Contemporary Resort - Magical Shops of Fantasia | DISNEY PHOTOGRAPHY by Rachel Abrahams

In all my trips to Disney, I have never truly explored the Contemporary Resort.

We’ve eaten breakfast there once many moons ago and I’ve ridden through the resort on the monorail countless times, but this evening we decided to have dinner there. I had no idea how many underground floors there were! There is a whole world hidden inside this resort and it’s on many different lower floors for exploration. It was really cool AND I learned the true entrance to the hotel is actually a floor below this one where all the shops are.Summer is coming and I am just not a fan of being at Disney during the summer and standing in line for an hour (or more!) melting into a puddle of sunblock and Mickey Mouse shaped ice cream.  BUT I was invited on a weekend, all expenses paid, trip to Disney. So, am I going to say no because of the above complaints? No way - time to break out the sunblock and ice cream!The good news is that being a Disney pro means knowing all the insider tips/tricks and also realizing that since we live close enough if we don't see/do something we can come back next time with our passes.I am super *stoked* about getting more Disney shots. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions of what you'd like to see a picture of at Disney? Doesn't matter the park - our passes let us go anywhere we please!

Walking Amongst the Shadows | NYC PHOTOGRAPHY by Rachel Abrahams

When I look at this picture, I always think of the childhood sing-song "step on a crack, break your mother's back". I think it's because of the line breaks on the sidewalk from both the tree shadows as well as the hand rails. If that saying is true, then it looks like this guy hit the triple jack pot.

Poor mom. She's probably in traction now because her son didn't mind the cracks.

No Trespassing: $500,00 Reward | FLORIDA PHOTOGRAPHY by Rachel Abrahams

You wouldn't believe me when I say this photo session began with watching an escaped herd of cows be herded back to their home by a station wagon honking it's horn, then I wandered around a 132 yr. old graveyard, and ended the twilight hour by finding this abandoned square building.

I honestly thought a random homeless person might pop out to scare me half to death, just for kicks. 

After taking this, I pretty much ran back to my car having scared myself with my own over-active imagination.
