I Capture Grandparents With Their Grandkids Because No One Ever Photographed Me With Mine (27 Pics)
355Kviews
When I look back at all my family photo albums, there is not a single image I find with my grandparents. There are images with mom, dad, my brother... even with my dog and a stray cat whom we had adopted... but seriously none with my grandpa and grandma. And those were the two people I loved the most... I still do, even after they are long gone.
And so, I have sworn that whichever part of the world I will travel to now... I will make sure to photograph a grandparent or great grandparent with their grandchild... for how often really do we get our grandparents into the frame?!
And not only has this project helped me rebuild memories of my childhood in a way... meeting and interacting with all the elderlies has really taught me so much about life.
I hope you like some of these images that I share here.

I wonder if they are great-grandparents or just got kids at high age. All seems so old, most of the grandparents to toddlers I see is in their 50s or so.
Arn't those the kittens who lost there mittens? Now I know where they gone to
At first I looked at the picture and thought, Wait what? Why is the baby’s legs so weird??? Then I looked again 😂
Oh my lord I remember those days. Hated it then, remember the moments fondly now.
As a great grandma, I am not in many pictures, as I am the one with the camera, always !!!
This just reminds me of how hard lockdown is for so many families :(
As my great grandson, was about one and a half, I took him outside often, wanted him to start learning about nature, I gave him a tiny flower to hold, told him it was a pretty flower, a leaf , or a pebble, it was such a joy, I was Blesses !!!
I do wish the photo editing hadn't smoothed out Grandma's hair into a soft blur and added lip gloss to the baby. That aside, it's a sweet picture.
The pictures are really nice but a bit over-done, a little less afterwork would still keep them nice but more natural.
I would love to see some of these without the smoothed over look or the lip gloss. Such sweet moments. But distracts me for some reason
Indeed, far too much afterwork....
Yeah, the children's skin texture puts them into the "uncanny valley" for me.
I agree.
Should be rated higher! There is endless wonder and surprise, understanding and loving adoration between older people and babies and children... we should all be so patient and kind with each other
When my daughter was maybe 4 yrs. old; we were visiting my husband's parents and she gently patted my mother-in-law's cheek and told her not to "worry about those 'ruffles' on her cheeks". She learned how to knit and crochet; They sat together and made things while watching soaps on T.V.
Precious!
Absolutely beautiful portraits! The lighting is just right on all of them.
Yes Brenda I agree, each one is truly excellent, this is one of my very favorite BP posts, I want to look, again,and again !!!
