Hilarious Photo Series Shows How a Magician's Baby is Born. We've got to give it to some couples, they sure know how to make announcing the arrival of a baby a super fun occasion! Like we've seen from Quebec-based photographer Patrice Laroche, on the internet, actually conceiving and delivering a baby requires nothing more than a little "magic. " In July, the photographer behind the Tumblr Daddy's Little Prop, Anthony Stuart, had a beautiful baby girl.

In the cute photo series he calls The Magic Show, Anthony dresses up as a magician while his wife dons a sexy assistant's outfit. In just six easy steps, we see the couple go from having no baby to conceiving, and then to finally having the baby, who arrives in, what else but an adorable bunny outfit. Who's more shocked than the magician?

Looks like his wife! Daddy's Little Prop Tumblr. Creative Before and After Maternity Photo. Whether you love it or hate it, you've got to admit, this is one creative before and after maternity photo. Photographer Sandra Bianco took the "before" shot of Keila June when she was 35 weeks pregnant, which is only 5 weeks shy of the typical 40 week pregnancy. Inspired by an image taken by photographer Tina Boyd of a soon-to-be mother lying seductively on the beach (this one?) , Keila decided to recreate the topless shot. Of course, the most interesting part, is the "after shot. " Keila went one step further than most by taking the same photo two weeks after her son, Jaydon, was born. Though the photo was taken on a different beach, the pose was the same as little Jaydon was placed in a similar spot he would be lying in if he was still inside his mother.

Reminds me of this creative photo series. Kissing from Above. Intimate photos are given a whole new perspective by Andy Barter.

This dial will always include, at the very minimum, these four letters -- P, A (or AV), S (or TV), and M. There will also be a fifth mode entitled "Auto".

Let's look at what these different letters actually mean. Auto Mode. This mode pretty much does exactly what it says on the dial. x742619345_hkJPG-750x750.jpg.pagespeed.ic.CbChiopUeP.jpg (JPEG Image, 750x500 pixels) Michelle Obama's Style Pictures - J. Crew.

Cousins: Justine, 29, & Ulric, 29 How much do you and your family members really look alike? Quebec, Canada-based graphic designer and photographer Ulric Collette has created a shockingly cool project where he's exploring the genetic similarities between different members of the same family. By splitting their faces in half and then splicing them together, he creates interesting new people that are sometimes quite normal looking and other times far from it. He calls this series Genetic Portraits. (Did you notice that Ulric, the photographer, is one-half of some of these pairings?

For instance, see first and last.) Update 1: We got in touch with Ulric to ask him a few questions about this really intriguing series (that just happened to go viral).

Photographs by Martin Schoeller Six-year-old Johanna Gill puts a protective hand on her sister, Eva. The 15-year-old sisters want to go to the same university and become opera singers. As infants, Ramon and Eurides looked so much alike that their mother gave them name bracelets so she wouldn’t get confused and feed the same child twice. When Loretta was diagnosed with breast cancer three years ago, Lorraine was in the doctor’s office with her. The nine-year-olds get along well and also have a psychic shopping bond.
