We have been working with this beautiful family over the past few years and this is our second time around capturing this glowing mama’s perfect bump and second baby boy. We got just a light dusting of snow before their bump session and it made our private outdoor location even more magical! A few weeks later we met them at our newborn suite to capture their newest addition, and we think it is safe to say he is adored by them all! Enjoy some of our faves from each session below.
Blossoms, Bumps & Brotherly Love
We have been photographing this sweet family for multiple occasions over the past few years, and we were so excited to hear their already beautiful family was growing! It has been such a blessing to capture life for them — we enjoyed planning yet another fun session. Check out a few of our favorites from this spring bump family session.

From Bump to Baby
We enjoyed working with this beautiful couple to capture their growing family. We met them outside with their first fur baby to show the glowing mamas growing belly. A few weeks later we met them in our newborn suite to photograph the new addition….and oh how cute!! She was such a dream…from staying sleepy to flashing the sweetest smiles, we were in love at first sight.
You're about to be a BIG BROTHER!!
What an exciting promotion…becoming a Big Bro!! This little guy cannot wait, or so he thinks, lol!! We can only hope that his baby sister loves the camera as much as he does. We love to be able to incorporate some indoor and outdoor shots in these bump sessions. It was actually fairly cold the day of this session, but momma was a champ about it. And she could not have been more stunning in this mauve gown. She and her 2 handsome boys made our job easy. We can’t wait to meet you baby girl!
Dear Sweet Mamas with miracles on board,
We know this is always such a fleeting journey filled with so many unknowns, and now even more so.
As we all navigate through this trial we pray you will find peace in knowing your baby is safe and warm.
We pray you will find comfort in those around you.
We pray you discover the strength that we know roars within you.
The strength to meander this uncharted territory. The strength to go to those visits without your partner....as you are not alone, we are all pulling for you and your baby is right there with you feeling every movement and hearing your comforting voice.
Dear Mama, we will be here on the other side to capture the endless, fleeting moments to be forever remembered.
Find comfort in knowing you are created for such a time as this and we are all going to be ok.
Xoxo,
Mudpies N’ Butterflies

Fall Maternity Session
This adorable family is about to grow by 2 feet! We loved capturing this time for them. Kristen booked a Rock the Bump Session to highlight their little girl becoming a big sister. The session was super fun and Mommy was glowing! Check out a sneak peek!
Miracle From The Start
We value all strong women who are busy with school, careers, keeping families going and even some wearing those supermom capes always so selfless! Many of you have seen our display at the York Womans Healthcare Group OBGYN office in York, Pa, where you will see many faces who represent a story of strength. One of those is a story of courage and a little miracle.
We were blessed to meet an amazingly strong woman who courageously conquered above and beyond what most of us can’t even comprehend. Her story brought us to tears. We were so thankful to be able to capture these precious moments for her and her husband and their journey is just so inspiring. Below is a super shortened version of this journey.
“In January 2018, I was diagnosed with endometrioid adenocarcinoma while in my second trimester of pregnancy after completing IVF therapy! I had open abdominal surgery to remove it, had a port placed, and started chemotherapy. Flash forward to delivery month when I had my FINAL CHEMO treatment!!” -Colleen
Joey was born healthy and incredibly strong! Capturing this precious little miracle along with his amazing parents was such a joyous time that we hold close and cant wait to watch him grow.
Our rock the bump winner!
We are so happy to share photos of the mom-to-be and rock the bump contest winner, Mikaela! Mikaela looked absolutely stunning for her session! We cannot wait to meet their little bundle of joy!
Blossoms + Bump = Stunning
Liz and Jeff are expecting baby number two and it's a BOY! We were blessed to be able to capture her first bump session a few years ago with their daughter, Ava, and were just as excited to capture her second bump. Liz looked absolutely stunning as she was surrounded by all of the beautiful blossoms.
