Newborn-Maternity-Family and High School Senior Photographer in Mechanicsburg PA | 2019 year in review!

As a Newborn-Maternity-Family and High School Senior Photographer in Mechanicsburg PA 2019 was awesome! I’ve captured some of my most favorite images this year. I’ve snuggled, loved and photographed some of the most adorable babies in all of Central PA! I am totally sure of it! I’ve giggled with kiddos, ran around like a nut with toddlers, channeled my youthful soul while capturing high school senior pictures and watched my repeat client families grow up a little more this year. I mean, it will be hard for me to write this post without a few tears. Guys – this is not just my job. This is a genuine labor of love here. Some will say “you shouldn’t be emotionally connected to your job,” but I disagree. I do this with my whole heart. I look back on a year and feel so blessed to have crossed paths with each and every one of my clients. Some it was for the very first time and others who feel like they’ve become old friends. You guys are all gold to me. Every one of you holds a special place in this photographer’s heart of memories.

Now, for a moment of transparency…because, let’s be real-2019 wasn’t all sunshine, unicorns and glitter. It included some unexpected hurdles to jump at times- I guess you could say. This 2019 year required some serious faith to get through the things that are out of my control and the drive to conquer all that is within it. With those two things, the most amazing family, a few very close friends and a whole handful of the greatest clients any photographer could have – Here I am! Happy, healthy, and ready to take on 2020 and all it’s new adventures!

All of these moments that we turned into tangible, keepsake memories mean everything.

Not only to you, but to me. I have a genuine value for family and the people we love most. I know how much it will mean to you forever to have these memories of the babies,children, spouses and EVEN PUPPIES you love. Time will change us all. We’ll grow older as will our children. These moments you allowed me to capture for you are frozen forever. That is priceless. Thank you for trusting me to capture these memories for you this year. Thank you for allowing me to guide you through this process and allow me to help you choose tangible, heirloom artwork for your home so that your children’s children will have these special family memories. They’ll be just as important to you decades from now as they are today!

Let’s talk about 2020!

As we say goodbye to 2019 it’s important to plan for the future! Silly resolution time, I know! But, I’m excited! I’ve got big plans for the new year and I’m looking forward to connecting with all of you who will be a part of it! I will, however, be scheduling limited sessions each month. This keeps me on my A game so that I can give each of you a personal and custom portrait experience. Most important, I’m a mom myself, so being present for my daughter is my biggest priority. I’m all about “being the best version of ourselves” and a good start for me is by not overfilling my plate. I want to give everyone I care about the best version of me! So, with that being said…plan, plan, plan ahead! Yep, I know…lots of us a procrastinators, but it’s best to book your session several months in advance! If you’re expecting a baby this year – it is best to schedule your newborn session before your 3rd trimester. That way, all is set when baby arrives! Newborn session openings fill FAST! If you’re thinking ahead to spring and summer – now is a great time to get the planning started! It is MY MOST FAVORITE time of the year for family photography! Absolutely, positively the most beautiful time of the year! And Fall…welll….i’m still recovering from the past few months. We’ll revisit the idea of fall again soon! Hahaha!

Let’s chat about your family!

I’d love to chat about what makes your family special and how we can capture that for you. I’ll sit down with you and carefully plan all the details to how we will photograph your special people. I’ll walk you through my entire portrait process. Send me a quick message HERE to get in touch with me!

Harrisburg PA Family Photos Spring and Summer sessions!

As a Family Photographer, Harrisburg PA Family Photos in Spring and Summer are my FAVORITE! Once we get a little taste of some warmer weather I am itching to get back outside and start shooting again! We decided to choose a location with lots of spring blooms for this cute family. It was their first portrait session as a family of 3! I know you will agree, this little guy has THE BEST hair! I mean, just look at all of that crazy dark hair blowing in the wind! It seems like little boys always get all the luck when it comes to eye lashes and hair!

Laura and Joe | Mechanicsburg Pa Maternity Photographer

As a Mechanicsburg Pa maternity photographer, I think it’s so special when couples want to capture and preserve the memories of this time leading up to the arrival of the new little life they created.

I met Laura and Joe this spring for a consultation to plan their maternity and newborn sessions.  They are seriously the cutest, most fun couple, and oh so deserving of the beautiful baby they were getting ready to welcome.  Laura suggested her back yard as the setting for their maternity photos. When I arrived for their session I knew she made a great choice. It was perfect!

I absolutely loved this session and their images. I loved working with Laura and Joe to capture this special time in their lives.  This is a time you can’t get back.  There is truly no better way to remember your pregnancy than to capture it through portraits. Maternity photography will allow you to look back on this moment forever.

Let’s work together to plan your custom maternity and newborn photography sessions. Planning ahead is best! The ideal time to have your maternity portraits photographed is between week 35 and 37 of your pregnancy.  Send me a message so that we can plan to capture and preserve your most special memories!
