My Maternity | Maternity Photographer Harrisburg, Pa

So, I am feeling quite nostalgic today.  (don't we all, at some point?)

My son- known fondly for the duration of my maternity as "D2" {don't worry, children of the 90s, you don't have to jump up and get into the Flying V!}, now known as Arlowe Lake, will be turning 4 months old tomorrow.

O.O  <---- my face when I realized this, just this morning.

*sigh*

He had a bit of a rough night, as did his sweet big sister- yikes, double whammy. 

So, this morning, as I sat in the infinitely comfortable rocker with the little 15 pounder that has completely stolen my heart, my mind was racing through all of those reels of late-night feedings, snuggles, sleepy sighs, precious little lips, eye lashes.... I think I could *literally* go on forever about baby features.

What's the point, right?

Well.  None, really, other than I was thinking how quickly babies grow (way too quickly, right?) and how this session that is next on the blog agenda is about 3 months shy of a year old already!  I can't believe that this time last year we were meeting with the nurses and doctors at Women's Health, full of excitement and anticipation, for adding a new addition to our family.  What a quick, quick journey my pregnancy became for our family!

Ahh, now *here* is the tie-in to the session I am about to share with you! 

Thanks for spending a moment, walking down my nostalgic memory lane with me this morning. :)

I knew I wanted to do a beach maternity session for myself and what better time than when our family (my father-in-law, sister-in-law and her husband, 3 nieces and nephews, along with my sweet family of 3 at the time) vacationed in Wildwood Crest, NJ?

So, off my sweet little family goes to find the *perfect* spot for this maternity session.

Now, let's get down to the questions you probably have.

Do you travel?  Yes I travel.  :)

PUHLEEEZE take me along on your fun family vacations, so I can document all of your memories and adventures, all worry-free!  :)

Are you really going to show who is behind the camera? Yes, you will get a little peek at the chic behind the camera. :)

Yes, again, as I said on Facebook, quite some time ago, it is *really* hard to pick out pictures of yourself to share with the world, but when it comes to gorgeous and beautiful clients, they make it *so* easy!  

Enjoy.




 I couldn't post about my maternity session, without posting a picture of my gorgeous baby girl. :)  Gosh, I love this kid's smile. <3

Rafe: 18 Months | Children's Photographer Harrisburg, Pa

Guess who is the big 1-8....months that is?!  Rafe, that's who!! :)

I have had the pleasure of knowing Rafe and his sweet mama since his 1st birthday party. {check it out here!}

He is such a little gentleman and has grown SO much in just 6 short months!

I hope you enjoy Rafe's mommy and me/18 months pictures as much as I did hanging out with him and his mama.  Enjoy.

 I just love this next image.  Soooo much love and sweetness.  A mama and her son.  *big puffy heart sigh*  I love my job.

Shughart Boys | Family Photographer Hershey, Pa

I find myself regularly saying this about my regular clients:  I cannot get over how much a child (of any age) can grow in just a short year!

These boys are no different than any other set of siblings I have photographed this fall- all growing WAY too quickly (I know mom will agree with this!).

Here are a few images from their session- Enjoy!
