7-Year-Old Daughter And Mom Cosplay As Disney Characters, And Their Photos Are Better Than The Real Thing
7-year-old Layla may be a shy kid but not when she's wearing a Disney costume. Playing dress-up has helped Layla "come out of her shell" and gain confidence.
It all began 2 years ago, when Camillia Courts, a photographer, took her daughter to Disneyland’s Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and got her a dress. Their first photo came out so great that they have been cosplaying ever since.
The mom-daughter duo now has more than 19,000 Instagram followers, and sew the dresses themselves or hire local seamstress. While Layla loves to dress as Disney princesses, her mother prefers the villains. Their favorite photoshoot was "The Little Mermaid" where Layla was Arial and Camillia turned herself into Ursula.
Besides cosplaying as Disney characters, the 7-year-old has also dressed as Princess Leia and BB-8 from the "Star Wars". She also cosplayed as Rowena Ravenclaw from Harry Potter and Violet from "The Incredibles."

What special memories they're making together! I don't remember my mom playing dress up with me, but my son and I used to dress up as superheroes that he invented. Just wish I'd had your talent behind the lens. Well Done!

Photographically, I'm not a fan of the "light, muddy shadows" look, but cool pic though. :)

OMG she looks older than her years! Shades of the beauty that is growing with her.

She really owns the character of a Princess in this image. I like the more relaxed feel of this pose, doesn't feel as staged as some others.

i'm guessing pocahontas from the second movie. the hair doesn't match though.
the only other yellow dress is belle and she had nothing to do with an elk. 8d0bc475ce...6b8cba.jpg

I may be misinterpreting this and I know I'm going to get downvotes, but what's a "girl smile"? Why are girl smiles different than boy smiles? Why must we gender-ize everything???

She's cosplaying as Rowena Ravenclaw, founder of Ravenclaw House. Helena was Rowena's daughter, who became The Grey Lady. :)

She's not floating on water, she's on the sand under the water, I love the little crab on her tail too!

I'd say the water, like many of the elements in these photos, are skilled editing.

Not meaning this to be offensive at all, but is it just me, or does she look like a doll in this one?

The real Brave princess needed to as well. I think there was more hair than princess.

Beautiful, but out of character for Leia. I prefer the close-up in her rebel robes!
Vanessa O'Connor 8 years ago
This isn't out of character. This is the dress she wore in the award ceremony after the battle when she handed Luke and Han Solo medals.

But that was before Leia became a Disney princess! she would probably have loved this if she had been given the opportunity.
Melanie Haneline 8 years ago
Not really out of character. I think the costume is meant to be the one from the award ceremony from A New Hope.

She should move her hand so we can better see the comb (fork) or as Ariel knows it, dinglehopper.

I saw everyone that was here to view and this little girls is being made famous by her beautiful Mother. And when this little girl grows up I hope she will have many photos dressed up to show her book to the world of how she was loved and had a happy child hood. Her Novel will be a very good story to read.
Brittany Rogers 8 years ago

Not sure if you can call a photography, when it's mostly photo-shopped...

It is still photography. It also includes elements of post-production digital editing. It is artistic interpretation- Mixed-Media, if you will.
