Imagine this: You have booked a session with your dream photographer, but when you arrive to your session your toddler is just not having it. Your child cries, clings to you, and wants absolutely nothing to do with the camera. While the photographer tries to engage your child, they are just not responding. It’s all […]

One of the biggest questions that I am asked by clients is where to find a dress for their session. I want the process of styling your session to be as stress-free as possible, and your choice to make you feel absolutely beautiful during your session. That’s why the client closet exists, but I also […]

This newborn baby girl made her much anticipated arrival and her parents are absolutely in love, as they should be! Little Camryn was born the perfect little bundle and with a head full of long hair. Her mom, whose maternity session I shared not long ago, chose to bring fresh flowers to their session. I […]

I am honestly shocked that it took me this long to share more from Laura and Jackie’s wildflower pregnancy announcement! I first met this sweet couple for their wedding day, where Laura was dressed in the most beautiful red traditional gown. Fast forward to last summer, Laura reached out shortly after she found out that […]

As promised, part two of some very floral sessions! Raphaela is adored by her whole family, especially her big brother! He loves and takes of his baby sister so well. This lovely family came to the studio after the newborn session with little Brynna. I wanted to show clients that we can make their milestone […]

It’s always a good day when we choose one of the following for your session! Read on below to see some of the best locations for photographing […]

And just like that.. little Aaron was born! This little man made his arrival just weeks after Louise and Zach’s maternity session (which you can see posted here). He is just as perfect as we all had imagined and is adored by everyone around him! He spent nearly all of his newborn session being the […]

I have a special place in heart for this Lancaster maternity session featured below. It feels like yesterday that I was photographing their wedding, but now they have been married for TWO years and they just had the most precious little newborn boy. These two chose not to find out if their baby was a […]

Courtney is the momma of five sweet boys, and Camden is her youngest little one. We met at Kauffman’s Orchard in Ronks, PA during peak bloom in the apple trees for an orchard newborn session (though he was probably 5 months by that time). I am not sure that anything more lovely exists! Rows upon […]

This is Emma’s second studio maternity session at Studio Illume, and yet again she looks absolutely lovely! I first met this sweet family while she was pregnant with her first son, Aiden. This time around Aiden is SO big and a big brother! It is so cute to see him running around as a toddler. […]
