It’s always nice to look at old photos. They bring back memories that just warm the heart.
However, for some people, looking at old photos isn’t enough. They decided to make new memories by recreating their old pictures and honestly, it’s such a wonderful idea.
Here are 37 of the best recreated old photos that are going viral on the Internet:
1. For Nana
Nana must have been so happy to see this photo. She’s got another photo o the kids she can carry with her wherever she goes.
Another recreation that we did for our Nana’s photo album! This one was particularly important to do because she carries the original in a little compact mirror/photo in her handbag.

2. Always and forever
Growing up didn’t change her love for horses. In fact, she has gotten better in riding them.
3. After 20 years
The colors may be a bit different but the feelings are still there. No one can deny the special bond this pair share.
Thought you guys might like this one too! There’s approximately 20 years between these two photos of me and my mom. I painted her face, she painted mine.

4. Because of the apron
They did an excellent job preserving that apron. Even after 23 years, it still looks decent.
I saw the apron while shopping, and decided to do a remake of my mother’s favorite picture for Christmas. 23 years apart.

5. Their third trimester
A lot of people recreating old photos choose childhood pictures. This one’s a bit different since it recreated a pregnancy photo. It’s fascinating that they were able to do it in the third trimester, too.
6. Same dogs, same love
They may have aged but they’re still adorable. This girl is lucky to have these dogs for 13 years.
I got photos taken of me and my 13 year old dogs to recreate some old ones for Christmas.

7. A tribute to Dad
It’s sad that the son was only able to recreate it after his dad passed away. Nonetheless, it’s better late than never, right?
I found this polaroid of my dad shortly after he passed a year ago. I finally recreated it today.

8. The newest member
Even if it took a few years, waiting for the baby dinosaur to come was worth it for this couple. They’ll conquer the world, that’s for sure.
9. What it means to be cousins
Growing up with cousins means growing up with your best friends. You’ll be able to make lots of childhood memories which you can recreate 20 years later- just like these guys.
Well, we tried… Cousins. All born about three months apart. 24 years difference here.

10. 1991 vs 2001
There was no dramatic change in the photos. She’s still the charming girl who likes to decorate the family’s Christmas tree. Even her smile didn’t change after 10 years.
11. Almost perfect
This family deserves a perfect score. They didn’t just recreate the photo but they managed to find similar-looking clothes, too. That’s not easy to do considering that these photos are 20 years apart.
12. Being twins
These siblings have an awesome sense of humor. They picked a seriously funny childhood photo to recreate for their birthday. For sure, their guests were thankful they chose this one!

13. A special wedding gift for the sister
This is definitely a precious gift. His sister may have received tons of gifts on her wedding day but this will definitely be one of her favorites. This is something money can’t buy.
My sister got married over the weekend, so we recreated this gem from our childhood.

14. Who’s holding who?
The son looks so much like his father. He even grew his beard just to ensure that. They even have the same smile!
15. Same age, different years
It’s hard to believe that these photos were taken in different years. Honestly, these two look like twins!
16. 12 years apart
This one’s a bit hilarious. Even after 12 years, the cat still has the same expression on his face.
17. Changes in style
Their fashion style has changed in the last couple of years and they changed at the same time. This just proves that they’re the best of friends.
18. From college roommates to best friends for life
These girls are lucky to have met each other in college. They’ve been friends for a decade already and they’ll surely stay that way for the rest of their lives.
A decade later, and not much has changed. College roommates and best friends.

19. One cool woman!
It would have been nice to see the same dog in the after photo, but that’s quite impossible to happen since 75 years have passed already. For sure, he’s somewhere looking after this cool woman.
20. Student to teacher
This photo’s quite inspiring. Apart from being a recreated photo, it’s also a proof that dreams do come true. This teacher should consider showing this photo to his students!
21. When the premature baby grew up
His hairline hasn’t chaged in 45 years. His smile’s still the same, too!
22. He’s had enough.
First of all, what the girl said was just plain rude. No one has the right to say such a horrible thing to another person. Fortunately, this boy used the rejection as his inspiration to work on himself.
13 to 18 years old. A girl rejected me because i was “cute but too fat.” I decided to do something about it.

23. Reunited for Christmas
Christmas with the family is always special. It’s when you get to catch up and share important life stories. It’s also when you can recreate old photos with them, just like what these guys did.
24. Guys don’t grow up.
Even after 22 years, these brothers are still into video games. Their love for Playstation never changed.
25. That level of commitment
Recreating childhood photos isn’t easy. Apart from making the same facial expression, you also have to copy the poses. When you’re a grown man, that’s hard to do. It’s one reason why the guy wearing the white shirt deserves extra credit.
26. He’s still smiling!
You can easily tell that he loved his job. Even if he’s 77 years old now, he’s beaming with happiness when he was recreating the photo. It would have been nice if he was able to wear the same uniform.
27. Same attitude
Clearly, the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. These babies have the same look of disdain on their faces.
Genetics are weird! Me in 1993 (left) and my daughter in 2020 (right). Same attitude and general disdain.

28. This guy’s dedication
This guy’s commitment on getting a matching shirt is amusing. He really did an excellent job recreating his old photo.
29. What an achievement!
This guy deserves to be praised for his level of commitment. This wasn’t an easy achievement for him. It just proves that dedication pays off.
From a ten your old Cub Scout to a 27 year old Eagle Scout (even the hat is the same. Go Braves!!!)

30. The brothers from Italy
They look like a jolly bunch. It must be nice to hang out with these guys and their bottle of wine.
31. An upgrade!
These guys have gotten cooler after 20 years. They even upgraded their bike.
Met with the brother in lockdown to recreate some old pictures from 20 years ago!

32. Almost the same
The man in the “after” photo should have worn a pair of glasses. It would have made him look so much like his Dad. They even have the same nose!

33. Still looking great
This couple looks like they didn’t age that much. That’s probably what happens when you’re married to the right person.
34. Still charming as ever
They’ve gotten more adorable, right? They’re so cute that their childhood hairstyles still look good on them even after 18 years.
18 years and counting of being best friends with u/profemory. Ages 5 and 23.

35. Dad and son
This is such a heartwarming tribute. The Dad must have felt proud to see his son following his footsteps.
36. So committed
That doesn’t look comfortable at all. Fortunately, the guy has a good sense of humor. He doesn’t mind experiencing a bit of discomfort for the sake of recreating their old photo.
37. Best actors
This pair deserves an award. Just look at how they were able to copy the facial expressions they had in their childhood photo.
