  • Kiddo Lifestyle | Mikayla at 7 months

  • { 7 months already! Where has the time gone? } Sleeping: Mikayla is now sleeping through the night (or waking once for a nursing occasionally). I think ever since she figured out that she could sleep on her belly... she's been sleeping so much better. At first I was totally nervous to watch her flip onto her belly w[...]
  • 1st Birthday | Elanor

  • This little lady turned 1 & celebrated with family who came from near & far. She opened presents, played with the wrapping paper, got messy with her cupcake, giggled & had lots of smiles. Her Mommy & Daddy did a fabulous job decorating & prepping the food. Happy Birthday Elanor! So glad I could be t[...]
  • Tails + Paws | Diesel Turns 2!

  • Another year older... another reason to be the crazy dog lady who bakes her pup a special birthday cake. His favorite treats are ice cubes, carrots & peanut butter. Unfortunately, we were out of carrots since I just pureed a bunch for his sister. So this year,  I subbed out the carrots for apples & bananas. I a[...]
  • Mikayla's First Easter

  • Bunny ears, bunny tails, lamb ears... the things you do to babies for the seasons & holidays. I'm big on the themes, what can I say. I think that the next time I do another shoot of little Miss M, I'll wait until my husband or my Mom is around to help assist. I had sweat dripping off of me by the end of this fia[...]
  • Kiddo Lifestyle | Mikayla at 4 months

  • So... my camera was unfortunately broken (needed a new circuitboard) since the beginning of the new year. Canon finally returned it to me fixed... therefore, beware the upcoming baby spam. I was going crazy not being able to capture high quality photos of my daughter the last 2 months. Thank goodness I had it for wh[...]
  • Maternity | Kevin & Emily

  • I was super excited to shoot in an urban environment, since I haven't had the opportunity to do so in a while. This couple will soon be meeting their little girl in a few weeks! The name is to be a surprise :) It was a blustery, cold, winter Saturday unfortunately. I had them strip down from their coats at each new loc[...]
  • Family + Newborn | Olsen Family

  • Our family welcomed yet another wee one in 2014. Meet Dominic Matthew Olsen. :) He sure is handsome, and such an angel. He sleeps so well for his mommy & daddy, and seems to be very easy-going. I'm finding that I truly enjoy lifestyle sessions & want to focus primarily on these moving forward. I asked Laurie if[...]
  • Family + Newborn | Sauder Family

  • I can't believe my niece is already 4 weeks old! Where does the time go. Life has been so very crazy busy lately, that I haven't been able to spend much time with her at all unfortunately. I did however have the opportunity to spend some time with my sister-in-law, her husband Colton & their new addition last we[...]
  • Family + Newborn | Lauren, Devonair, Aliyah and Baby Desmond

  • Lauren works with me at JPL, so I've watched her grow on this wonderful journey. Baby Desi finally arrived :) We met up at Fort Hunter, on front street in Harrisburg, for a family session with her adorable little ones. The weather was perfect, all except for some pesky gnats. I guess that's what you get when shootin[...]
  • Family | Ryan, Brittany & Claire

  • Claire just turned 1. Her mom spent weeks and weeks creating handcrafted decor for her birthday party, and unfortunately I couldn't attend, due to… wait for it… a birth class. A birth class which my husband and I both wish we wouldn't have paid for and had skipped. But that's a whole different story. It was insanely[...]
  • Mommy & Me | Rita & Gavin

  • This was my first "Mommy & Me" session, and I can't wait to do more! A whole session dedicated to capturing the love between a little boy & his mommy. Angie, Rita's sister gifted this photo session which is such a wonderful idea. Gavin was so happy & gave us plenty of smiles throughout. There was one poi[...]
  • Tails + Paws | "Puppy" Diesel Turns 1!

  • It's been a day of reminiscing. Looking back through photos & videos of when our German Shepherd/Rottie pup was well… a puppy. He used to be so very tiny. I'll never forget the day that Rob & I drove 1.5 hrs to a parking lot, and waited with an empty leash in hand, among other eager soon-to-be puppy parents. I [...]
