A Day in the Life: Photographers on Vacation

September 26, 2011

I am excited to be a part of a fun project this week. Some really talented photographers (and fellow TWIPS) are bringing you 7 Days. 7 Photographers. where we’ll explore a day behind the camera. As Casie put it in her post yesterday: “We set out in the past couple weeks, camera in hand, to show you our lives — from being wedding photographers, to traveling photographers, to mommy photographers, and beyond.  In reality, you could probably scratch out the word ‘photographers’ in that too — because while we ARE photographers, and photography is what we LOVE?   Weddings, Traveling, Being Friends, Family, and (for some of us) Mommies — is what we LIVE for.” That about sums it up 🙂

Our day was during our family vacation to Disney World, so a lot of these images are all about our little girl, Evie. Enjoy!!

First thing, we woke up and I brushed my teeth (ya know, so Mickey wouldn’t faint when I gave him a hug). Then I washed my face and did some exfoliating. Fun stuff!

Then, as every day should, ours started with a little tickle fight:

Our day at Magic Kingdom was really rainy, so we mapped out a route that kept us indoors for as long as possible. We got some ponchos (which Evie thought was really funny), and then we headed for It’s a Small World.

The rain finally died down, so we started riding some of the outdoor rides (and enjoying some awesomely large lollipops).

Then Evie got to meet Minnie and Mickey. She loved them and was so excited to hug and kiss them (even though you can’t really tell from the picture). She is already asking to be Minnie Mouse for Halloween 🙂

After lots of mouse snuggles, we went to see the Celebration Parade. My favorite part of the parade was this talking trashcan that wheeled around making jokes!

After the castle fireworks, it was time to head home, so we waved goodbye to Mickey and Minnie and headed back to the hotel. We were all exhausted and happy 🙂

Stay tuned tomorrow for Orly Lyndon‘s Day. It’s gonna be a good one!!

    My dad used to threaten us with the “It’s A Small World” ride whenever my family went to Disney. As in, “If you guys start fighting, I’m putting you on the It’s A Small World ride until you sort it out.”

    Ummm can I have her…needless to say who “her” is! Love this series! So cool to be able to peek into someone’s life to see how they really live and love! I’m so bummed I did not meet you…we would have gotten along fabulously! You are truly a special person and I’m so glad that we crossed paths. I am an exfoliating fiend…so I totally understand. BTW you look about as young as 19…lucky you! xoxoxo
