It took Lotte just four minutes to go from baby to teenager...

How many times have you heard, “they grow up so fast?” Well for this little girl it’s especially true. It only took four minutes.

We all know that kids grow up pretty quickly. One day they are relying on you for every little thing and then next minute, they are experimenting with crazy hair and defiance.

So Frans Hofmeester decided to put his photography and filming experience to good use. Every week from 1 day old to her 14th year, he filmed his daughter, Lotte. On his website he says, “I filmed Lotte every week from the moment she was born. She was changing at such a rapid pace, that I felt the need to document the way she looked, to keep my memories intact. Other people might make a photo book, but I decided to film.”

The end result is a heart-warming (possible tear jerker) time lapse of his little girl growing up.

Lotte’s first day, not realising she is about to be a world-wide star.

Does this make you want to do this for your kids?
