A Mother And Her Mini-Me: PHOTO

SANTA ROSA, CA — Whether it's through their personality, their looks or a combination of both, daughters become a reflection of the woman who raised them. With Mother's Day 2018 right around the corner, we are celebrating that special bond by inviting Patch readers across California to share their "mother-daughter lookalike" photos.

This one shows Lora Sansom and her daughter, Haley Sansom-Rose, on July 22, 2017 in Santa Rosa.

"Here is a picture of me and mini-me!" writes Lora.

Happy Mother's Day, Lora, and thanks so much for sharing — what a perfect photo of you two together!

It's your turn, Patch readers. Share your mother-daughter lookalike photos by sending them to autumn.johnson@patch.com. Submit your email with a nice message for your loved one and be sure to include names, the city/location of the photo and the date. Or — post it via the bulletin board section of your local Patch site.
