Mini Session at Disney’s Grand Floridian

Planning a Disney vacation and thinking about professional photos? A mini session at Disney’s Grand Floridian might be the perfect fit—especially if you want beautiful, relaxed portraits without taking too much time away from the magic.

I met this sweet family for a quick 20-minute session while they were staying at the Grand Floridian Resort during their trip to Walt Disney World. The result? Timeless, joyful portraits that captured their vacation memories in the most elegant Disney setting.

Why Choose a Mini Session at Disney’s Grand Floridian?

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort is one of the most photogenic spots on property. With its classic white architecture, palm-lined pathways, elegant fountains, and views of Cinderella’s Castle, it offers so many backdrops in a short amount of time.

A mini session at Disney’s Grand Floridian is ideal if:

• You want gorgeous portraits without a full session commitment
• You’re looking to squeeze in photos before dinner or a park day
• You have little ones (or spouses) with limited attention spans
• You want to capture your vacation memories in style

We planned this session for early morning before the day got too hot—and it was the perfect call. The light was beautiful, the resort was quiet, and the family was still full of that relaxed Disney vacation energy.

What We Captured in Just 20 Minutes

You might be surprised by how much we can capture in a quick mini session. In this 20-minute shoot, we were able to photograph:

• Full family portraits with the Grand Floridian in the background
• Candid shots of the kids giggling and twirling on the pathway
• A few sweet couples’ photos of the parents
• Solo portraits of each child for their memory books
• Close-up details like holding hands and Disney-inspired outfits

The family coordinated in light pastel colors, which looked stunning against the white buildings and tropical greenery of the resort.

Tips for Your Mini Session at Disney’s Grand Floridian

If you’re booking your own session, here’s how to make the most of it:

1. Book for early morning or just before sunset – You’ll get soft lighting and fewer crowds.
2. Stay on property if possible – It makes it easy to pop down for your session before starting your park day.
3. Coordinate your outfits – Light, neutral tones or soft colors photograph beautifully here.
4. Let your kids be themselves – The best shots are often the unposed, joyful moments in between.
5. Trust the process – Even in 20 minutes, we’ll create magic.

Make Your Vacation Memories Last
