🎄✨ Christmas in July is almost here! ✨🎄

I know... it's only June 7. But if you're anything like me, Christmas photos sneak up on you every single year.

This year's holiday lineup will include some returning favorites, including:

🎄 Christmas PJ Minis
🎅 A visit from the big man in red himself
📚 Storytime snuggles with favorite stuffies
✨ Timeless holiday memories you'll pull out year after year

The best part? Christmas in July booking opens July 1st, and newsletter subscribers will get first access before dates are announced publicly.

These sessions sell out every year, so if Christmas photos are on your must-do list for 2026, now is the time to get on the list.

🎁 Join my newsletter and be the first to know when booking opens on July 1st.

Trust me... future-you in November will be very grateful. 😉🎄

What kind of milestone photographer would I be if I skipped photographing our youngest's first birthday? 🎂🐾

Auggie turns ONE today, so naturally he got his very own cake smash session.

In true one-year-old fashion, he hated his birthday hat, Dad spent most of the session chasing him around the studio, and he wanted absolutely nothing to do with his cake. We eventually resorted to bribery with Goldfish crackers, which honestly felt very on brand for a first birthday session. 😂

The whole thing was basically identical to photographing a toddler cake smash, just with a little more fur and a lot more zoomies.

We're so grateful for this sweet boy and all the joy he's brought to our family this past year.

Happy 1st Birthday, Auggie! 🎉 Let's Pawty! 🐶🎂🤍

Big sister to be had exactly zero interest in photos that night, and honestly? Same energy as most toddlers I meet.

But here's the thing about little ones at a session. We do not need them to perform. With a lot of patience, a few well timed snacks, some redirection, and a whole lot of snuggles from mom and dad, we still walked away with a gallery this family will keep forever. Sometimes the best frames happen right after the meltdown, when she finally leans in to smell a flower or reaches for her mama's hand.

This mama glowed in both looks, that sparkly blush gown and the olive dress that hugged the bump just right. Golden hour did the rest.

So if you are pregnant and dreading the "but my kid will never cooperate" part, take a breath. That is my job, not yours. We roll with it together.

Summer maternity dates in Central PA are open now. The sweet spot is 28 to 34 weeks, so if you are due late summer or fall, let's get you on the calendar.

Client Testimonial:
"Kate has done multiple photoshoots for our family, and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She makes the entire experience seamless and stress-free from start to finish. From her streamlined process to her thoughtfully curated wardrobe options, everything is designed to make the session easy and enjoyable.

Kate has a natural way of putting you at ease, making the shoot feel fun and relaxed rather than posed or forced. And the photos are always stunning—her work truly speaks for itself. If you’re considering booking a photoshoot, Kate is the one. You won’t be disappointed!"

Pregnancy is exhausting enough.

You deserve an experience where you don't have to stress about outfits, locations, posing, or details. Just show up, let me take care of the rest, and leave with images you'll treasure forever. 🤍

Pregnancy can feel endless when you're in it.

You're uncomfortable. You're tired. You're counting down the days until you can see your feet again.

But then one day, the kicks stop. The hiccups stop. The anticipation is over. The baby you've been carrying for months is suddenly in your arms.

And while every stage that follows is beautiful, there are little pieces of pregnancy that you'll miss more than you expected.

The quiet moments. The tiny movements. The feeling of having them all to yourself.

That's why maternity photos are about so much more than documenting a baby bump. They're about remembering a chapter of your story that disappears in the blink of an eye.

If you're expecting, save this post for later. 🤍

I honestly cannot believe Quinn is finishing kindergarten. 🥹

This girl is such a joy. She is funny, dramatic, confident, silly, and absolutely bursting with personality. My biggest hope for her is that she never loses that spark. I hope she never stops dancing through the kitchen, putting on little performances, making people laugh, and finding joy in the ordinary moments.

This year I watched her try so many new things. From stepping onto a soccer field for the first time to facing swim lessons, she approached it all with a smile and a bravery that made me so proud. She doesn't always know if she'll be good at something, but she tries anyway.

Watching her grow up has healed parts of me that I always knew needed healing. I grew up with a critical voice in my head, always worried about getting things wrong. Watching Quinn move through the world with confidence, excitement, and the freedom to simply try has been one of the greatest gifts of motherhood. It reminds me every day how important it is for our kids to have someone in their corner.

I hope I can always be that supportive voice for her. I hope long after she leaves my house, my voice is still in her head reminding her that she is capable, kind, loved, and brave enough to try new things. I hope she carries that with her everywhere she goes.

For now, though, I'll just sit here wondering how my baby is already a kindergarten graduate. 🤍

Everyone talks about pregnancy. Not nearly enough people talk about what happens after baby arrives.

From night sweats to postpartum hair loss to the fact that you may still look pregnant for weeks after delivery, there are so many completely normal things that can catch new moms off guard. Number 9 was especially true for me! It took 5 years after my daughter to go back to my "OG" size!

If you're expecting, save this post for later. If you've already been through postpartum, what surprised you the most?

Let's help prepare the next generation of moms for what's actually coming. 🤍

Happy Due Date, Elliana! 💕

This sweet girl had other plans and decided to make her grand entrance early back in March. Now that she's home, growing, and settling into life with her family, we finally got to celebrate her arrival with a newborn session this past weekend.

One of my favorite parts of the session was watching her proud big siblings absolutely light up around her. The love was obvious, and it's safe to say she's already got a very dedicated protection squad looking out for her. 🥹

Welcome to the world, sweet girl. You are so loved already. 💕
