Mechanicsburg, PA Photographer
“Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.”
Hi! I'm Karissa Zimmer, a Mechanicsburg, PA photographer specializing in custom newborn, baby, maternity, family, and high school senior photography sessions.
I STRONGLY BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF PRINTED PHOTOGRAPHS
In today’s fast-paced digital world, we often forget the impact of seeing a family photo noticeably displayed in the heart of our home or a lovingly tattered album kept out for our children to enjoy and one day passes down to their children.
As a full-service Mechanicsburg photographer, I specialize in creating images for display in your home in the form of custom, archival quality products. Above all, I want to give you the ability to relive the wonderful moments of your life over and over again, forever. I will create and provide you with images that you want to fill your home with and will pass on for generations to come. I believe it is my job as your photographer to walk you through the entire portrait process from consultation to delivery and installation of your wall portraits.

Karissa Zimmer is a Harrisburg PA photographer based in Mechanicsburg, specializing in full-service newborn, maternity, family, and high school senior photography. Karissa is passionate about people, life, love, and family and whole-heartedly believes in the necessity to capture life's swiftly passing moments and phases.

Hi, I'm Karissa!
With nearly 15 years experience as a professional Harrisburg PA newborn and family photographer, I have worked with babies, children and families of all ages and sizes, telling each very special story though portraits.
