Celebrating 19 years!

It was the perfect morning for a family session!  The weather was warm but not too steamy when Mama P and her family met me at the Starbuck downtown, bright and early at 7 am!  Downtown is amazing at this time in the morning because so few people are out and about and the whole town is calm and quiet!

Have you ever just met someone and felt truly honored to spend time with them?!  That sounds crazy right?!  Mama P and her family have traveled all over the world with Disney.  They have lived in Shanghai.  They have been all over Australia and New Zealand.  They have even traveled to places that I admit, somewhat embarrassingly, that I had to come home and google!  They had stories after stories of the most amazing adventures.  Adventures that sounded like they could be crafted and curated into novels and choose your own adventure books!

We walked and talked and I soaked up everything I could about their experiences and their travels.  We talked about all their likes and “favorites” from all the different Disney’s from around the world.  Mama P’s little ones (although not so little) have been on more trips and to more places than many adults have ever been or will ever go and to me that is just absolutely inspiring and incredible!

It’s something that I hope I can give to Linc one day, this gift of experiencing different cultures around the world and adventures beyond our own backyard.

That’s just it though… the P family… they are inspiring.  From the very second you meet them, you can just feel it!  They are so sweet and so humble.  They have a soft nature about them that just draws you in!  They are a family that you want to be around.  You want to eat dinner with them and have drinks!  You want to hear all their stories and make plans with them!  They leave you changed… for the better!  They leave you inspired to get up, to go and do with your family and those you love.

Life is an adventure and the P family… they are living it to the absolute fullest!

They have been living in Celebration for 19 years now but Disney is taking them on a brand new adventure!  I know they will make the most of it and they will have the time of their lives, every single one of them!  That’s just what they do… they live every moment in the moment!

Mama P… thank you so much for letting me spend the morning with you!  Thank you for sharing your adventures with me and for inspiring me to come home and plan some of our own!  I can’t wait to follow along with you in your next adventures and I hope that when you come back to visit, we can get together and grab a cup of coffee!

You have raised some truly fantastic little ones!!  They are beautiful inside and out and I can’t wait to see what they do next!
