When your parent is a photographer with a passion for Disney-inspired cosplay, it must be an amazing adventure for a child. Meet Mia Thompson and her daughter Ava, who have been dazzling us with their creative Disney-themed photoshoots. Their latest project pays tribute to The Nightmare Before Christmas and is nothing short of spectacular.
In this charming photoshoot, Mia dressed Ava and her friend Jake as Jack Skellington and Sally. The result is a visual feast that perfectly captures the essence of these beloved characters. “The makeup took about three and a half hours for both costumes, followed by an hour and a half of shooting,” Mia shared. “I spent at least 20 hours editing the images.”
The meticulous attention to detail is evident in every shot—from the stunning makeup to the meticulously crafted costumes and props; whimsical is an understatement. Mia sourced Ava’s “Sally” dress from Etsy, aiming for screen-accurate designs. “The moment she wore the dress, she completely transformed,” Mia remarked.
Having engaged in Disney cosplay for three years, Mia finds that these experiences have significantly boosted Ava’s confidence. “She loves doing the photoshoots because we get to bond, and she enjoys dressing up and wearing makeup,” Mia added.
Jake, the young actor portraying Jack, is the son of Mia’s go-to makeup artist. “This was his first time getting makeup done by his mom!”
