Kristin and Kayla: Adorable Sisters in Amazing Photos

Posted: 11 Jul 2012 07:00 AM PDT

Here's something guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Jason Lee, a California-based American wedding photographer of eight years, has become something of an internet sensation thanks to funny and imaginative pictures taken by Lee of his two adorable young girls, Kristin (8) and Kayla (5). The photos, uploaded onto Lee's wildly popular Flickr account, see the lively little siblings snapped as they partake in weird and wacky situations, which vary from daily chores to werewolf-hunting, ceiling fan-riding to playing Super Mario Bros. – in full-scale.

The photos of Kristin and Kayla began when Lee's mother was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2006. As Kristin and Kayla were constantly sick with colds and coughs at the time, they couldn't see their grandmother for fear that she catch their kid germs. Lee decided to start an online photo blog wherein his mother could see her granddaughters and what was going on in their lives. As time went by, the photos of Kristin and Kayla became more and more inventive and fantastical, and Lee and the girls' internet fame was set in motion.

"Most of the ideas come from the girls," says Lee of his creative process. "From observing them play, or hearing the funny and outrageous things they say. Their day to day life also plays a big role for my inspiration." On his shooting technique: "After coming up with an idea, I then ‘set up’ the scene, and often use artificial lighting to enhance the images. It helps to plan out the shoot before hand, so at most, I only have them in the shoot for a minute or two."

Below are some of the stunning, rib-tickling and heartwarming photos in Lee's collection. If you want to see more (and why wouldn't you?), head over to his Flickr page or his official blog.
