Forget the squinting in the sun, open-your-eyes-on-the-count-of-three photos we are all unfortunately familiar with, because this mother-daughter duo have the art of the family album down pat.

Photographer Camilla Courts and her darling daughter Layla are the dream team guaranteed to make your cute dress-up snaps suddenly look like a hot mess with their almost uncanny Disney depictions.

Why didnโ€™t our childhood photos look this good?

The pair, who began recreating picture-perfect scenes from childhood films in 2014, have managed to turn their sweet method of bonding into a social media empire, followed by almost 35,000 people in just a few short years.

With Cinderella, Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty, Alice in Wonderland and Tinkerbell all in the duoโ€™s sartorial line-up, it seems thereโ€™s no look they canโ€™t pull off.

But of all the many characters sheโ€™s portrayed, playing The Little Mermaidโ€˜s Ariel beside her mum as villian Ursula was her favourite; it meant the two were together in front of the lens for a change.

โ€œEvery once in a while I like to get in on the fun, and I think being the villain is way more fun than wearing the crown,โ€ Camilla tells The Huffington Post.

โ€œItโ€™s really very special and even if she wanted to quit tomorrow, I will look back on how much fun we had playing dress-up,โ€ Camilla tells the publication.

Camilla, who usually snaps her magical portraits where they live in British Columbia, Canada, says the experience has done wonders for her daughterโ€™s confidence.

โ€œSheโ€™s a very shy child, and I see her light up when she gets into costume,โ€ she says. โ€œSheโ€™s gained a lot of confidence since we started the project and has really come out of her shell.โ€

โ€œItโ€™s been truly magical.โ€
