Cozy Campfire Bonds Are a Year-Round Option

We had so much fun during this shoot! Capturing their bond meant a lot to this mama — this is the age where it's common for boys not to be fond of picture time (or really anything that starts as Mom's idea 😂).

But EVERY time we get them playing naturally is where we capture the magic.

From the sass/tudes to giggles and good times. In fact, this lil man asked to shoot with his own camera when we wrapped up their cozy campfire session. There’s nothing we love more than for kids to tell their story their own way, too. Memories from this shoot will live on forever in the images we’re sharing.

Know what? The experience is as important to us as the images we produce. And our team with extra hands and highly-trained staff makes sessions extra stress-free for parents.

We offer these cozy campfires year-round and style them to suit your vision! Let us capture that bond. No cheesy smiles, we promise. #YourImagesYourWay #MudpiesMagicMakesItHappen

Something about Seasons

Pennsylvania seasons sure didn't disappoint this year!

New love stories ushered in 2020 with boudoir sessions so classy, but so fierce -- even we blushed.

The beautiful blossoms of early spring were bittersweet. Like so many others, our business came to a sudden halt as everyone tried to figure out how to stay safe during a pandemic. Trust us, we were feeling ALL the feels right along with the rest of the world. We still got to witness the beauty of the season, though. Some things are universal and for always.

Our hearts leapt with joy when we got our green light to get back into action. And who knew what a fabulous summer we'd be blessed with! Bare feet, watermelons, giggles, splashes, and all the ice cream we could eat framed some of our favorite moments with our summertime clients. ❤️

This year, Eastern shore boasted cleaner water and beaches than ever. We spent time capturing God beauty in those bursting sunrises and tranquil sunsets that provided backdrops of stunning art for families to cherish.

Fall here has brought a bounty of color, explosive fun photo shoots, and cozy campfires that are warming our souls. It's impossible not to jump into the leaf pile. All. The. Way.

We are really looking forward to witnessing families taking in all the sights and sounds of the holiday season and bonding over baking cookies. The magic of the holidays is here! Add a little Mudpies N' Butterflies magic to the mix, and it's a recipe for fun, art, and moments captured to cherish forever.

PS — We’d be remiss not to thank all of you who purchased gift cards for yourselves and for others when business slowed down in the spring. Thank you, our Mudpies N’ Butterflies family!

Ryan + Kelly: A Savage River Lodge Wedding

We have known and photographed Ryan and Kelly (and their beautiful children) for quite some time and when asked to document their special Veteran’s day wedding at the Savage River Lodge in Maryland, we were nothing less than delighted and honored. This secluded venue and small, intimate wedding day was filled with beautiful details and spectacular scenery. It was a gorgeous late fall afternoon ceremony, followed by some amazing eats and ended with some snuggling by the fire and s’mores. Congratulations again Ryan & Kelly, it was a pleasure to be able spend your special day with you.

S'more Campfires and Cuddles

A Sneak peek from our Outdoor Holiday Sessions, Campfire theme😍 We were so happy that we booked these early fall before the freezing temps. We waited to post as to not ruin any Christmas gift and card suprises but here is a small peek. What a fun time everyone had toasting marshmallows and cuddling around the campfire and of course our VW camper "Rosie" made an appearance to add variety to each session.
