  • Lifestyle Newborn - A La Carte

    My Lifestyle Newborn session is simply you in your home, or wherever you feel most comfortable. I understand that some Mama’s don’t want to leave their homes at all during those first few weeks, but I also know that for others the thought of having to host a photo session in your house while so newly postpartum feels so incredibly over whelming. I want to make this sweet, but fleeting time, one of the best memories you have to look back on. I want to capture the big moments, the tiny details, and all of the in between. I recommend this session to take place within the first 14 days of baby’s life, but accommodations can be made if necessary to simplify things for you! I will do anything within my power to make these photos some of the sweetest you’ve ever seen, but it is equally as important to me that the memories you have taking them are just as sweet! The allotted time for my Lifestyle Newborn session is up to 90 minutes to ensure you all are stress free and have plenty of time for the inevitable feedings, diapering’s, or adorable baby freak outs! The investment starts off at $460 + tax. Additional charges can be assessed for additional time and/or long distance travel.

  • Fresh 48 - A La Carte

    A Fresh 48 session is taken while still in the hospital typically within the first 48 hours of your baby’s life. This session focuses on you, your partner, and your sweet new baby and has an allotted time of up to 90 minutes. You get to soak in the new-ness of this precious life you just brought into this world - like an absolute rockstar might I add - while I focus on pausing those fleeting moments in time for you to cherish forever. I’ll capture the big obvious moments like you snuggled up with your little babe, but I’ll also get the small details like their tiny toes. The investment for a Fresh 48 session starts of at $460 + tax. Additional charges can be assessed for additional time and/or long distance travel.

  • Alternative School Photos

    This is an option for schools of any type for their typical “picture day” who would like to move away from the larger companies and would like to make a switch to a small local business! If this sounds like you, contact me for pricing and contract information.

FAQs

  • Ready to make this season of your life last forever and make some sweet memories while doing so? Great, I can't wait to meet you!!! In order to book your session or package simply reach out via my contact form and I'll provide you my client agreement to fill out and at that time the 50% deposit will be due (unless otherwise specified in your package description). Super simple!

  • I am based in South Central, PA, but I service all around the PA/MD border! I am also open to traveling, but extra charges may apply.

  • Yes, PLEASE DO! I love when families bring their doggo(s), I just recommend that you bring an extra person along to take care of pup(s) for when we are getting photos without them.

  • Each package has a specified photo count, so make sure to check the description of whichever package you may be interested in! However, I tend to overshoot and in turn over-edit, so typically I’ll upload more than the minimum guaranteed amount. Each unique image come in color and black and white.

  • You will receive an online gallery link with your images within 3 weeks guaranteed. Despite the three week guarantee, I am normally able to finish and deliver full galleries within a week. Sneak peeks are usually posted on social media and sent directly to you within two to three days.

  • If we are unable to have your session due to rain, snow, or any other weather related situation I will work with you to reschedule. There are also indoor venue options that we could explore as well.

  • I completely understand that sometimes things happen! If you need to reschedule simply reach out and I will do my best to work with your schedule. Your deposit will simply be transferred to your next session. However, if you cancel within 24 hours or do a “no call no show” your deposit will be non-refundable and I will require an additional deposit for any future sessions. Some exceptions do apply.

  • I will offer styled sessions, aka sessions that have a staged set up with props, once or twice a year during the holiday season. These will have limited slots and will be advertised in advance. They will be considered a mini session, but will have an additional cost due to the cost of staging. If you have a specific idea for your own styled session I'd be happy to help make your vision come to life, but extra charges may be applied on top of the normal session fee. Let's chat about it!
