'My Best Friend, Love Mom': Mother's Day Photos

LEESBURG, VA — 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 Virginia to share their "mother-daughter lookalike" photos.

It doesn't matter how old the kids are, they'll always be your babies!

Leesburg resident Meghann Kinshella sent us this gorgeous photo of her with her daughter, Scarlett, as they visited Ocracoke Island, North Carolina, in July 2017.

"I love you Scarlett! Here's to many more fun days in the sun with my best friend. Love, mom."

Happy Mother's Day, Meghann!

It's your turn, Patch readers — what traits do you and your mom share? Submit your lookalike photos by sending them to deb.belt@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.
