Anytime is Family Time

We all know that time flies by. We have so many families that contact and say they haven’t had pictures taken since their almost teenagers or now teenagers were babies/toddlers. No matter if it is spring, summer, winter or fall, we always have some fun ideas and locations to capture your family. Trust us, you won’t forget it and we always will make it enjoyable for everyone!

All the Graffiti Vibes

Model shoots always lead to some pretty amazing locations. This winter we had this incredible looking guy to work with. Not only is he a college student, but also a model and actor and has an insane sense of style. And, can we talk about the hair?!?! GORGEOUS!!!!! He was home from Arizona for a few weeks, so we took advantage of the snow and graffiti vibes. The results are amazing!

You Can Have All the Options

Kaleb and his mom came to us with a variety of location requests as well as styles and sports to include. Here at The Loft and Mudpies N Butterflies Photography we are all about making your session all about YOU! We have a variety of packages whether you are looking for one outfit/one location or multiple. Contact us today to start planning your session!

There are blue skies in Lily's future!!

This beauty was such a pleasure to photograph! Lily has a great sense of style and a big, bubbly personality to match! After she finishes her senior year at South Western High School, Lily is moving on to study Meteorology at Ohio State University. We are so honored to have her as one of our Loft Senior Spokes Models and can’t wait to see what the future holds for her!

Sunshine Sunflowers and Seniors at Gray Apple Market, York pa

The golden sun wasn't the only thing shinin on this gorgeous evening- Senior, Ella beaming smile was! Gosh this girl is just so sweet and sprinkles kindness around like confetti. Our styles meshed so well with her location pick. She specifically requested Gray Apple Market in York PA and it did not disappoint. From the adorable store front to the amazing landscape, posing options were abound! Sunflower fields in full bloom made a perfect backdrop

We had fun bopping in and out of these rolling rows capturing those natural laughs and those flashes of real smiles amongst the blossoms. Wardrobe was easy, she knows her style well and we love it. Ella even has her own online consignment shop she started!

It's perfect that Ella, like Sunflowers do, is always lookin on the bright side of things🌞

What makes a picture perfect backdrop? Pennsylvania rolling feilds and an heirloom piano!

What makes a perfect backdrop? Well nature sings for this beautiful senior session and granted her wish and captured exactly what she wanted. With such a stunning young lady anything looks gorgeous, but what a creative concept, We love this idea! We are very excited to see what other seniors bring to the table for their personal photoshoots.

Beautiful Jemma had a blast shooting at multiple locations with Laura and well… we think the images speak to the fun! Have a great Senior year!
