Children And Animals Cuddle In Cute Photoshoots By Russian Photographer Elena Karneeva
Children's relationships with animals and with each other are free of many of the misconceptions and unfounded fears that can infect our minds later in life. It is this innocence that Elena Karneeva, a professional child and family photographer based in Moscow, captures in her beautiful photos of children and animals.
The children in each image seem to great the animals posing together with them as friends, rather than as dumb beasts or as food. The dogs, pigs, goats and other critters inspire beautiful rural images that remind us of another Russian photographer as well – Elena Shumilova.
Be sure to check out her website for her other creative photography – she's definitely not limited to babies and animals!

In this series the two I like best are the more ethereal ones that depend highly on their backgrounds and the lighting, along with subjects!

Cute. But those wild animals are to be so close of us in real life? I don't think so... At least should have a warning: Do not try that in

The pictures are great! My only qualm is with where the bylines are... They are so distracting!

It's the photographer's only line of defense in keeping her credit once images go to a viral site like this.
