At Bia Schaefer Photography, capturing family moments in the magical setting of Orlando Disney Resorts is always a special experience. The Miller family chose to celebrate their time together at one of Disney’s beautiful resorts, and it was truly a magical day filled with laughter, joy, and lots of smiles. As an Orlando Disney Resorts family photographer, I love creating unforgettable memories for families while they enjoy the charm and wonder of Disney.
In this blog post, I’m excited to share some highlights from the Miller family‘s photoshoot at Disney Resorts and show why a family photography session at one of Disney’s resorts is a great way to preserve these precious moments.
Magical Atmosphere: Disney Resorts offer stunning, picturesque locations with a blend of natural beauty and magical Disney touches. From the Grand Floridian Resort to the Polynesian Village, each resort provides a unique backdrop for family photos.
Convenient and Relaxed: Unlike the hustle and bustle of the theme parks, Disney Resorts offer a more relaxed atmosphere for family photoshoots, making it perfect for families with younger children or those looking for a more laid-back experience.
A Personal Disney Experience: A resort-based photoshoot allows families to enjoy the resort’s charm and amenities while being in a more intimate setting. You can capture not just family moments but also the spirit of your Disney Resort stay.
Candid, Natural Moments: Disney resorts allow for fun, candid moments that are genuine and full of joy—whether it’s walking by the resort’s beautiful gardens, playing near the pool, or simply relaxing in your resort room.
The Miller family had an incredible time at their chosen Disney Resort, and I was able to capture a variety of beautiful moments throughout the session. Here are some of the highlights:
Family Portraits by the Resort’s Iconic Backdrops: We began the session at one of the resort’s most iconic locations, where the family posed in front of stunning architecture, lush gardens, and vibrant flowers. The Miller family’s smiles were as radiant as the Disney magic surrounding them.
Relaxed Moments Around the Resort Grounds: As we explored the resort’s beautiful grounds, I captured spontaneous moments of the family strolling hand-in-hand, playing with their kids, and simply enjoying each other’s company. These natural moments captured the love and joy the Miller family shares.
Fun by the Pool: The resort’s pool area provided a perfect opportunity for some fun and playful shots. Whether it was the kids running around in their swimsuits or the parents laughing together, the poolside provided a laid-back setting that reflected the family’s fun-loving spirit.
Magical Disney Details: Disney Resorts are full of charming, subtle Disney details that add a touch of magic to the photos. From Mickey-shaped flowers to themed décor, we captured these special touches that made the experience unique for the family.
Casual Candid Shots: While we took some posed family portraits, the best moments came from candid shots: family laughter, playful interactions between siblings, and the parents’ loving glances. These moments are truly what make a Disney Resorts session unforgettable.
Select the Right Resort: Disney offers a wide variety of resorts, each with its own charm. Whether you’re staying at a luxury resort like Disney’s Grand Floridian or a more relaxed spot like the Art of Animation, we’ll choose a location that suits your family’s personality and style.
Consider the Timing: To get the best lighting and avoid crowds, it’s ideal to schedule your session in the morning or during the golden hour before sunset.
Dress Comfortably, Yet Stylishly: Disney Resorts are meant to be relaxed, but you can still dress your family in coordinated outfits that feel comfortable and stylish. Soft colors and lightweight fabrics work great for photos, especially in the warm Florida weather.
Let the Kids Be Themselves: Kids can be unpredictable, but those candid, unplanned moments are often the most beautiful. Let them run, play, and interact naturally—it’s these moments that make the photos special.
Include Special Disney Elements: If you’re celebrating something specific, such as a birthday, anniversary, or family reunion, let me know! We can incorporate those special milestones into the shoot, whether through personalized props or themed outfits.
Capturing your family’s moments at the Disney Resorts is an experience you won’t forget, and the memories will last a lifetime. Whether you’re staying at a luxurious resort or enjoying a relaxed getaway, a family photoshoot is the perfect way to preserve the magic of your trip.
