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.
We already have our toes in the sand for a new beach season filled with laughter, ocean, and warm weather. And we're feeling so good, we're going to do a giveaway!
One family who books a beach session with us this summer will receive a $150 gift certificate to apply toward their session. If your family visits Bethany / Ocean City / Lewes / Rehobeth over the summer and you love beautiful, one-of-a-kind photographs, we're your perfect partner to create some truly stunning images!

See you at the beach!
We were contacted with a special request to capture a Christmas surprise for this family’s Pap. He absolutely loves vintage trucks and what better way to celebrate him than to do a surprise meetup in a field with an old red truck?! After having fun capturing this family’s love for each other, Pap even got a chance to hop in the truck and go for a drive. Thankful they chose us to photograph this meaningful time for their family.
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
Dad’s going to have his hands full with these pretty little ladies!
The golden hour didn't disappoint through this session — we always chase the best light, angels, and surroundings that match styles. We love aligning visions and creating looks that are both timeless and treasured moments. We make it our mission not only to capture the smiles, but also to frame the natural interaction, resulting in galleries overflowing with perfectly-edited digital images with VARIETY.
Our team of photographers always pays attention to detail: shirt tails, pockets full of phones, sunglasses on heads... hey, it happens. Getting all the kids to the session in one piece isn't always the easiest (WE KNOW). But once you're there, you can breathe a sigh of relief knowing we have you covered. The hair out of place, the buttons you forgot to snap, the hair ties on your wrist, and everything in between… we’ll help you manage it all.
Our job is to deliver images and products you’ll be in love with. We stand by that goal, and we guarantee it.
Speaking of being in love, we fall in love with this family a little bit more every time we capture them. Here's a small glimpse.
We have been working with this seniors family for a few years and what a joy they always are to work with. When mom emailed about a senior session we couldn’t wait to start planning details. From coordinating outfits to making sure we had the best location and golden light, this session did not disappoint. We even got to include some awesome pictures with our vintage Jeep Wagoneer. If you want an epic session like this, be sure to reach out today, we love to make your style shine through in the images. Below are some of our faves!
Dear high school and college seniors,
We see you.
Every year, we get to spend different seasons with you, capturing the essence of who you are to film forever. You have been a tremendous and favorite part of the work we do.
You share really personal insight into your personalities. You show us your passions.
Some of you have been photographed by us since your mamas were tenderly carrying you as bumps.
Some of you have styled sessions together and shared that freeze-frame.
We've seen you laugh. We've seen the serious you. We've glimpsed the hope and potential for a bright new beginning once you walk down the aisle to leave behind high school or college forever.
And so, as these times unfold and we all do what we must to ensure that everyone stay as healthy as possible, we are sad with you that you won't have some of the same "lasts" that you've always looked forward to.
You are our heroes, you know. And we'll always talk later on about how so many of your generation - YOU - so selflessly stayed at home, forgoing the traditional rites of passage to keep all of us safer. We are seeing right now, not only the beautiful you in this moment, but also the adults who you are becoming.
Dear seniors, we celebrate you. We are already looking forward again to finding your spirit with our lenses. And dear seniors, we thank you.
Much love,
Mudpies N' Butterflies

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.
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.
When it comes to styling seniors our style team goes to great lengths to match up settings and wardrobe preferences. The goal is to design a shoot that meets our seniors needs and creates the images they dream of. We do not limit wardrobe or locations so there are endless possibilities to customize a shoot that captures this milestone in creative ways. No two sessions are alike and we take pride in our ability to pull off a vision. Katelyn dreamed of tall grassy Meadows, natural water setting and to embrace her style with several wardrobe changes. We loved all her ideas and decided to head to a spot that was not so simple to get to, but oh SO WORTH IT. We found some hidden gems but the real gem was those stunning eyes of hers! Check out a peek of her senior session!
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!
We had a great time working with Hannah and planning out her styled senior session. Fields, a farmhouse and stonework were on the order for this one and we couldn’t be happier with the results. We always include any hobbies or sports so we of course ended with some fun cheerleading shots. Check out some of our favorites of this gorgeous girl from her gallery!
The stunning miss Hannah decided she wanted the best of both worlds for her Senior Session. She picked the gorgeous sunflower field at Gray Apple Market and also wanted some Downtown York City vibes as well!
The weather certainly did not disappoint and neither did her personality and smile. She is such a wonderful young lady and we were delighted she selected us for this milestone. Our goal is to keep your session fun and playful. If you are enjoying yourself and not feeling stressed, the real YOU really shines through! We will help you select wardrobe and even offfer packages with hair and makeup services. Choose The Loft for your Senior pictures and we promise you will look back and cherish the images.
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🌞
We had a blast capturing Taylor’s senior portraits recently in downtown York. From the planning stages up through the shoot, we styled the location and poses according to what she had in mind, and the results….AMAZING!!! Check out the images below to see some highlights from her session and leave some love in the comments. Remember to contact today to start planning your epic senior session with The Loft!
Life’s not all unicorns and rainbows, but the night of this adorable shoot it was! In between rain showers we laughed and danced with Lollipop the unicorn and even saw a huge rainbow sprawled across the sky opposite of where we were shooting so of course we had to include it for some extra portrait magic.
A little imagination and A lot of smiles equals pure magic! We had so many giggles and shared a lot of sweet moments with our stunning pony “Lollipop” , She is a blue eyed beauty who is a rescue horse training to be a therapy UNICORN. Yep, this little lady is going to bless so many, with the help of Right Foot Ranch, A non profit, located right here in Central Pennsylvania, York Pa.
We are sponsoring Lollipops first rehabilitation visit Friday Sept. 13 2019 !
Yep we pick the best spots to fit your style! Whether it's a lake sessions, beach sessions, flower fields, in studio, a library or your favorite coffee shop, we are having a blast. The beach was gorgeous the city was fun and so was this Senior, Lizzie and she had rave reviews of her session!
“I had so much fun playing on the beach for my senior pictures, we planned the wardrobe together and Kylie helped teach me the best tips and tricks for posing.”
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!
The first birthday Cakesmash is often a captured milestone and then suddenly you find yourself with a third grader that you only have some obligatory school pics of. It's such a wonderous time of child hood that your children don't often recall. What do they like to eat, their favorite movie or shows, what's that treasured toy that has to seemingly tag along everywhere?
Lets talk about the TWEENS , this is the most rapid growth and marked changes you will see since their baby stage! And yet often parents get so busy carpooling to sports, working on those Art projects etc.. all the busy stuff that comes with this age! Aside from an occasional family portrait do you have anything captured that really freezes this time in their life?
They are starting to explore makeup and may even be pushing limits of fashion. Often they found a passion for a certain sport, talent or hobby.
In a world that is so fast paced and the internet and social media being so Infuential. It often leads to the innocence of these years to fly by and fizzle.
Insecurities also develope during the informative years, heighten social pressure coupled with body changes can lead so many kids to develop negative doubt and poor self feelings regarding body image social status and everything in between.
We offer TWEEN sessions that will not only capture all the things about them that changes so quickly, but a shoot full of confidence boosting and fun (let's face it we all enjoy being pampered dobted over). Styled shoot with hair and makeup artists on set as well as older girls who are great positive role models acedemically and, socially in the community...what an experience! Lights, camera, action !! They will be sure to remember this experience for years to come. Our hope is to freeze this time forever with tasteful heirloom quality images to cherish AND have the experience be a huge positive impact as they embark on the teen years that can be oh so trying and tough for some.
How to have a fun Senior photoshoot? Well….just add ALL your favorite things!
To say we had a blast with Joshua during his senior session is an understatement! He is a true outdoorsman and we got to see all of the things that he is passionate about. We met his favorite four-legged pal, Remi, the goat, learned about his role as President of the Pennsylvania White Rose FFA, and watched him fling some mud on his 4 wheeler! We love designing and planning sessions for our Seniors! We love for them to show off their passions to capture real and timeless images that parent are sure to treasure for a lifetime.
Its never too late or the wrong season! Let us plan out a session with your senior. Our packages include released fully digitally edited images.
Check out the sneak peek portraits from Joshua’s session!
