A mum has created a special montage of her daughter growing up by taking an identical photograph on her first day of school each year.
Dagny Barnett, 53, shared the snaps of her daughter Chloë, 14, in the same spot since she began nursery at four-years-old.
The mum says she and her daughter have perfected the pose over the years to create the annual record, the Mirror reports.
Chloë got the 2021 school term underway as a Year 10 pupil and will now be working towards her GCSEs.
Dagny described the pride she feels for her "precious" daughter, who she was only able to have after a seven-year ordeal including seven rounds of IVF.
She now has a catalogue of pictures documenting Chloë's transformation from a chubby-cheeked youngster to a grown-up teen.
Dagny said: "It's just nice to see the difference each year of how much she's changed.
"The hairstyle and other bits have all changed over the years.
"She's gone from a very chubby-cheeked nursery child to a grown-up girl."
Dagny, a stay-at-home mum, has strict rules for how Chloë must pose - side-on, smiling and in school uniform - outside their house near Redhill, Surrey.
The first batch of pictures shows Chloë from the age of four to 11 - from nursery to Year 6 - while the second batch in her red blazer documents her time at secondary school.
Dagny said: "Chloë loves the pictures now she's 14 and doesn't have to go through the stress of mummy screaming 'put your leg forward' or 'put your leg in the right place!'.
"Seeing the old pictures is such a lovely memory of her junior school years."
Dagny's photos come as parents south of the border send their young ones back to school.
One mum and dad explained the extra effort needed to get their quadruplet children dressed in new uniforms and ready for school.
To help teachers identify the cute kids, their mum has given them each personalised backpacks, and fitted different coloured hair bows to tie up their matching blond hair.
Carla Crozier, 39, had mapped out a busy morning routine with military precision so the four, and big sister Darcie, seven, make it to the school gates for 8.30am.
But all her plans had to go on hold because Isla, Milla, Alyse and Darcie tested positive for Covid-19.
It is such a shame for the excited quads, who have been asking Carla all summer when they will start big school.
Meanwhile, one young lad was not looking forward to his first day, and his mum used a clever hack to make him feel more comfortable.
The trick simply requires sewing two small crosses on the cuff of a school jumper.
Kat Gurnett, 35, posted the hack on her Instagram account last week after discovering it online and realising it would help her five-year-old son Davey feel more relaxed when he began his first week in Year 1.
The two crosses act as 'kisses', and Kat told her son he could kiss or rub the little Xs if he started to miss his family because it would “send a little kiss back home”.
