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.

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!

What a treat it is to photograph a family through both pregnancy and the newborn stages. Aiden is such a sweet baby and is so adored by his momma and daddy. I LOVED the outfits that his momma chose for herself and baby from the Studio Illume client closet
