From a family we’ve photographed

“I can’t thank Michelle enough for the memories she captured of our family. We have used her twice for our Florida vacation photos and I will forever cherish them. She is so fun, personable and great with our kids. Highly recommend—and I can’t wait to make more memories with her.”

Vacation photographs without taking over the vacation

Vacation schedules already have enough moving parts. We’ll help choose an easy meeting place, a session length that fits the family and a time that gives you beautiful light without turning the day upside down.

Every Disney vacation looks different. Tell us where you’re staying, what you’re hoping for and whether you’re considering a park, resort or nearby Orlando setting. We’ll talk through the options for your dates before anything is booked.

Michelle Coombs, your family photographer
Michelle Coombs · Owner & photographerPhoto disclaimer: this was Michelle at her daughter’s wedding—the rare full-formal appearance. At your session, expect hair in a bun, absolutely zero makeup and a lot less glamour. Same Michelle, different dress code.

The person behind your photographs

Hi, I’m Michelle. We’ll make room for your real family.

Wife, mama, kid chaser and a straight shooter with a soft spot for a good laugh. For more than 15 years, we’ve photographed families around Orlando and Florida’s coast—and Michelle photographs every family session herself.

We’ll help with the location and outfits, give you clear direction, and adjust the pace when children need a moment. You can expect portraits of everyone together, smaller family combinations and the expressions that make these photographs yours.

For several households

Easy planning for immediate and extended families.

We’ll guide the group from one combination to the next so nobody has to organize the relatives while also trying to be in the photograph.

Tell us about wheelchairs, strollers, very young children, transportation and any dinner or park deadline. Those details help us make the session easier for everyone.

Disney-area resort family photography

Resort sessions work best when the location matches the pace of your trip.

We regularly photograph families around Disney-area resort stays and plan early-morning sessions around light, crowds, walking distance and the ages in your group.

Disney’s BoardWalk area

Waterfront architecture and walkable variety can create a polished resort gallery without moving the family between multiple locations.

Grand Floridian

Bright architecture, waterfront areas and refined resort details work especially well for classic family portraits.

Polynesian Village Resort

Tropical landscaping and resort pathways give families a warm vacation look with plenty of visual variety.

Riviera Resort

Clean architecture, landscaped spaces and European-inspired details can create a more polished editorial feel.

Saratoga Springs

Open resort grounds and quieter pockets can work well for families who want a relaxed setting away from the busiest areas.

Early mornings

Resort sessions are generally strongest early, when temperatures are easier, crowds are lighter and the day’s vacation plans have not started yet.

Resort access, photography rules and available meeting areas can change, so the final plan is confirmed for your specific stay and date.

Vacation planning

Helpful answers for planning your session.

Can we ask about photographs inside a Disney park or at a resort?

Absolutely. Send us the park or resort, your travel dates and what you have in mind. Access and photography rules can change, so we confirm the current options with you before anything is reserved.

Which Disney-area locations can we consider?

Depending on access and availability, we can discuss Disney parks and resorts along with Reunion, Evermore, Celebration, private vacation communities and other Orlando-area locations. We’ll help you choose what fits your trip best.

How much vacation time will the session take?

Family collections are 20, 40 or 60 minutes. We’ll help you choose the shortest option that still gives your family enough time for the people and groupings that matter most.

Can you photograph our extended family or reunion group?

Yes. Share the number of people and households before booking so we can recommend the right collection and organize the important groupings without taking over your vacation day.

What if our first-choice location is unavailable?

We’ll help you consider another Disney-area or Orlando location with a similar feel. The goal is to keep the session beautiful and easy even when property access or plans change.

Is Michelle Coombs Photography affiliated with Disney?

No. We are an independent photography business and are not affiliated with or endorsed by Disney. Any park or resort session remains subject to current property rules, access and approval requirements.

Choosing the setting

A gallery full of the people who made the trip special.

We’ll consider where everyone is staying, how far grandparents want to walk, children’s schedules and the amount of time your family wants to spend on photos before recommending a location.

Disney parks and resorts, Reunion, Evermore, Celebration and other Orlando-area settings each create a different look. We’ll help you narrow the possibilities based on your dates, your family and the kind of gallery you want.
