There’s just something about three generations all together that feels extra special—especially when one of them is a baby who has mastered the art of keeping everyone entertained. That’s exactly what happened with baby Cosette, her mom Staci, and her grandma during their downtown Grand Junction photo session. From the first click of the camera, it was clear that this trio is all about joy, laughter, and a whole lot of love.
Cosette may be small, but she’s already a little star. She’s at that wonderful age where everything is new and exciting, and she has the best expressions to show it. One of her favorites? The wide-eyed “O face” that comes with the most adorable “oooooo” sound. It’s the kind of thing that makes you laugh every single time you see it, and it popped up during the session in the best way. Staci couldn’t stop laughing, Grandma was completely charmed, and Cosette looked like she was narrating the entire afternoon in her own hilarious language.
Downtown Grand Junction couldn’t have been a better backdrop for this crew. The colorful flowers, brick walkways, and shady trees gave us so many gorgeous spots to play with. Cosette was in heaven exploring the blooms—at one point she clutched a little flower like it was the greatest discovery of her life and waved it around proudly as if to say, “Look what I found!” Staci was right there with her, laughing and soaking in every silly, sweet second. Grandma watched with that unmistakable grandmotherly glow, just happy to be right in the middle of it all.
That’s what makes family sessions like this so special. It’s not about everyone standing still and smiling at the same time—it’s about the quirks, the laughter, and the love that tie a family together. For these three, that meant sweet snuggles, contagious giggles, and a baby who’s full of personality (and sound effects).
By the time we wrapped up, my cheeks hurt from grinning as much as theirs did. These photos feel like a slice of real life—bright, playful, and full of love. And when Cosette is older, I have no doubt that her family will look back at these pictures and remember exactly who she was at this age: curious, funny, and always ready with an “oooooo.” Sessions like this remind me why I love being a Family Photographer Grand Junction—because families like this deserve to have their joy captured just as it is.
Staci, I am honored you put your trust in me to create Fine Art Of Your Family. I can’t wait to watch Cosette grow!
