There's nothing more innocent and adorable than a child.

Therefore, it's not surprising that parents usually take tons of baby pictures in an attempt to freeze the cuteness of their little one into a photograph.

Maria Jose Da Luz, however, takes preserving childhood memories to a whole new level of adorable.

As a talented artist, Jose Da Luz is no stranger to drawing up all sorts of incredible illustrations.

But recently, this Costa Rica-based illustrator set her sights on something a bit smaller: cute little kids.

In her latest project, Maria set out to put an imaginative spin on a bunch of baby pictures by creating a series of charming childhood illustrations.

All of her whimsical works of art are actually inspired by real pictures, and there's no denying these creative drawings are just as cute as the kids in the original photos.

Whether her creative pictures turn swing sets into sky-high adventures or playtime with dad into a superhero-packed scene, all of Jose Da Luz's illustrations are pretty amazing.

Take a look at the photos below to see these adorable illustrations.
