Being the parent of twins is no easy task at the best of times. However, Beyoncé’s flower-strewn twin photo shoot with Sir and Rumi is one of the most majestical, blissful-looking (and unrealistic) sights we've ever seen.
When mum Sharon Kellaway from Cork saw Beyoncé’s shoot, she thought she would get in on the action too along with her five-month-old twins Senan and Zoe.
Donning a white wedding veil, a pink fleece blanket and her trusty Converse, Sharon posed for her own photo shoot along with her twins. She didn’t have a flower wall to hand unlike Beyoncé but took to her back garden to recreate a similar atmosphere.
She attempted to recreate Beyoncé’s graceful poses while juggling her twins but let’s face it, it is much easier to hold two tiny sleepy one-month-olds than two active five-month-olds.
Senan and Zoe looked quite interested in what was going on around them and certainly gave Sir and Rumi a run for their money!
Sharon shared the funny photo to her Facebook wall, alongside one of an ethereal-looking Beyoncé and the Carter twins. “The likeness is uncanny,” she joked.
She told The Irish Independent: "I just wanted to take the mickey as she looked so unrealistic.”
"She will never know what it's like to have twins all day every day. The image was just so unrealistic and photoshopped. It's a far cry from the lovely reality of a real bond with twins," Sharon said.
Sharon makes some good points and we are in absolute stitches laughing at the recreated photo.
While Beyoncé appears to have an endless supply of veils, flower walls and skilled photographers at her disposal, Sharon roped in older daughter Megan, aged six, to take the picture.
“More from the photo shoot ... I wonder how many photos Beyoncé had to get through to get the right one. My six-year-old took the photos ... no qualifications and still did a mighty job,” Sharon wrote beside the photos.
Sharon uploaded her photo shortly after Beyoncé’s official announcement photo was posted and the comical snap is going viral around the world and has even been featured on ABC News.
The mum-of-five said she “never expected” to get such a reaction to her funny photo. “It was just random,” she told The Irish Mirror.
"I have the twins, the blanket and the veil and a few home-grown flowers in the garden. I had what she had, so why not?”
Move over Beyoncé, turns out she's not so irreplaceable after all!
