A Magical Disney Maternity Shoot at Magic Kingdom and Resorts ✨
Maternity shoot at Disney’s French Quarter in Orlando FL
There are few places in the world where the magic of childhood lingers into adulthood quite like Disney World. For one expecting mother, Disney has always been a place of joy, wonder, and timeless memories. Now, as she prepares to welcome her first child, she wanted her maternity session with Mae Photography to capture that same magic—so one day, her baby can grow up with the same traditions, the same joy, and the same sparkle in their eyes.
We began the shoot at the Magic Kingdom entrance by the train station, the very gateway where every Disney adventure begins. This nostalgic landmark was the perfect backdrop for maternity portraits—symbolizing not only the start of a day at Disney, but the start of a new chapter in motherhood.
From there, our journey through Disney’s resorts unfolded like chapters of a storybook:
Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter: With its charming New Orleans–inspired streets, this resort was whimsical and full of character. We even stopped for a warm, powdered beignet—a fan-favorite treat—and photographed it as part of the maternity session. The beignet became a sweet detail that symbolized Disney’s simple joys.
Disney’s BoardWalk: We photographed both outside on the scenic waterfront and inside its elegant halls. Outdoors, the colorful and lively atmosphere brought playful energy. Indoors, the refined design gave us elevated, timeless images that balanced fun with sophistication.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa: One of Disney’s most iconic destinations, the Grand Floridian gave us timeless, fairy-tale images. In front of its stunning Victorian-inspired architecture, our expecting mother radiated like a Disney princess. The elegance and grandeur of this location made the portraits feel both romantic and unforgettable.
Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort: With golden light, warm tones, and Spanish-style arches, this resort gave us editorial-style images that closed the day beautifully. The combination of culture and elegance made it the perfect final chapter to this maternity journey.
Each location carried its own unique magic, but together they told a single story: a mother holding onto the Disney traditions she grew up with, preparing to pass them down to her child.

Disney World is more than a destination—it’s a tradition passed down through generations. For parents-to-be, it represents everything they loved as children, now made even more meaningful as they prepare to see it again through their child’s eyes.
