Elijah Perman, five, has been obsessed with the 2009 animated movie Up for about as long as he’s been alive. So, when his photographer mother, Rachel Perman, was looking for a special way to celebrate Elijah turning five, it was a no-brainer. She celebrated her five-year-old son Elijah's birthday by recreating his favorite movie. “I chose to do magical shoots for my kids birthdays this year as all three of my kids share the same birthday week,” says Rachel. “Elijah is very particular. He is borderline addicted to Up and has been for several years. It’s the only thing he draws and colors – the house with balloons – the only books he wants to get at the library, and the only toy he wanted when we were in Walt Disney World last year.” In a dream come true for the little boy, he dressed as the beloved explorer Russell – hat, badges, and all – and held a bunch of balloons tied to a tiny toy house in a series of photos. His great-grandparents, Richard, 90, and Caroline Bain, 89, got in on the fun, with Richard dressing as Carl Fredricksen and Caroline made-up as Carl’s beloved late wife, Ellie. “He was so excited and giggled,” says Rachel about Elijah. “He loves the photos!” she continued. Rachel shared the photos on her Rachel Perman Photography Facebook page, where the post has been shared more than 500 times. Elijah wasn’t the only one on cloud nine that day. Emilee, Elijah’s twin sister, who loves all things girly and princess, posed on a white horse dressed as a unicorn, with a fake horn attached to its head.
