Sunnie turned two! 🪿💗✨

Not only did Sunnie have an amazing set up for her birthday she also got Mabel (the duck) made for her by me for her photoshoot 🥹

This set was hand made by me FULLY. Everything you see in this set is what you get when you book me for your birthday sessions.

You will get a customized backdrop, made by me.
I work with my clients to create a Pinterest board to get the ideas of what they are looking for, color wise, theme wise etc.

Same process with the cake as well, you and I will work together with creating a Pinterest board on what you’re imagining the cake to look like and my amazing friend Meredith Callahan / Pinch of Sugar creates it EXACTLY as pictured 😏

(If you’d like to see the inspo of cakes/backdrops and then with what the cakes/backdrops turn out like I’d love to make a post to show y’all!)

& yes yall, my husband does have a hand in this sometimes and supports my crazy ideas haha. 😅💗

So - if you’re wanting to book with me for a first birthday, second birthday… whatever - let’s chat! 🫶🏼

It’ll be worth it! ✨

**also this backdrop (along with my cactuses etc) is still available if anyone wants a silly goose themed session for their little one! 😊

PSA:
Please read this, and please see this as my love for yall!

This is something I wish I didn’t have to do, but I have to do it.
Not because I want to but for my sanity, my family meaning husband and children, and also just for boundaries.

I have always said I would be as transparent as I possibly can with my supporters, clients and myself with everything… and lately I haven’t been. I’ve been riding the wave, and it’s going to lead me to burn out.

This is my first full year of being in the wedding industry (going on 3 years for my business though overall) and as I absolutely love and adore it, and I am so appreciative of what I have had the opportunities for. But I HAVE TO, like… have to… create these boundaries/terms and I should’ve done it a while ago.

The reason I haven’t is because I’ve been wanting to appease every single person but in the meantime I’m putting myself and my family on the back burner, and not just that - im going to get burnt out and I absolutely do NOT want that.

The next two months is wedding season - meaning, I will be extremely busy and running on little sleep, rarely any family time and coffee.

The boundaries/terms I’m putting in place are to protect myself & my family, but it’s also to make sure I am the BEST photographer I can be for yall as well.

Starting today/going forward:

🩷 I will not be taking anymore engagement bookings until December/into the new year.
It’s not that I don’t want to it’s that I literally have no more openings and I cannot continue to make room and stretch myself thin.

I am only one person, and I’m also a mom and wife and they need my presence as well.

🩷 I will only be taking on a certain amount of bookings a month from now on.

🩷 Any bookings other than weddings, will now be booked during the week.
Every once in a while I might be able to accommodate but I will not be taking regular bookings on the weekends anymore.
(Believe it or not, a lot of photographers do this)

🩷 Sundays are my OFF days. I have been way too lenient with that lately to accommodate clients and it’s not fair to me nor my family.
I will not be editing, answering messages/emails, or having any bookings on Sundays. Messages will be responded next business day.

Unless it’s a wedding I have already booked - and even from here I’m out I might not continue taking Sunday weddings.

🩷 Regular galleries, including engagement sessions will be sent out in 4 weeks instead of 1-2 weeks.

This is just only for the next 2.5/3 months.

****🩷 I will be implementing something for my wedding clients to book their engagement session/location on a link instead of reaching out to me and so we arent constantly going back and forth. This way it’s easier for both of us, you’re able to pick a time slot, and I’ll have a list of locations you can choose from or if you have something else in mind - there will be a place for you to put that.

**this doesn’t mean don’t send me inspo, I want all of that! 😍 but this alleviates multiples brides reaching out at once, and I’m trying to keep up with all these messages and trying to get yall booked. I’m not exaggerating when I say yall have a 6th sense that when one bride texts me (about anything, booking etc) 3-5 other brides also reach out the same day lol.

I DONT EVER want my brides to feel put on the back burner so I’m hoping this new way of booking the engagement sessions will help tremendously. And if it doesn’t, I’ll go back to something else.

🩷 Reschedules MIGHT happen, please bear with me as if a reschedule happens, I don’t take that lightly and it will be rescheduled quickly even if the date isn’t immediate back to back. You will be on my books.

As of right now - these are my boundaries I’m putting in place.

I love all my clients dearly and I love my business. But if I want to be my best self for y’all, then I have to first take care of myself and as of right now, I am not taking care of myself and it’s starting to show up in my family, in my productivity etc.

Please be patient with me during this time/season.
That’s all I’m asking is patience and grace.

The next 2 months is going to be hard but so rewarding and fun.

I’m so excited to capture everyone’s beautiful days! 💍🥹🫶🏼

If anything else gets brought up to my attention for boundary/going forward aspects, I will let everyone know immediately.

Thank yall so much for being supportive, loving, patient and kind. I appreciate all my clients so so sooooo much! 🥹🩷 past, present & future.

If you have ANY QUESTIONS, about any of these AT ALL, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

I still don’t think this has fully sunk in… 🥹🤍

I WON SIMPLY THE BEST HARRISBURG — PHOTOGRAPHER! 🏆✨

When I started this little photography business, I never imagined I’d one day be standing here with an award that represents the support of the people who have trusted me to capture some of the most important moments of their lives.

Every family who has invited me into their chaos.
Every mama who has trusted me with her motherhood story.
Every couple who has let me document their love.
Every bride who has trusted me with one of the biggest days of her life.
Every newborn, Fresh48, wedding, bo***ir, maternity, and milestone I’ve been lucky enough to photograph.

You are the reason I get to do this.

To everyone who nominated me, voted for me, shared my posts, recommended me to a friend, booked a session, or simply cheered me on from the sidelines - thank you. You have no idea what that support means to me.

Almost 3 years ago, I was just trying to figure this whole photography thing out. Now, somehow, I’m a Simply the Best Harrisburg Photographer. 😭

I’m incredibly grateful, incredibly humbled, and honestly just incredibly excited for what’s next.

God has opened doors for me that I never could have opened on my own, and I’ll never stop being thankful for that.

Thank you, Harrisburg. 🤍

Here’s to continuing to create beautiful photographs, serving my people well, and capturing the moments that become memories forever. 📸✨

WE DID IT. 🥹🏆🩷

PSA:

Starting immediately, all sessions including weddings will be having tax added onto the pricing instead of it already be added into the price.

Thank you for understanding!

I look forward to working with all my clients + future potential clients.
I wouldn’t be where I am without yall. 🥹🩷

A little bit of old-school romance, a lot of laughter, and a whole lot of love. 🤍

There’s something so special about celebrating the life you’ve built together in the places that make you feel like you. Ice cream dates, dancing outside the theater, stealing kisses…

Not every love story needs to be grand or perfectly posed. Sometimes it’s just two people choosing each other, over and over again, in the most ordinary moments - and somehow making them feel extraordinary.

Here’s to another year of you two. 🥂
Here’s to the inside jokes, the spontaneous dates, the messy ice cream cones, the slow dances, and all the little moments that become the memories you keep forever.

Happy anniversary to a love that looks just as good in real life as it does in photographs. 🤍

Being part of capturing WIC’s National Breastfeeding Week is something I’m incredibly honored to be a part of. 💛

Breastfeeding is so much more than feeding a baby. It’s late nights, early mornings, sore bodies, quiet moments, tears, comfort, connection, and a million little moments that deserve to be remembered.

As a photographer, getting to document these stories is such a privilege. Every mother’s journey looks different, and every journey is worthy of being celebrated - whether it lasted days, weeks, months, or years.

I’m especially grateful to be able to capture these moments with the tenderness and honesty they deserve. Because someday, these babies will be grown, and these mothers will look back and remember not just how little their babies were, but how deeply they were loved.

Thank you to WIC for allowing me to be part of celebrating and honoring breastfeeding families during National Breastfeeding Week. 🤍

Here’s to the mothers, the babies, the support systems, and all the beautiful, imperfect, incredibly meaningful journeys in between. 🫶🏻

✨ Brides, this is your sign to STOP stressing about the getting-ready room. ✨

Your space does NOT have to look like a Pinterest board for you to have beautiful getting-ready photos. 😂

There will be makeup bags everywhere. Dresses hanging from doors. Shoes on the floor. Half-empty coffee cups. Bridesmaids’ bags. Hair tools. Snacks. Someone will absolutely be looking for an earring they just had two seconds ago.

And you know what? That’s real wedding-day magic 🤍

As your photographer, I’m not expecting your getting-ready space to be spotless. I’ll find the cleanest little corner, move a few things if needed, utilize pretty details, work with the light, and create photos that feel intentional and beautiful.

You’re getting married - not hosting an HGTV open house. 😂

Now this does not mean, that if your space is a complete disaster I can become a genie and make it spotless, you gotta work with me a little. If you want those pictures you’ve been dreaming of for your getting ready photos, keep in mind I’ll need SOME type of space 🫶🏼

So please, let yourself enjoy the morning. Laugh with your girls. Sip your ch*****ne. Get your hair and makeup done. Soak in those little moments.

Leave the disaster to me. I’ve got you. 📸🤍

There was something so incredibly beautiful about the way Kojo & Adaora chose to begin their marriage. 🫶🏼

On one of the hottest/most humid days of the year (probs not the hottest but it was up there haha we were all sweating!), surrounded by the grandeur of the Capitol and the people who mattered most, they said ✨I do✨ in the most intentional and intimate way.

Just their parents, a sibling, their officiant, and the two of them. No crowd. No distractions. Just love, family, and a day that felt completely theirs.

And somehow, even through the heat, every detail came together perfectly. From Adaora’s timeless bridal look to Kojo in his classic black tux, the architecture, the gardens, the little moments between them - it all felt like something out of a film.

They are truly such a gorgeous couple, inside and out, and it was such an honor to document the beginning of this next chapter for them.

Kojo & Adaora - your day was intimate, intentional, beautiful, and so completely you. 🤍

Here’s to a lifetime of choosing each other, in every season. 🥂
