Welcome

Welcome to my online journal of living life in wonder! This little piece of the internet is for me to share client sneak peeks, important announcements, and occasionally a snapshot into my own life. Enjoy the innocence, joy, and wonder of my favorite little people and their families.

Is there anything sweeter than the love of a big sister?

“You know you’re in love when you don’t want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” ~Dr. Seuss

This beautiful family is finally able to enjoy their dream come true after many years of waiting. Nathan was an absolute doll baby for me and his parents are head over heels in love with him. After spending a couple hours with him I can understand why.

Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy!

Wanna see the guy that stole my heart this morning?

Palmyra Newborn PhotographerSigh…. be still my warm & fuzzy heart! I had to stop myself from smothering him with kisses during our time together this morning. Maybe being trapped inside for a few days because of the snow had something to do with it.  But really, aren’t his little smushy lips irresistible?

Avalyn {Camp Hill Baby Photographer}

I am thankful that a picture paints a thousand words because I can’t find the right ones for this sweet girl. I hope my heart shines through them.

Charlotte Louise {Palmyra Newborn Photographer}

I love the name her parents chose for their little princess.  Her name and delicate features remind me of a little southern belle. She made us work for her newborn portraits, but I adore the results.  Welcome to the world sweet baby girl!

The story of your life {Camp Hill Newborn Photographer}

I found this song and wanted to share these powerful words.

WHAT I WOULD TELL HER:

(If I knew what to say.)
You are a miracle.
And I have to love you this fiercely: So that you can feel it even after you leave for school, or even while you are asleep,or even after your childhood becomes a memory. You’ll forget all this when you grow up.  But it’s okay.
Being a mother means having your heart broken.
And it means loving and losing and falling apart and coming back together.
And it’s the best there is.  And also, sometimes, the worst.
Sometimes you won’t have anyone to talk to.
Sometimes you’ll wonder if you’ve forgotten who you are.
But you must remember this:  What you’re doing matters.
And you have to be brave with your life so that others can be brave with theirs.
The truth is, being a woman is a gift.  Tenderness is a gift.  Intimacy is a gift. And nurturing the good in this world is a nothing short of a privilege.
That’s why I have to love you this way.  So I can give what I have to you.  So that you can carry it in your body and pass it on.
I have watched you sleep.  I’ve kissed you a million times.  And I know something that you don’t, yet:
You are writing the story of your only life every single minute of every day.
And my greatest hope for you, sweet child, is that I can teach you how to write a good one.

Lila Annabelle {Central PA Newborn Photographer}

Lila is such a dainty baby girl and is already quite vocal. She made so many noises for such a little peanut, she had me laughing her entire session! I can’t wait to see how her personality develops as she grows.

Declan | Camp Hill Newborn Photographer

Declan couldn’t wait to make his entrance into the world and was born 5 weeks early. He was such a sweet baby to photograph, and barely let out a peep during his entire session. Welcome to the world sweet baby boy!

Chase 6 days old | Central PA Newborn Photographer

I had been anticipating Chase’s arrival ever since I met his beautiful mama for her maternity portraits.  He’s such a handsome little guy with his spiky blond hair and his daddy’s dimples. Welcome to the world sweet baby boy, we are so glad you are finally here!
