Some sessions just sparkle from the very beginning, and Cosette’s was one of those. The moment she walked into the studio with her mom, Staci, she was ready to show off her sweet personality—and oh boy, did she deliver!
Cosette is at that magical age where every step feels like an adventure and every expression is brand-new. She wiggled, giggled, and flashed the kind of grin that can melt anyone’s heart. I swear she already knows she’s got the world wrapped around her little finger.
One of the sweetest scenes of the day was Cosette in her floral romper, perched in a vintage-style high chair with a wooden birthday cake in front of her. She poked at it, clapped for herself, and gave the biggest grin, like she was throwing her very own little party. Those tiny knitted knee-high socks were the perfect finishing touch—cozy, playful, and impossibly cute. The combination of textures and props made the photos feel timeless while still keeping all the fun of a first birthday celebration.
Then came outfit number two—a dreamy blush dress with ruffled straps. Cosette took her role very seriously, crawling right up to the camera with those big blue eyes staring straight into my lens. It was like she was letting me in on her little secret: that she’s equal parts sweet angel and curious explorer. The delicate backdrop of flowers made it feel like she had tumbled into her very own fairytale.
And through it all? Staci was right there cheering her on, laughing at her little gestures and sounds, and soaking in these fleeting moments. You could see the love and pride in her eyes with every click of the camera.
This is what I love most about what we do here at the Best Photography Studio Grand Junction: it’s not just about pretty pictures (though, let’s be honest, Cosette gave us plenty of those!). It’s about capturing those bursts of personality—the scrunchy-nose smiles, the adventurous crawls, the tiny-but-mighty dance moves—that tell the story of who your child really is right now.
Cosette may be little, but she’s already got a big personality that shines through in every image. Her session was full of laughter, sweetness, and a whole lot of heart—and I have no doubt these photos will be treasured in her family for years to come.
So here’s to Cosette, the tiny queen of sass and giggles, and to Staci, who wanted to remember this first chapter before it turns into the next big one. Sessions like this remind me why I adore photographing little ones: they’re unpredictable, full of magic, and always keep me on my toes in the very best way.
I literally cannot wait to hang their gorgeous wall art, deliver their Fine Art Album and more than anything to watch little Cosette grow!
Much Love,
Csilla
PS: This gorgeous baby girl has a gorgeous outdoor family session coming up right here.
