Extended Family Photography at Disney’s Riviera Resort

Family photography at Disney’s Riviera Resort is more than a quick photo session—it’s a chance to capture your vacation memories with the people you love most. When you think of Disney, your mind probably jumps straight to the theme parks — the thrill of rides, the sparkle of fireworks, and the wonder in your kids’ eyes as they spot their favorite character. But what if you could bottle up that joy, those memories, and the laughter between generations into keepsake images you’l[...]

Let’s be real, one of my favorite reasons to travel, aside from beautiful new views, is to experience the local cuisine!  Let’s first start with places you absolutely need to see on your trip t[...]

Yesterday we celebrated my youngest daughter’s BERRY FIRST birthday! 🍓 As a photographer, I’m guilty of letting moments slip by without truly documenting them.

For Nora’s first birthday, we did the big smash cake at home with all our friends and family. While it was fun, I barely have photos — I was in the moment, but also felt like that intimate milestone turned into a spectacle.

This year, I chose something different. We did Raya’s smash cake a week early with just my sister (a.k.a. the official child wrangler) and the girls. They could get as messy as they wanted, and Raya may have eaten way too many strawberries… but the focus was on the moment, not the commotion.

If you’re on the fence about capturing these milestones — don’t wait. They’re only little once, and the years go by faster than we think. 📷❤️

P.S. Scroll to the end for a funny little sour face!

Sure, you could find someone cheaper… but will they fix your flyaways, capture the belly laughs, or chase your toddler mid-meltdown with a smile? 😅

Photography isn’t just a cost — it’s an investment in memories you’ll never get back. I’m here for the fleeting moments, the sweet snuggles, the real stuff. 🤍

P.S. No meltdowns happened during this shoot but we did bribe the girls with two scoops of ice cream 🍦
