Some time ago I saw an article about a man named Ulric Collette who created a series of what he called Genetic Portraits.
When I saw them I was totally stunned.
Seriously, coolest thing ever.
To see how different or how much the same we are from our mothers, fathers, siblings or cousins was extremely interesting.
Not sure what I’m talking about? Check out the Genetic Portraits HERE.
Although my girls are still awfully young, I decided to try creating my own Genetic Portrait with Delaney, who I always thought was the most different from myself.
Maybe not so much after all?
You know, except for the part where I have all the wrinkles.[spacer height=”20px”]
Though, in this photo I am wearing zero makeup and other than a rouge zit I healed, I think I look pretty damn good if I do say so myself. #notahumblebrag[spacer height=”20px”]
Yeah, let’s do that!

Karly Gomez says
I missed you too!
Charlotte says
That’s amazing! Thanks for linking up! Sorry I missed your Linky! x
Karly Gomez says
Thank you Charlotte, and no worries!
Karen Traversy says
This was cool to read about and I google +’d it.
Karly Gomez says
You’re a sweetheart Karen, thank you!
Jessica Fiorillo says
That is crazy and insane. I am going to bookmark so as time goes by I can compare. Who knew? Thanks for sharing!
Karly Gomez says
This was super fun, and I worked on ones of the other girls and me, but this one with Delaney turned out the best! Now I think I am going to do them of the girls together and see how that looks!
Bethany the ngnrdgrl says
OMG, you are too funny! And that portrait is really crazy! I really want to do this now with my mom and then again with any future girls. Wow. Thanks for sharing. I’ve linked up!
Karly Gomez says
Thanks Bethany! You totally should!
Christina (Tina) Morley says
That’s an interesting idea. I can see why you didn’t think you two looked that much alike, but when you put yourselves together, it does change one’s perspective. Thanks for visiting Amanda’s Books and More!
Karly Gomez says
Thanks Tina! I did ones with the other girls and they definitely didn’t come out nearly as good as the one with Laney! Next I’m going to do the girls together and see how that looks!
Amber EasyGreenMama says
Would that be weird if I did this with mine and my son’s picture! Ha Ha! That is really neat. You have great photography and editing skills girl!
Karly Gomez says
Not at all! The creator, Ulric, did this with both his son and daughter, and if I remember correctly, a sister too! It was really cool to see the similarities in the different genders!
Theresa says
Wow, that is so wild!
Karly Gomez says
Ha ha ha thanks Theresa!
Paula J says
This is the coolest thing I have ever seen! Pinning right now!
Karly Gomez says
Thanks Paula! I really enjoyed it!
orangeheromama says

Karly Gomez says
Thanks so much!
Robin Sharpe says
That would be so neat to do with multiple generations! Do all of your girls have eyes the colour of Delaney’s? It is always interesting to me how eye colours happen….I have hazel eyes, my husband has blue eyes and our daughter has green eyes!
Karly Gomez says
Yes! I want to do this with my mom when she comes to visit next and compare her to myself as well as my daughters! My first daughter, Afton, has blue/green/hazel eyes, Delaney’s are the golden brown, Vivi’s eyes are like super pale blue, and so far Charlotte’s eyes are a dark blue!
OlderMommyStill says
WOW, that is amazing!!
Karly Gomez says
Thank you!
bigguysmama says
That is so cool. I haven’t seen anything like that! I’ll definitely have to check out that link!
Karly Gomez says
Yeah, I was floored when I first happened upon it!
Ai Sakura says
wow this is amazing! almost a perfect match to the facial features!
Ai @
Sakura Haruka
Karly Gomez says
Thanks Ai!
Liz says
Too cool! I think you need to offer a tutorial on how to do that effect, so I can try it out, lol! You did a great job, and you can definitely tell you’re mother and child. 🙂
Karly Gomez says
Thanks Liz! I definitely should do that sometime!
stevebethere says
That is amazing wht a great idea heh!
Have a tanfastic week 🙂
Karly Gomez says
Thanks Steve!
Alissa says
That is neat! I did that once with my Grandma who passed away when my Dad was 2. I put her photo and Photoshopped it on top of my own. It was creepy cool. Especially since she was passed on.
Karly Gomez says
Nice! I bet that was pretty awesome to see!
Shayna Murray says
This looks really neat. My daughter is pretty much the spitting image of me so it should make for an interesting portrait….
Karly Gomez says
Oooo, you should do it sometime!
Judy Haughton-James says
Very interesting! Thanks for hosting.
Karly Gomez says
Thank you Judy!
Renae of Simple Sequins says
I saw this on others blogs in the linky part and thought it was a very cute person (as in one of your children). When I got to your blog and noticed the details and read what concept was, I was a bit freaked out, to be honest. But it’s October. It is the time to be around freakish things, right? I just see your beautiful photos on the side and don’t seem to have too much into the genetic ones, for now anyway. LOL Ya, lets just do the part when we say nice things to each other. ok? ok. LOL
Diana M. says
How neat is that!
Karly Gomez says
Thanks Diana!
lisanoel03 says
I so want to do this now
Karly Gomez says
You should! And then share it so I can see it!
Karren Haller says
Now isnt that interesting, when I first looked at the photo without reading, I thought, Wow that is different. What an interesting idea. Thanks for sharing.
Happy WW
Oh My Heartsie Girl
