It’s such a joy to be a newborn photographer and meet all of these little ones during their first moments. Braeden may have dark hair, especially in stark contrast to his big sister and her very light blonde hair, but his parents say that she looked the same at that age! From dark brown hair […]

Courtney and Joey have done a little traveling and so it was fitting that we had a Hawk Mountain engagement session, where we had some STUNNING views (even with all of the Canadian smoke floating back into the area). Courtney wore a dress she bought in Spain and the two looked just perfect! I always […]

To say that I had fun styling and photographing Sienna’s floral newborn session would be an understatement! I love my job as a newborn photographer and styling flowers always is a fun addition (YOU could book one, too!). It was a pleasure to work with Lesley and Brian to make their vision come to life […]

Each year since the opening of my motherhood studio in Lancaster, PA (lovingly called Studio Illume), I have hosted floral sessions each year in honor of Mother’s day. I decided this year would be a little bit different. I decided that I would take on the floral design myself (when in the past, I have […]

Katrina and Chip just happened to schedule their session for the day after my Motherhood Event, so we took full advantage of all of the flowers and the backdrop I put together. Let’s be real, though. It was these two that made the session pure magic. I am so thrilled to be photographing their wedding […]

Nicole and Andrew’s Longwood Gardens engagement session was just a little over a year until their big day, and how amazing are their outfits?! I loved the contrasting blacks and whites, which are reminiscent of what they will wear on their wedding day. There are flowering trees near where they will be celebrating, so we […]

Alexa and I first met years ago when we collaborated on a styled shoot together involving her husband’s handcrafted farmhouse tables that they were renting for weddings. Now Alexa is pursuing a new venture in real estate! Best wishes, friend! I know you will do amazing in this next phase of life!

I know personally how as a mom you don’t often end up in photographs with your children. You are the one always taking the picture, so you don’t often end up in pictures yourself. But mommas, I’m here to tell you that it is important. Years down the road your children will want pictures of […]

This is baby number three for Steph and Jeff and the third time that I have been blessed to photograph their tiny babies. In the past, I have photographed their babies at their home, but this time they opted for a studio newborn session. What a joy either way! Madeline Jane is so precious. Congratulations […]

I don’t normally recommend engagement sessions during the colder months, but occasionally couples request them and these two made it look SO good! Olivia and Richard, you two are so sweet together and I cannot wait for your wedding day!
