Have you ever wondered what your baby dreams about while sleeping?  What if you could capture that dream in a photo?

Adele Enersen, from Finland, will be the first to say she isn’t a photographer.  And yet, look at what this mama has captured of her sleeping baby!  These dream photos are all inspired by what she imagines her baby may be dreaming.  So creative, so beautiful.  Where did the idea come from?

“When Mila was born she slept almost 18 hours a day. Most of the pictures that Adele took of her were sleep pictures. Once, Mila fell asleep on the floor in a funny posture, and Adele’s musician husband Lasse Enersen placed a conductor’s baton in her hand and it made her look like a little fencer.Adele’s creative, dream like, photos of her baby prove you don’t have to have a fancy camera to create magic.” (from Life’s So Beautiful)

I love the back story of how all of this started because it was the simplest spark of “huh, what would happen if…”

All the props are everyday things in her home that are repositioned for the photo.  In an interview she shared how this blue elephant is just her cardigan.  Don’t you LOVE that!

This is a great interview of Adele.  You will be in awe and inspired as you hear her explain the different props for each photo, like her husband’s black socks! 🙂

If you are loving these photos as much as I do, see her blog Mila’s Daydreams.  It is sheer inspiration that will fill your heart.

This is another one of my favorites! So simple and yet brilliant!  I’m totally getting her book because I could look at these all day!

Thank you Adele and baby Mila for inspiring all of us!

You never know what can come from a small spark of “What if…”
