This Hysterical Empty Nester Photo Shoot Is What Parenting Dreams Are Made Of

Now that 22-year-old Haley Marie English is shipping out of her childhood home, her parents — Amy and Randy English — certainly have cause for a celebration. Although Haley is currently a full-time nanny, she's recently dipped her toe into the world of photography, and judging by the recent empty nester photo shoot she did for her parents, she has a knack for camera work.

"We decided to do this photo shoot when I signed my lease in March," Haley told POPSUGAR. "I wanted to take a picture of my mom and dad outside of my apartment building's office, and then she suggested we wait and do an empty nester photo shoot. We had never seen one, so we just threw it together! The funny signs were ALL my moms idea, and I think that's what really made the pictures so funny! We took the photos right outside of our home in Pontotoc, MS, and we even included our dogs, Marley and Buck. They are the favorite kids, if you ask my parents."

As a budding photographer, Haley admits she was surprised by how much traction the photo series has been getting. "I did not expect these photos to get so much attention," she explained. "Maybe 20 likes at most. I am just now starting out professionally, and when I woke up this morning, I had thousands and thousands of shares, comments, and new page likes, which means the world to me!"
