The Piccirillo Family | Disney World Family Photographer

I was lucky enough to spend the day before Thanksgiving with this adorable little family, and I don't even know where to begin?!  Little Miss Zuzu stole my heart immediately, though I can't say the feeling was mutual. ;)  In fact, Erika told me beforehand they'd recently learned Zuzu was afraid of the camera and so they were a little apprehensive over how she would handle my presence.  Let's just say it took her a few minutes (and a trip to the Confectionary) to warm up to me. 

Also, you guys, this was their first trip!  As in, neither Mark or Erika had been to Disney World since they were kids themselves.  Erika thinks it may be about three years before they're back again, considering they're going to have two so close in age.  But I have a feeling Mark and Zuzu may wear her down before then!

I have so many favorite moments from our time together, but a quick stop in the Emporium before wrapping up might be at the very top.  Zuzu was given free reign to pick anyone she pleased, and my heart nearly exploded when she went straight for classic Minnie Mouse!  And lest I forget her feelings about my camera, she was sure to remind me with some serious side-eye when I asked for one last family photo on my way out.  Zuzu, you're absolutely adorable.

Erika and Mark, thank you so much for inviting me to capture your first trip to Walt Disney World.  I loved every minute.
