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.
This little boy’s mama reached out to us after coming home from the hospital and we are so glad she did. From his sleepy smiles to the sweetest dreams, this session was perfection. We kept styles and colors neutral and simple. If you already had your baby and didn’t reserve your due date prior to delivering, don’t hesitate to reach out! We love our Just New Sessions and can help you capture this special time. Take a peek at some of our favorites from this little guy’s gallery.
Baby #3 arrived for this sweet family, and they finally got a boy. We have captured each of their precious newborns and just when you think they cant get any sweeter, they somehow do! It was so fun capturing the love this family had for their new baby boy, and you can just see how smitten his big sisters are about him. We are looking forward to watching him grow!
Talk about a dream baby!! This little one right here rocked her session, I don’t even think we saw her eyes one time while we worked with her. From her mama’s love of Disney princesses to soft florals and sweet dreams, this session boasted lots of variety and sweetness. Below are a few of our favorites.
Our job as photographers is more involved than just simply snapping an image. It becomes learning about our clients and what makes them smile, capturing the exact moment they are going through in life currently, and conveying their feelings through the image itself. This newborn session was an excellent example of that. This sweet baby boy lost his daddy in a tragic accident prior to being born. His beautiful mommy has shown such strength through the heartache and wanted more than anything to remember his daddy throughout this session. Dax, you are so loved and we continue to pray for your entire family as they navigate through a whole new way of life and loving you.
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.
This session was all about baby, and trust us, he was all about showing off his beautiful baby smile. At almost three weeks old, baby J was an absolute dream to work with. His peaceful dreams, tiny toes and sleepy smiles made us all swoon and we couldn’t wait to share are favorites with you all.
We have been working with this sweet family for years and were so excited to meet their newest addition. Big brother was so proud to show him off as well and not even being two years old, he did just as amazing as his little brother. Take a peek at some of our faves from the sweet and sleepy little babe and his family.
We have been blessed to be able to watch this wonderful family grow into a tribe of four. We recently captured big brothers 2nd birthday milestone as well as the birth announcement on their family farm so it was no shock when Mommy and Daddy requested some themes including tractors and anything farm or horse related. Baby was 4 weeks old during the session but slept like a dream and we were able to capture some amazing memories for this sweet family. Enjoy some of the images from big brothers session on their farm as well as little brothers session in our newborn suite.
This sweet girl and her family came to our newborn suite recently and we were in for a treat. From flashing a smile with her fur brother to peacefully sleeping through some sweet poses, this little lady rocked her “just new” session!
In case you missed that first 2 to 3 week window for newborn pictures, it’s not too late to make sure you get some amazing pictures. This little guy was about 10 weeks old when he came into our newborn studio suite. He may have traded his sleepy eyes for some smiles but hey, no one is complaining!
At four weeks old, this little angel was such a dream in our newborn suite when she came to visit. We consult with our parents about style and themes and this mama did an awesome job of colors she liked and wanted to incorporate their love for traveling. It looks like there are big plans for the future of this baby!
Girls just wanna have a fun, and believe me, WE DID! Gosh this little doll baby rocked her newborn session. mom requested a fun girly makeup shot and I think we pulled it off. Check out these sneak peeks from her gallery, we cant wait to watch her reach all her milestones as she grows! We offer baby plans that captures the whole family throughout the year. We help parents remember to capture each important stage. Its like freezing a moment in time when you have professional digital images to look back on. We give ALL the fully edited high resolution digital art to our clients! After all, how would any mom and dad be able to choose?!
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.

In an industry booming with the sale of "prosumer" grade cameras, it's easy to be a self proclaim. You are indeed a photographer and self taught is fine; plenty of amazing photographers are. We would like to discuss a few things on this topic. Professional grade equiptment is very different. It is much, much more costly to purchase and maintain. Not all photographers are going to have the glass series to cut through heavy fog, bright light rays, or waterproof stuff to shoot in the craziest weather conditions, if need be. Professionals have that all covered! They also know how to use it and when. It's what makes professionals just that- taking time to perfect the craft through multiple experiences, learning opportunities, and investing hours of learning the latest techniques and keeping up with cutting edge technology. For important milestones and memories that you want to last a lifetime, please consider investing in hiring a professional.
Now, if Aunt Susie down the street or mom's BFF momtog is teaching herself and building a portfolio, help them out, by all means! Reserve the special milestones, though, to be captured by professionals ESPECIALLY when it comes to posing your tiny human. Newborn photography should never be a portfolio building or a practice opportunity. I'll spare you the 3,000 reason why and cut to the chase.
1. SAFETY FIRST
You need people handling your baby in the specially molded poses who are trained to do so. Tiny vessels can be pinched off by the simple act of putting baby in a container/basket etc and causing irreversible nerve damage that you may not even discover, or worse. This is not a scare tactic for you to come to us for your newborn session-this is serious and meant to be informative. We have a passion for photography, but we have more of a passion to love and serve others. We love your babies and do not ever want to see babies injured. Many of the images you see are carefully edited for hours and the baby is not actually posed in a way that is the final result...these images are composite images put together by a professional designer. No, our babies are never just hanging in whimsical dreamcatchers..well they are except there are always multiple hands on the baby!!!
At Mudpies Studio, you can breathe a sigh of relief that are not only licensed and insured to handle the tiniest infants we have medical background with a specialty in neonatal! We have all state child clearances and we are current and up to date on all vaccines- many people do not think of this! I can't imagine taking my newest precious cargo to someone and not knowing this. Newborn sessions are UP CLOSE and personal with the entire family and your little ones immune system needs to still grow! That aside, we have over 16 years experience and a team dedicted to our work but mostly, YOUR safety.
2. Your Investment- Our Promise
We are not a high volume studio. We are able to turn around images in just days- each one beautifully edited to perfection. Little Sam has scraped up knees? (although sometimes cute to capture that boy phase), we have you covered! We can edit that out! That stain on your shirt from the babies hands that just happened prior to arrival? We got you. You do not pay extra for editing, nor do you search through tons of images and select which ones and what we will edit. Professional service is all encompassing. W strive for all shoots to be stress free. Often there are two or more photographers working with your family at a session. We know what it takes to get an entire family ready for pictures. WE take all of the stress away from beginning to the delivery of your final images by helping to plan and style your session, to directing with our professional eye for location, lighting, posing and angles so that you get the most from every session. You will have a convenient online gallery with a large amount of images to share with friends and family that they will fall in love with. We promise!
We were gushing over this little guy from the moment he came in to our studio! At almost 2 months old, this little guy rocked his "Not So New" session! We did so many fun themes that incorporated all things that his mommy and daddy love, even their last name! Baby Campbell, we cannot wait to watch you grow! Check out this sneak peek of his session.
