Toddlers Claire and Chloe recreated some real Disney magic in a photo shoot resembling some iconic moments in the fairy tale stories.

Photographer Myranda Josephson was approached by Claire's mother, Jessica West, with an idea for the photo shoot starring her daughter and her sister Johnna Corona's daughter.

West had previously seen a similar photo series on the web and decided to recreate her own fairy tale shoot with her family. Living near Disneyland, the girls had grown up knowing all of the Disney and fairy tale stories.

Some of fairy tale characters include Cinderella, Snow White, Wendy Darling, Little Red Riding Hood and Alice from Alice in Wonderland.

While the girls may look like perfect princesses in the photos, Josephson says getting small children to cooperate on camera is no easy task.

"Working with young children is always challenging for moms and photographers, Josephson told ABC in an email. "The main thing we focused on was getting it done quickly before the loss of toddler patience!"

All sets and props for the photo shoot were collected by the two mothers, and West made all the dresses by hand.

Josephson used Photoshop to complete some of the real magic, like the pixie dust and Peter Pan's shadow, though the wolf in The Little Red Riding Hood was very real. Living near Los Angeles, West was able to find someone who keeps trained wolves for movies and print advertising.

"Claire and Chloe especially loved the wolf shoot! We had to sneak shots in between their little pretend howls," wrote Josephson.

Josephson said that she and the two parents have been overjoyed with the attention the shoot has received, and are already working on the next series where they hope to include scenes from Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid.
