melissa & jen {wdw twin photographer}

if you’ve never heard of the disney college program, it’s an awesome thing we have here at walt disney world. super awesome people, like melissa, come from all over the world to work here for a few months or even a year. it’s great, because you get to meet wonderful new friends who change your life. it also sucks, because then they have to leave you. especially if they’re from canada and their work visa expires. 🙁

luckily, before my favorite canadian left town a few months ago, i got to take some pictures of her with her equally-as-lovely twin sister around epcot.

as you can see from their bracelets, jen (on the left) is the good twin, and melissa (right) is the evil twin. it is so, so true. they may be totally different personality-wise, but trust me when i say they’re both hilarious in addition to being gorgeous.


this seems like an awfully short blog post of pretty people, doesn’t it? weird. not really, though, because these photos were snapped during a different photo shoot – jen got engaged during her trip to disney! so i was actually supposed to be taking pictures of jen and her new fiance pete, which i promise i did. i just couldn’t resist sharing a few of these photos too.

next on the blog: canadians part deux! (jen and pete’s epcot engagement shoot) and lindsay’s senior photos at the grand floridian!

justine & dan {wdw portrait photographer}

all of my friends are obnoxiously adorable with their significant others. it’s actually a serious burden on my mental health, especially when i’ve got to be the one watching it.


honestly, though, these are two seriously funny people who i really love spending time with, and i was happy to take some pictures for them at my favorite resort on disney property, the boardwalk. when your friends are this cute, and this hilarious, it’s really easy to be their photographer.

dan and justine are actually so fantastic at modeling that random people wandering by felt the need to comment on them. a pair of giggling girls yelled out “you two are such a cute couple” as they walked towards epcot, and a little old man decided to call justine “bambi.” at least i think he meant justine. i’m not really sure.


even after it gets dark at the boardwalk, there are still some amazing places to take photos, and i was so glad to be able to explore.



up next on the blog…i promised you canadians, and you’re getting canadians!
