Paige Higgins couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw her children’s first school photos.
The 32-year-old mom of three, who’s based in the U.K., was “eagerly” awaiting the final images from her older kids’ school picture day. However, she tells PEOPLE that she didn’t know how to react when she opened the online album and saw the first picture of her little ones, Blasie, 3, and Barley, 4
“It was the first picture when I opened the online album and I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry,” Higgins tells PEOPLE.
The proud mom, who shares her children with partner Jack Gager, 33, tells PEOPLE that she didn’t expect her children to look “so scared” in the photos.
She says, “I didn’t imagine them to look so scared [and] shocked that’s for sure.”
Poking fun at the picture, Higgins uploaded a few photos from behind-the-scenes of the photo shoot on TikTok before showing the hilarious picture of her two children. The video, which is set to Drake’s “Over,” went viral, amassing nearly one million views on TikTok.
In text over the first photo, which shows the photographer trying to direct them for the photo, Higgins playfully wrote, “POV- you’re a mum eagerly awaiting the first CUTE sibling photos since starting reception…..”
She tells PEOPLE that she “can’t believe” how many people have seen her clip with her children. “I can’t believe how many views it’s had so far, and still gaining everyday!”

Higgins, who’s also a mom to 4-month-old Beri, shares that Blasie and Barley have a “typical” brother and sister sibling dynamic.
“They are typical brother and sister [with a] love-hate relationship,” she tells PEOPLE of their sibling dynamic. “During the photos, they were pushing each other apart while the photographer was trying to get them to be close together for the photos!”
