26 Mother and Child Photos

No matter if a child is a newborn or a fully grown adult, mother and child photos never lose their ability to warm hearts, especially around Mother's Day. These photography projects, advertising campaigns and editorials highlight some of the most special moments in motherhood, spanning the times mothers get to share with their babies, tots, young kids and finally, grown-up children.

Although being a Mom, or having a relationship with your Mom isn't always glamorous, quite a few recent magazine spreads, advertising campaigns and lookbooks are turning to mother-daughter bonds as inspiration. Some youth collections (such as the one for Born Free Africa) are even being designed and promoted as matching mother and child looks, so that coordinating an outfit in the morning will never be a fight.
