An adorable photo series is bringing kids' imaginary friends to life.

Inspired by her 3-year-old daughter Mia, photographer Anna Angenend teamed up with illustrator and fellow mom Amy Snyder (aka Amy Gets Artsy ) to create a series called "My Monster & Me." The photos show kids along with the magical friends (or in some cases "monsters") from their imaginations.

"One morning several months ago, Mia said to me, 'My yellow monster is kind of scary,'" Angenend told The Huffington Post. "Later in the day she told me, 'He's not so scary, he just needs a friend!'" That evening when she was getting ready for bed, she exclaimed, 'My yellow monster doesn't want to brush his teeth, he loves his cavities!'"
