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!

Amazing! My favorite one. There is such a beauty in it, little girl's smile, the boy playing around, the owl...they seem like old friends :)

I think many of these are photoshopped or else she is a reckless mum to let the (other) fully grown animals get so close to her kids.

I don't know if the bear's mother is going to think that's so cute.

I think many of them are photoshopped. Foolish mum to trust the other fully-grown animals this way.

I'm very disturbed by seeing this gorgeous child wrapped in the pelt of another stunning animal. Sad. Very sad.
