'I Will Forever Look Up To You': Mother's Day Photos

PLEASANTON, CA — 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 California to share their "mother-daughter lookalike" photos.

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

Pleasanton resident Tessie Barger sent us this gorgeous photo of her with her mom, Terry, who lives in Concord.

“I may have got my height from Dad but I will forever look up to you. Thank you for teaching me to be an independent, strong, and adventurous woman. I am so blessed to not only call you my Mom but also one of my best friends for these past 26 years. Happy Mother’s Day!”

Happy Mother's Day, Terry!

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