Chalk drawings show couple’s newborn son in different fantasy lands….
Images created by Anna Eftimie, a photographer from California
Has since been asked to create similar images for other parents
Burying treasure on a desert island, diving from a boat in the sea, etc….
These imaginative chalk drawings show a couple’s baby boy ‘transported’ into different fantasy lands by his photographer parents.
Anna Eftimie, from California, began taking pictures of her son Serban when he was just five days old.
Then her husband suggested using pictures drawn on a chalkboard to make the images more ‘special’.
The couple’s first creation showed Serban wrapped in a blanket and being delivered by a stork – a reference to the myth.
They then started to create new images they have now dubbed ‘Blackboard Adventures’.
The scenes include Serban at a disco, on a treasure island,and on a hammock,
Mrs Eftimie, 33, who runs Cute Moments Photography, said she had since been asked to create similar images for other parents.
One father asked them to create an image of his daughter as the American President while another family wanted an image of their child on an African safari adventure.
Mrs Eftimie said: ‘Being a perfectionist I pay attention to very little details which is important to the final look of every image.
‘If you combine that with my husband’s creativity and passion for creating cool looking set-ups, you will get the photos that I really love working with – fresh and unique.
‘It’s a certain type of client who request these images – often with a lot of imagination and sense of humour in order to create a world around their child.
‘Most people are still looking for the classic baby photos which is great but these are definitely something unusual and good fun.
‘What I enjoy most is the parents’ reactions when they first see the finished product. One family wrote to me telling me how they were still smiling from ear to ear.’

It’s not unheard of for animals to become quite chummy with members of another species — even with those they would normally consider eating.
Abandonment, trauma, or living together on farms or zoos, all serve as factors in bringing animals together in unexpected ways.
Here’s what happens when opposites attract.

After its own kitten died, this cat started taking care of these puppies, whose mother had been hit by a car.

This lion cub tried to tuck in to a tortoise, but found the shell was a tough nut to crack.
Playtime almost turned into snack time for the young lion, who clearly hadn’t heard that it’s bad manners to play with your food.
The cub was discovered tormenting the leopard tortoise by a photographer in the Mashatu Game Reserve in Botswana
Villiers Steyn had been observing the cub playing with its siblings when it got distracted by a potential meal
But the young lion soon found that the leopard tortoise was not for eating, to its evident annoyance
Villiers Steyn, 31, said: ‘The pride was very relaxed and we spent about an hour with them on this particular day.
‘When we arrived the cub was already playing with the leopard tortoise, so I started taking photos immediately, making sure I didn’t miss a thing.’
The leopard tortoise is the fourth largest species of tortoise in the world so the lion was certainly taking on a mouthful.
But even its ferocious fangs weren’t powerful enough to pierce its victim’s armour.
The youngster wanted to turn playtime into a mealtime but picked the wrong creature to mess with
The lion found that even a few licks couldn’t soften up the tortoises’s protective shell
The cub’s frustration at not being able to chow down on the leopard tortoise was written all over its face
Even though the big cat had a firm grip on the tortoise, its intended prey wasn’t going to give up without a fight.
‘After it urinated in its mouth, the lion left the tortoise upside down,’ said Mr Steyn.
‘We rushed over and turned it up right after the cubs moved away.
‘Yuck!’: The cub was clearly unhappy that the tortoise retaliated by urinating in its mouth
