In a delightful twist on traditional birth announcements, a couple has taken the internet by storm with their humorous and heartwarming “birth” photos featuring their newly adopted kitten. Photographers Mia Thompson and her partner, Jake Harper, decided to document the arrival of their furry friend in a style typically reserved for human births, with the help of their talented friend and fellow photographer, Ava Lane.
The charming series of images, which quickly gained viral attention, was shared on social media under the title “New Arrival.” The photos capture every moment — from labor to the joyous reveal of tiny paws.
Mia explained the inspiration behind the project: “Ava and I have collaborated on various photography projects in the past, including human births, which sparked the idea. We wanted to create something fun and memorable to celebrate our new kitten.” The result is a series of meticulously staged shots that evoke both laughter and warmth.
Among the standout images is a candid photo of a disheveled new mom cradling her rescued kitty in a soft hospital blanket, alongside a proud “dad” beaming with joy. There’s even a playful moment capturing Mia checking the kitten’s gender, only to discover it’s a furry little bundle!
The couple’s playful approach to this new addition to their family showcases their lighthearted spirit and love for their pet. As they expressed their amazement at the photos’ rapid ascent to fame, they humorously mentioned, “We had NO IDEA it would resonate with so many people. It’s been a surreal experience!”
