magical moments

 

There is nothing better than sisters. When we get together there is always love, laughter and if we're lucky sometimes even a little pixie dust. Spending time recently at Walt Disney World for the first time during Disney Social Media Moms Celebration was a dream come true. Upon arrival to the Magic Kingdom, our inner child(ren) was awakened and we were instantly transported back to being young girls. Giggly, happy, enchanted little sisters embarking on a magical journey together just like we did growing up at Disneyland. When childhood wishes are granted, with the help of a fairy godmother you can't help but to believe. Believe in the magic of family. Believe in the magic of Disney. Believe in the magic of the moment.

Words and photo essay courtesy of Jessica Fuselier and Becky Silke, 2 of the three sisters of Disney Sisters. Sisters, as in real live sisters, by birth. The third sister? That would be me. I had to miss the sister trip to Walt Disney World but reading this story and seeing these pictures really made me wish I hadn't! Sniff sniff. There's just something about Disney Magic...and sisters...swoon.

I can't tell you how excited I was to have my sisters share their images here like this as our first official photo essay. Yes, we're kicking off a new feature here at Shutter Sisters. Photo essays. So fun! If you've got a collection of 6 images you'd like to see featured here as a photo essay, give us a shout. We love hearing from you and sharing your work.

As for today, let's see your magical moments, Disney and beyond. You know, those moments that make you feel like a kid again. Don’t you just love those?

P.S. Tag your images #ssmoment.

A magical moment last night ... just before bed time and alone outside with one of my four little ones (the one who so often seems to get stuck in the middle). Time with just one of them is rare and precious right now. It was a quiet and peaceful gift at the end of a chaotic and noisy day. Magic.

As a die-hard (borderline obsessed!) Disney fan and photographer, let me just say that I *love* this post!

I love sister-time:

My two sisters, me, and our families have an annual overnight outing to a state park.
We have been doing this for 15+ years:

It's not magical in the Disney sense,
but magical in our hearts.
The Disney trip will be remembered forever.
Which is the point.

Those pictures are amazing! We are Disneyland nuts (going on average at least once a week for the last few years), but have yet to make it to Disney World. But we're working on fixing that! :)

Beautiful - both photos AND text. You remind me of how much I enjoy traveling with MY sister.

Your photos are so beautiful! I felt like a young girl when my long-term friend, like a sister to me, came to visit this past weekend. We slipped back into fun conversations, jokes and commiserating. It is so nice to know someone for so long and develop a shared history.

My post doesn't capture the beauty of the moment with photography and I didn't have time to get too personal, in-depth, but my friend's visit really cheered me up and made me feel young again.

I love that we can capture these moments with a camera. The other morning I was driving along the beach and I had to stop with just my i-phone to snag the magic
