A Graduation Duo

We got a request to capture both a son and his mom graduating at the same time…and let’s just say WHAT FUN!! While mom was graduating with her doctorate, her son completed his bachelor’s degree and they both got to walk across the stage on the same day, at the same school to get their diplomas! We met them with their caps and gowns to help capture this special memory for them. Whatever your photography need might be, we are here for you!

Creating an Epic Senior Session

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,

Millersville double branded.jpg

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

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!

Senior Photoshoots With Style- York PA Photographer

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!

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!

A Farmhouse Style Senior Session

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!

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🌞

Downtown Vibes

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!!!

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.

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.
