It’s something you hear from parents all the time. “I wish I could stop the hands of time and keep my children young forever.” As parents, we yearn for a simpler time in our children’s life.

Parents must accept that their children will mature and lead their own lives. To demonstrate his daughter’s development, one Dutch father chose a unique way.

A Dutch filmmaker named Frans Hofmeester had the wonderful idea of capturing a photograph of his daughter every week of her life, beginning when she was a baby and finishing when she was 20 years old.

The results are nothing short of breathtaking. Seeing this young lady’s transformation over 20 years is truly beautiful from a young, crying infant to a fully grown woman.

As a unique way of preserving a simpler time, when his daughter was a baby, Frans Hofmeester definitely has a creative mindset. This project must have taken a ton of patience.

Parents have long been concerned about their children growing up too quickly. Frans Hofmeester devised a unique and lovely method of reflecting on the past that would always bring up pleasant memories.
