Fall Minis!!!

Every year, we come to this part of the summer and I think, “Dang, how are we here already???” But, here we are…. We’ve got some repeat options this year and a few new offerings as well. Hang in there till the end of this post for the newest Mini option this year!!

A little business right up front: this will be the last year that I will be offering Fall and Holiday Mini sessions at the same rate as previous years. Currently, investment for minis is:

$195 (plus 6% sales tax) - includes an online gallery and 5 digital images, with the option to view and purchase more.

Inflation is crazy. Everything is costing more and more and I’m trying really hard to balance keeping costs fair for my clients while also charging fair market value and covering my cost of doing business. Next year, all mini’s will start at $225. Just wanted to put out a fair warning for my loyal and long-term clients. I am so, so grateful for you and I hope that I can continue to document your memories and hold them still forever.

Ok, blah blah blah. Back to the THIS YEAR!

Field Sessions - September 27th-29th

I’m always obsessed with a great field for photos - so this year, I thought we’d pop into one to capture you and your family. These are perfect for families, couples and pets!! Cloudy or golden hour, I’m confident we can get some amazing images for you to hold on to and enjoy forever.

Overlook Park - October 11th and 13th

Overlook Park in Lancaster, PA is one of my favorite spots. The parks’ little magical tree grove always serves as the perfect backdrop for any type of session. This spot will be perfect for fall or dressing it up a bit for some holiday feels.

Fort Hunter - October 25th-27th

Always an old standby, Fort Hunter never disappoints. This is a great option if you’re looking to capture you and your family surrounded by all the Fall vibes.

Summer Creek Minis

Summer Creek Minis will go down in history as some of my very favorite sessions of all time. Picture you. You, the people you love, warm sunshine and crisp cool water. These sessions are my favorite because they’re really just me getting to capture you right now in this stage of life. There will be a few posed shots at the beginning of your session…

…but for the most part, prepare yourself and your fam to come, have fun, laugh a lot and get wet :) ALSO! These sessions aren’t just perfect for families with small children. Couples!?!? Senior sessions?? Where you at?? Scroll down to book!!

Click the button to reserve your spot!

Summer Creek Mini-sessions 195 (plus 6% sales tax) and are approximately 20 minutes in duration. All sessions include 10 complimentary digital images, and an online gallery. Options to order more digitals and prints is always available.

Choose your time on either June 19th, June 27th, July 3rd or July 24th. Please note: The BEST time to shoot is the hour right before sunset. I've opened up slots a little earlier than that incase you have kiddos that have early bed times - but would definitely recommend anything after 7. An invoice and contract will be sent to you within 24 hours to complete your booking.If you have any additional questions, please contact me! Looking forward to documenting these memories for you and your family!

Winter Creek Session

A lot of us shy away from doing sessions during the colder months - but why!!?!?! True confession: I’m kind of obsessed with them. It may be a little chilly, but we can still have a blast. Don’t put off a session waiting for warmth - capture the moments the way they are right now. I promise you won’t regret it.

We even managed to sneak some puddle jumping into our session!! It’s the little moments like this that make a shoot so memorable and exciting. Pro tip: embrace the random and the act of going off the cuff. They may just end up being some of your favorite images of the day.

Documenting Life Stages

One of my favorite aspects of the job is getting to journey through life with some of my amazing clients. I can't count how many friends I've made through this job, and am honored every time I get to document each new stage in their lives. 

This amazing girl was one of my first clients early on. After several mini-sessions with her and her amazing pup, I got the call that she was getting married. For their engagement session, they chose a location that was personal to them - a walking trail they had spent significant time on - and it served as the perfect back-drop for that session.

And then for their wedding.

And then for their next family session where they announced that they were growing their family of 3 by 2. :) 

There's some magical about watching love blossom and families grow. But getting to do it in the same spot each time has been incredible. 

And then I got to meet the sweet littles and - oh my heart - they are dear. Here's a few from their newborn session. Can't wait to share more moments with these two babes and their amazing family. 

Winter Family Session

Well - I jumped the gun on the spring session post earlier this week, eh???  This dreary, cold weather has me feeling like bundling up under a blanket, and sipping hot cocoa. You too?  Grab a warm cuppa and browse through these darling images taken on a cold, blustery day - much like this one. :) 

I've had the honor of photographing this GORGEOUS family 3 years in a row now, and every year, I'm so excited when we put the next date on the calendar. Somehow, every time it's freezing. But we always walk away with some stellar images - I mean - with 4 people this beautiful, how could we not??  Downtown Harrisburg served as the perfect backdrop for this family's session this year and I'm thrilled with the way these images came out!

Schedule your urban family session now!! Perfect for weather all year round.  Click here to get in touch with me!

M Family {family session}

You guys!  Spring officially begins this week and I, for one, could not be more excited. What says Spring more than rain boots, smiles, greenhouses, Queen Ann's Lace, a little bit o' sunshine and a whole lot of love?!?  So, let's ignore the snow in this week's forecast and enjoy the promise of warmer weather, sunny days and smiles.
