I’m so excited to share this California Adventure Family Session with you today! When the Zamora Family reached out about extended family photos, I just couldn’t wait to work with them! There’s something so special about extended family sessions. Capturing multiple generations together, celebrating love, and creating memories in such a magical location is truly heartwarming.

California Adventure Family Session

The Zamora Family chose California Adventure as the backdrop for their session, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The weather was gorgeous—clear skies and the soft glow of the golden hour added so much warmth to every shot. A funny moment happened when “Nana” proudly showed off her custom Disney shirt, which became a family favorite. This session was a celebration of the Zamoras’ love for Disney and their strong family bond. With kids, parents, and grandparents all present, it was a beautiful reminder of how precious these stages of life are and how important it is to capture them.

We started at Pixar Pier with the iconic Pixar Pal-A-Round Ferris wheel as the backdrop. One of my favorite shots was of the whole family walking hand-in-hand, smiling and laughing—such a candid moment of togetherness. And of course, “Nana” stole the show with her big smile and yellow castle-themed shirt that truly embodied her Disney-loving spirit.

To the Zamora Family, thank you so much for allowing me to capture these precious memories for you! Your family is so sweet, and it was great getting to know you guys better. I can’t wait to see you all continue to grow together!

Enjoy this little peek into this sweet extended family session!
