Teacher,
Are these two sentences both correct?
This is a photo of me as a baby.
This is a photo of mine as a baby.

Many thanks

I also say me.

Mine were right if the sentence would be:
This is a photo of a baby of mine.
(This means it's one of your babies.)

P.S: I'm not sure if the sentence is fully okay, but the mine should be right in this case.

Cheers!

Your first sentence is good English; the second is not.
