from bump to baby and beyond
turning life's magic moments into your favorite memories
harrisburg pa photographer
As a mom, I know how fast these days go. My goal is to create effortless, luxury photography experiences that result in images you'll proudly display in your home for generations.
I know first hand just how quickly time passes. I also understad how hard it can feel to get photos scheduled, find the right clothes, and pump everyone up to cooperate for photos. That's where my expertise and guidance as a photographer (and a mom) comes in to make the entire process as simple as reaching out to me. You take the first step, and I'll take lead on the rest.

Looking for mini sessions?
Most days, you barely have a second to breathe, let alone plan a photo session. The outfits, the timing, hoping the kids cooperate…it’s a lot.
But you deserve to be in the frame, too.
