York Newborn & Baby Photographer
For moms who love their
babies more than anything.
Serving families in York and Lancaster, PA.
welcome
I’ve been photographing families since 2012, and I’m raising six kids of my own. So when I say I understand every stage — I really do. From maternity and newborn to family sessions and seniors.
In this season of my career, I’m especially focused on newborns, babies, and young children. That early stage is where I spend most of my time — and where my heart naturally lands.
The Baby Stage, The Growing Years, and Everything In Between
Hey, I’m Kara — mom of six and former teacher. I know how fast these years go because I’m in the middle of them too.
I photograph families because this stage matters. The baby who won’t sit still. The toddler glued to your hip. The Target runs. The couch snuggles. The real stuff.
My sessions are relaxed and easy. No stiff posing. No pressure to have perfectly behaved kids. Just your family as you are — and me guiding things enough so it still looks really good.
If you love comfy clothes, natural light, and photos that actually feel like your life… we’ll get along just fine.
Why I do this....
Let’s Capture the Good Stuff
Hey, I’m Kara — mom of six and former teacher. I know how fast these years move because I’m living them too.
I photograph families because this stage matters. The sticky hands. The Target runs. The baby who won’t sit still. The chaos that somehow feels like home.
My sessions are relaxed and real. No stiff posing. No pretending your kids behave like Pinterest children. Just your life — as it is.
If that sounds like your kind of thing, we’ll get along just fine.
My sessions are relaxed and real — capturing belly laughs, messy hands, and snuggles on the couch — the moments that actually matter.
If you love coffee, Target strolls, and dancing barefoot in the kitchen, you’re in the right place. Let’s create something beautiful and turn it into memories you’ll treasure forever.
Natural, heartfelt photography for the baby stage, the growing years, and everything in between. Serving York & Lancaster, PA.
Love Notes...
A few words from the families who’ve trusted me with their favorite moments.
Kiersten — Family Session
★★★★★
Kara has photographed our family multiple times, and she’s incredible every single session. She’s relaxed, personable, and somehow gets the most beautiful photos even with a busy toddler. We recommend her to everyone!
Shannon — Senior Session
★★★★★
Kara made my senior feel completely at ease — you can see it in every photo. The smiles were real, nothing felt forced, and the final gallery brought me to tears. I’d give her 1000 stars if I could.
Kish Family — Newborn Session
★★★★★
We are so grateful for our newborn photos. Kara made the experience calm, comfortable, and fun — even in those early days. She captured our family so naturally and beautifully. These pictures mean everything to us.
Lauren — Newborn + Toddler
★★★★★
Kara is amazing! She photographed my newborn and toddler so beautifully and made the entire session feel easy. The images were delivered quickly and the quality was incredible. We’ll be booking again.
