'Extremely Proud Of This Young Lady': Mother's Day Photos

ROSWELL, GA — Whether it's through their personality, looks, hobbies or a combination of everything, 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 Georgia to share their "mother-daughter (or son) lookalike" photos. It doesn't matter how old the kids are, they'll always be your babies!

Quite a few Roswell mothers have sent us beautiful photos of their children. Kelly Patrick said she and her daughter, Paige, are always told they are "twins and look just alike." She shared with Patch a photo of the pair at Bluegrass Nail Salon and Day Spa on Feb. 23.

"She is the smartest and wittiest child I have ever met," Patrick added. "She just gets it! And by “it” I mean life.. I am extremely proud of the young lady she is becoming and also love, love, love the fact everyone says she’s my twin because, in my eyes, she’s the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on."

Charlette Green told Patch her son, Raja, is her "heartbeat and twin." She shared a photo of them taken on May 4 at Stoney River Steakhouse and Grill in Roswell.

Megan Zavieh also shared a photo of herself and her daughter, Sara, who "can't escape that she's my daughter!"

Not to be outdone, Jamie Yakish of Roswell also shared a photo of herself with her daughter, Reese. While the photo was taken in May 2016, Yakish notes Reese is still "my little princess."

"I love her to the moon and back," she added.

It's your turn, Patch readers — what traits do you and your mom share? Submit your lookalike photos by sending them to kristal.dixon@patch.com. Be sure to include a nice message for your loved one, as well as the city/location of the photo and the date it was taken. We'll share some of our favorites.
