The Disney Connection | Costillo Family

The holidays are always a magical time in the Studio. Especially when Santa stops by. This year, I had the pleasure of welcoming a wonderful family for a festive visit with Santa. But what made this session extra special was the connection we shared as fellow Disney enthusiasts!

As soon as they arrived, the kids’ excitement was palpable. Dressed in their holiday best, they were ready to meet Santa and share their Christmas wishes. The little ones marveled at the cozy setup and Santa’s warm smile, I had the chance to chat with their parents—and it didn’t take long for us to discover our mutual love for Disney.

They had just returned from a magical trip to Walt Disney World the day before. The glow was still on their faces with that unmistakable post-Disney excitement. They shared stories about meeting characters and experiencing the attractions. The pure joy of seeing Disney through their kids’ eyes made me even more excited for my own upcoming trip! It was so fun swapping tips, favorite moments, and a little bit of Disney magic right there in the studio.

The session itself was full of heartwarming moments. The little ones lit up as Santa welcomed them and listened intently to their Christmas wishes. There’s something so special about capturing the wonder in their eyes and the joy of this festive tradition. The family’s connection and love for each other—and their shared excitement for the holiday season—were so evident in every shot.

Knowing that we were both carrying a bit of Disney magic into the holiday season made this session even more memorable. It was a reminder of how much joy these shared experiences bring, whether it’s a family vacation to the most magical place on earth or a visit with Santa that creates memories to last a lifetime.

Thank you to this sweet family for bringing their holiday cheer and Disney magic into the studio. It was such a pleasure capturing these moments for them, and I wish them a holiday season as magical as their Disney adventure.
