Loving photographer Jason Lee’s photography of his two (adorable) daughters! His technique– creating quirky sets and situations for “shoots” and using lighting similar to an editorial shoot style– is such a fresh and interesting take on photographing children.

It’s clearly not an approach that would work for everyone, but for someone with this kind of skill, it’s such a fun way to document their childhood– for him to do and for the family to have later on!

Plus, in an interview, Lee explained the origin of the project, and it makes the whole thing even more endearing. In 2006, his mother was diagnosed with lymphoma, and because his kids constantly had runny noses and little-kid-illnesses, they couldn’t see her. So, Lee started taking these photos and posting them to a blog as a way for his mother to see the girls and to cheer her up.
