Starting at the Fantasyland Castle in Disneyland

I love this photo in front of the Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland, which is the picturesque entrance to Fantasyland.

Here’s using the iconic Disneyland Carousel (also known as the King Arthur Carousel) as a backdrop for these graduation photography portraits. We do a lot a photography sessions at Disneyland, so check out the many other examples we have on our blog.

And they aren’t graduation photos without a cap and gown.

Toontown Grad Photos

After Fantasyland, we hopped up to Toontown for grad photos at Mickey’s house.

And yes, there is a graduation pin that you can pick up at the Disneyland City Hall.

And you gotta love retaking a photo from the past in the same spot over It’s a Small World ride.

California Adventures Graduation Photography

We headed over to California Adventures, since the background of the Incredicoaster and the Pixar’s Pal-a-round is unmatched. It was previously known as the Sun Wheel and Mickey’s Fun Wheel, but we like to call it the Death wheel (You can get soooooooo dizzy on the sliding ones).

Gotta love doing graduation photos with the Pixar Pier in the background, capped off with a cap and gown.

And it’s always a good time to bust out your letters jacket for the grad portraits.

Finishing the Session in Carsland

We wrapped the session in Carsland.

Starting Disneyland Family Photos in Fantasyland

We started the family photos in Fantasyland, which is always fun for the children.

Just look at those deep blue eyes!

And it’s always fun going on King Arthur’s Carrousel.

More Family Photography at Mickey’s Toontown

We then went up to Mickey’s Toontown for some more family photos with the cartoony props and backdrop.

On to California Adventures for the Sunset

With the sun coming down, we quickly made our way south to California Adventures to make it in time for the sunset.

Here are California Adventures family photos with the sunset coming down across the ferris wheel.

And one the main reasons we use remote lighting is to get amazing photos of a sunset, especially when the clouds create such a unique texture in the sky.

Disneyland Family Photos

This is a family photography portrait session at Disneyland and California Adventures. Our Canadian family flew in from Canada to enjoy this southern Californian landmark and get their first family photos with their baby daughter (first and only child). We captured them in Fantasyland, Toontown, and in front of the ferris wheel in California Adventures. We absolutely love Disneyland and shooting there. We know how to deal with the large crowds and get amazing and memorable family portraits. We know how to capture a little bit of that magic that Disneyland creates.

Starting Family Photos at Toontown in Disneyland

We started the Disneyland family photography portrait session at Mickey’s Toontown, on the north side of Disneyland Park in Anaheim, Orange County. This is always a fun way to break into the family pictures, especially for the little kids.

We moved around to get maternity photos at Mickey’s house.

And then got family photos at Minnie’s house!

And we LOVE this family photo with the heart cut out of the fence at Minnie’s house in Toontown.

Walking Through Fantasyland to California Adventures

We then started walking south through Disneyland and Fantasyland, stopping to take photos at different spots.

We did some maternity photos on the carousel (King Arthur’s Carrousel).

And we love this photo on Main Street, where the trees were in full blossom.

California Adventures Maternity Photography

We made it to California Adventures to do the second half of the family and maternity photography session.

And we finished the maternity photos at the waterfront with the ferris wheel in the background (also known as the Pixar Pal-A-Round).

Family Photos California Adventures and Disneyland

This is a great example of how Judy can do both family photography and maternity photography during the same portrait session, in a crowded and very public location. Disneyland and California Adventures are beautiful locations, but are actually very difficult to do family photos with the many tourists and crowded nature of the parks. But Judy is an expert at creating amazing family and maternity photos even in such conditions. Make sure to check out the other family photography sessions we have done at Disneyland.
