lit shots typical of a baby's first photo shoot.

He asked mom Kelli, 33, to create the album in lieu of any photographs of himself as an infant.

I think it is so very sweet.

An adopted boy who likely never had any of these special moments finally gets the treatment and attention he deserves.

I think it's pretty cool that he even wanted to do it.

I think it's precious.

Okay, now you’re all weird too. What's he gonna do next? Take his first steps? Pictures of his first boom boom on the potty? It's just weird.

I agree, seems kinda creepy to me.

I do not think it's precious or sweet - I think it's hysterical!

I'm seeing it as a tongue-in-cheek thing, not serious but just good-natured fooling around.

If that's not the case, then it's creepy.

Reminds me of an episode of "Yes, Dear" when Christine and Jimmy realize that they have more pictures of their first son as a baby than their second son. So, they dress Greg and Kim's toddler son up like a baby to take pictures and videos of him to look it's their son. For the "first steps" video, they spin the kid around real fast and get him dizzy so that when he tries to walk, he's very wobbly.

Concur.

ETA: Quote from the article.

Latrell mentioned that he didn't have any pictures of himself when he was born and Mrs Higgins' 12-year-old daughter Alycia suggested recreating a shoot just for him.
'I thought it was funny and that it would be a good idea,' Mrs Higgins said. 'I was very sad too because I didn’t have any photos of him either.'
The next day she took a series of pictures of Latrell at home and she recalled that they both laughed 'hysterically' throughout.

So NOT creepy!
