Canton Readers Submit Mother-Daughter Lookalike Photos

CANTON, CT — 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 Connecticut to share their "mother-daughter lookalike" photos.

It doesn't matter how old the kids are, they'll always be your babies! and part of the fun of motherhood is watching your children grow up and enjoy the same things that you love.

Several Canton readers have already submitted a lookalike photo:

Carol and Amanda Cole

"Amanda and I started and have grown our own company, Carol Cole Real Estate, LLC. It's the simple things in life that makes this mom so grateful, like driving 8 minutes to Amanda's home and having coffee together, sharing our fun family celebrations and Sunday night family dinners together. Who knew we would one day be in business together! I will say the last 4 of my 20 years in real estate has been the most rewarding and fun. Amanda makes me laugh often. Her friendly personality, organizational skills and ability to relate to young and old, has made her a successful realtor and me very proud."

Jessica St. Gelais and mom

"My mother is my best friend and has always been there for me. The most positive, hard working and motivated person I have ever known!! I hope to be half the person she is in the future. I love you Mom!"

Natalie Olmstead and mom Sandra

"This picture was taken in the Bahamas on a mother/daughter vacation. We also have matching mother/daughter tattoos. People say we look the same all the time, even at the grocery store. My Mom and I are two peas in a pod! She does so much for me and we always have fun whenever we are together. I can’t thank her enough. Happy Mother’s Day!!”

Harold, Marianne and Anna Burbank

"I couldn’t resist sending this one of the three of us at Kennebunk Beach, Maine."
