Barely Different: I Capture The Bond Between My Two Daughters
I’m Anna Larson, Owner of Anna Christine Photography in Olympia, WA. I unknowingly began this photo series of my daughters two years ago by photographing them at play.
Their close connection was evident through the images and I saw a similarity that had bloomed from friendship. They are their own individuals with very different personalities, yet I see so many similarities because of their closeness. Two souls birthed on opposites sides of the world were brought together through adoption and they’re now inseparable. I plan to continue photographing them just as they are, and allowing this series to grow organically with them. It’s not skin that makes us different, or that causes separation and distance…no, it’s a lack of unity. When we grow beside another, our similarities bloom.
As a mother of three, I’ve grown to love documenting the life and human connections of the everyday. I photograph my children daily, but also love to tell the stories of others. My passion for this art is in photographing stories of birth and family. Each moment is life, and having images that remind us of the details within our stories is such a wonderful gift.

No, it’s a lack of unity
When we grow beside another, our similarities bloom
It’s opened my eyes to the potential we have to love and accept one another as brothers and sisters, just as they do

Very inspirational! My brother is black and I am white. I love him and the only difference between us is personality. Love this. There adorable.
Bless you . I hope as your daughters grow they will be allies for each other.
Love the bond, love the humanity, love the matching bathings suits!! Well done, as a human being, as a mother, and as a photographer!!
The one in the pool is a my fav :) it looks like they'll be best friends forever
100% truth spoken, this is a beautiful story captured here. I hope this reaches the rest of the world and opens their eyes.
Adorable children you have Anna. No words needed. The photos speak for themselves.
I don't like children but even I must admit these girls are just adorable. Best of luck to your beautiful family!
Hello Anna. really great work, congratulations. If you want to promote it on the photography blog (blog.jmleclercq.com), contact me. It's totally free.
I love this. I was so upset when I learned how hard it was to adopt a child of a different skin color than my own because of a misconception that it would be better for the child to be placed in a family with its own skin color. All I wanted was to adopt the child with the greatest need. Why does anything else matter? For that matter, why dis a nuclear family constitute a proper home for a child? Some nuclear families are unsafe. So what if the kid will have two moms, or only a dad, as long as it's a good home.
Blessings! As your daughters grow may they be allies for each other.
Fantastic series over all though I would strongly suggest removing the nude photos showing nipples (might not seem like big deal but there are a lot of pedophiles out there that would want those ones)
