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!
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!
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🌞
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.

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.

Excuse our lack of blogging, we are soaking in the summer with our clients and our families. We love everything about this family session, from the cutest kids ever sharing watermelons and a bond that is evident. Here's a sneak peek of their summer petite family session.
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.
Wrinkly toes turn to big gummy laughs that turn to wobbly steps with chubby little cheeks that turn to grass stained knees that turn to shorter and shorter lived snuggles that turn to sweaty sports uniforms or gym Socks that turns into car keys hanging from their pockets.
When people say don't blink...it's for real. don't blink sounds cliche but I'm here as a "mom or many" or mominator as my teens tease... I'm a mama of adult children and all ages in between. One minute your smelling a freshly bathed toddler who wants a bedtime story and the next your pacing halls because it's close to curfew.
You will triumph in parenting and you will fail....but one things for sure whether we blink or not : they grow up. Nobody ever regrets freezing moments in time by capturing images.
We will capture it, let Mudpies freeze all this in a unique way with images of everything that is THEM.
Here's some images recently from an adorable little boy whose mama says we captured him perfectly, natural smiles and with all things he adores.
I LOVE cake. But I love tacos MOST.... How fun, A Taco Smash! Seems like after the BIG ONE so many people forget to document the annual birthdays. We arnt gonna sugar coat it TWO year olds are a force to be reckoned with when it comes to fine Art Photography. Well, we are here to tell you....It won't be stressfull- It's our thing. We know how to read them, we can bring a calmness and make it fun if you let us work our magic WE WILL GET THE SHOTS...promise. We prepare with extra staff and props and style the sessions ahead of time to have the best possible outcome.
