A collection of charming images showing a lifelong friendship between a four-year-old girl and her cat have been created by a Russian photographer.
Andy Prokh, 44, from St Petersburg has taken a series of natural shots and staged photos of his daughter with the family pet.
His daughter, Katherine, is pictured with LiLu Blue Royal Lady, a grey British shorthair cat in a variety of poses.
Mr Prokh has been photographing six-year-old LiLu with his daughter, now four years old, since Katherine was born.
He said it’s important for him to photograph things he cares about.
‘They live and grow together, I just have to do is press the shutter button on the camera,’ Mr Prokh said.

The images show the pair in a variety of scenarios, including playing with apples, drinking milk at a table, pondering a mathematical equation and playing guitar.
Most of the photographs are in black and white, and feature realistic poses, while others have been edited by Mr Prokh to depict imaginary scenes.
One of the more creative images features Katherine with LiLu in a hot air balloon made out of a hat and an Angry Birds balloon.
