As a drummer, Luke wanted to incorporate one of his biggest passions into his senior portrait session, and we made it happen! It was such a fun way to make his session feel personal and unique to him. I always encourage my seniors to include the things that make you…YOU! Your interests, hobbies, sports, talents, and passions are all part of your story, and your senior session should reflect that.

Not sure what you want to include? Don’t worry — I’ll help guide you through the planning process and get you thinking about ideas that fit your personality and style. But if you simply want beautiful portraits, I’m here for that too!

Class of 2027 seniors…it’s officially time to reserve and start planning your senior session! Reach out to me at 717-991-7414 to start the process!

My girl 💗 I couldn’t be more proud of her many accomplishments throughout high school. In honor of the last week of high school EVER I’m going to share lots of the most beautiful images of my 2026 seniors including my very own . This is a very emotional time for moms walking in my shoes. I know we all can’t even believe we’re watching our babies glide through their very last week of high school. It’s bittersweet. I know there are so many wonderful things to come!

If you’re a class of 2027 senior… I’ve got a few June and August senior openings remaining! Please use the link in my bio or call 717-991-7414 to reach out and start planning!

A senior Saturday post dedicated to the two best friends that anyone could haveeee! I’ve watched these girls grow up together since the very start of elementary school. As Madalyn’s best friend, I adopted Juliana as one of my own early on because I knew she wasn’t going anywhere. 😂 She’s been so much a part of both of our lives that it only seemed fitting to document this friendship through some senior photos. They have been through thick and thin. Even surviving a school change and not going to the same high school. But it’s like nothing at all ever changed in their friendship. I’m so proud of both of you girls and I love you so very much. I can’t wait to see what your futures hold. ❤️

SIXTEEN YEARS! 🤍
Sixteen years of tiny newborn fingers.
Of growing families.
Of seniors stepping into their future.
Of mamas wanting to freeze time... just for a moment.
What started as a dream has become a legacy of serving families and preserving the moments that matter most.
To every client who trusted me with your babies, your milestones, your memories… thank you. Truly. This business exists because of you.
Sweet Sixteen feels less like a birthday and more like a reminder . A reminder that the work we do matters. That photographs become heirlooms. That time moves quickly, but memories don’t have to fade.
I look forward to watching your families grow and your kids grow up!. Here’s to continuing to serve this community with intention, heart, and beautiful tangible artwork for more years to come.
With love and gratitude,
Karissa 🤍

Can you believe this guy was almost 3 months old for his session?! He most definitely did not sleep like a newborn, but when I wrapped him right up and it was lights out! Ideally these types of shots are easiest in the first 10 days of a baby's life, but if you missed time frame that you should absolutely still reach out! We can still capture some very special memories that you will cherish forever!

There’s something so tender about watching your toddler love a baby they haven’t even met yet.
The belly kisses.
The giggles during story time.
The way they curl into you — still your baby, while you carry another.
In-home lifestyle maternity sessions are perfect for this beautifully chaotic season. Toddlers don’t have to sit still or “perform.” They can play, snuggle, wander, and come back for hugs while I quietly document the connection and anticipation filling your home.
These aren’t just maternity photos. They’re memories of your first baby becoming a big sibling and the quiet in-between moments before everything changes.
Because someday, you’ll look at these images and remember exactly what it felt like to wait for your newborn with a toddler in your arms.
If you’re expecting and want to preserve this fleeting chapter at home, reach out or visit the link in my bio to begin planning your session. 🤍
