Jen + Casey + William + Claire : Grand Floridian Family Session

June 10, 2016 by Jensey 3 Comments

Ready for the best meet cute I’ve ever heard? Geeeet ready! <3

Jen and Casey met at Walt Disney World 19 years ago while they were in high school. Both of their families were staying at the Grand Floridian, and Jen and Casey hung out by the pool and really hit it off, but *completely* forgot to exchange phone numbers! Oh, high school. <3 Casey went home to Iowa, Jen to Ohio. Fast forward a few years and Jen’s in college, strolling through campus at Ohio State, when who does she see? CASEY.

I’m convinced that the very moment this happened, time paused when their eyes met and there was an explosion of pixie dust and an Alan Menken score started playing. Jen said they went out that very night and every night since. 9 years later, they were married and have made two pretty awesome littles, and we were honored to document how far they’ve come since that first meeting! <3

This first one’s my favorite, a little snuggle outside the pool gate where they met!

Violet + Eli : Disney Grand Floridian Family Session at Walt Disney World

July 2, 2014 by Jensey 2 Comments

I know, I know, I shouldn’t have favorites.

But these two just melt me. Cynthia and Shane were one of our very first Walt Disney World wedding couples! They were married back in 2008 (which you can read on our old blog here!), and a couple years later, we met them in Celebration for a session with their daughter Violet, who just turned one. Look at her today!! <3

Not to be out-shined, of course, by her spunky little brother, Eli! <3

Funny story about Eli: Just like 99% of the kids we photograph, Eli really took to Nate. In the middle of the session, Cynthia told him, “Quick! Look at Miss Jensey!” and then, “Ok! Now where’s Mr. Nate?” Eli looked at her and shouted, “NO! That’s Miss Bobbi!” Cynthia corrected my name to him, and then he insisted, “NO! (Points to Nate) Miss Bobbi!” And from then on, we all lovingly referred to Nate as “Miss Bobbi.” :)

Cynthia is such a fun mommy, whether breaking into song with the kiddos or really getting them to ham it up for our cameras! :)
