Most parents have dreamt of what their kids will be when they grow up, at one point or another. After all, who doesn't want their children to experience big things in their future? But recently, dad and French photographer Malo took those high hopes one step further. In a series entitled, "One Day, My Child, You Will Be….," he photographed his baby daughter, June, taking on an array of potential future jobs he dreams she'll have one day.
The photos are so sweet and funny, I couldn't help but love them! Check them out after the jump!

As can be seen in the pictures, Malo took dressed his then 3-month-old daughter up in a wide range of professions, from the more practical roles (like a doctor) to more alternative careers. In one photo, she's dressed as a surfer while in another, she's a mini flight attendant.
But my two personal favorites? The Cardinal get-up, where she sports a red robe and white hat, and the Toreador, where she dons a full-on bullfighting outfit, complete with a red flag. Hilarious!
Malo explained the inspiration behind the series to Disney Baby, saying:
One day my son told me that he wanted to be an explorer when he grew up. My daughter, on the other hand, was set on becoming an artist. It made me wonder what they would really become. I thought about how parents used to decide their children's futures for them. If we envisioned a military career, we'd push our children to become notaries, lawyers and doctors. Today your profession is still important, but it's only one thing among many. We can hope for our children to become symbols and icons: an athlete, a Miss Something or a rock star.
Aww! Personally, I think this photo series is adorable and such a creative idea! Not only are they well-executed, but they will make for some great mementos to show June when she's older and has decided on her actual profession. Plus, I love that Malo has obviously placed no limit on his kids' potential while daydreaming about the possibilites for their future. Oh, and he didn't stick to the so-called "girly" professions either. Clearly, he's a really cool dad! See his photos series below:
