Mother’s Breathtaking Photos Capture Her Young Sons’ Amazing Ability To Connect With Animals

Have you ever taken a picture so powerful, it tells a story every time you look at it? Elena Shumilova, a dedicated mother and photographer, takes that very picture every time she touches her camera.

The Russia-based photographer put together a pretty neat photo collection featuring her two sons, Yaroslav and Vanya, and their special bond with the animals they encounter.

Just by looking at the photos, you can tell that her sons are able to effortlessly connect with each animal, and it’s pretty amazing to see at such a young age. More of Shumilova’s work is available on her 500 px page where she often introduces new photo collections along with Yaroslav and Vanya.  Check out the photos below.

A bunny? Make it two.

Not anyone can just walk up and gently touch a dogs face.

The fact that this cat is just sitting in the snow is just as amazing as the photo itself.

Now that’s what you call quality time!

Doesn’t this look like the poster of a movie about a dog and his best friend?

This will be this kid’s Facebook profile picture in the next 15 years.

Forget hopping away, this rabbit’s just chillin’.

Speaking of movie posters, this picture looks like it’s about a haunted house. But great shot.

All of these photos were taken by Elena Shumilova after she received her first professional camera.
