There’s something so special about turning sixteen and what better way to celebrate than with a birthday portrait session at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort? This stunning Sweet 16 session was full of sunshine, style, and of course, Disney magic! As an Orlando photographer, I love capturing milestone moments, and this birthday girl brought all the joy and sparkle to her session.

Why Coronado Springs Is Perfect for Portrait Sessions

Coronado Springs Resort is one of my favorite hidden gems at Walt Disney World. With its mix of Spanish-style architecture, dreamy fountains, and sweeping views of Lago Dorado, it feels like a perfect blend of elegance and fun. It’s ideal for portrait sessions especially milestone birthdays like this one!

We explored the resort’s walkways, waterfront views, and colorful buildings while snapping portraits that felt both timeless and full of personality. The birthday girl wore a chic dress that popped beautifully against the warm tones of the resort. Every corner of this resort has a magical photo backdrop!

Whether you’re staying at Coronado Springs or just want a photo session while celebrating your Sweet 16 at Disney World, I make sure to keep things relaxed, fun, and personalized. We’ll talk through your outfit, the vibe you’re going for (fun, glamorous, whimsical, you name it!), and find the best time of day for golden light and smaller crowds.

For this session, we scheduled our shoot just before sunset to take full advantage of that dreamy glow. We captured posed portraits, playful candid moments, and even a few twirls on the bridge with the tower in the background.
