What Is a Day in the Life Session?
It’s not your typical family session.
For 4 to 6 hours, I’ll quietly step into your day—at home, in your backyard, or even around the block—to capture the magic that lives in your ordinary.
No directing. No matching outfits. Just your family doing what they do best: living.
These sessions are all about connection, comfort, and the beautifully imperfect rhythm of your real life—whether that’s in a cozy rowhome in Baltimore or a farmhouse outside Lancaster.
Your toddler helping make pancakes in a York kitchen.
Flour everywhere. Big smiles. The kind of mess you’ll miss someday.
Morning snuggles on the couch in your Harrisburg home.
Still in pajamas. Cartoons on. Everyone piled together.
Backyard stick collecting with muddy boots in Lancaster.
Little explorers. Big imaginations. Dirt under their fingernails.
Storytime in a Reading nursery.
A quiet moment. A favorite book. Heads tucked close.
Sibling squabbles and belly laughs in Baltimore.
Because this is what childhood sounds like.
These are the things that tell your story.
These are the moments worth keeping.

Playtime, snack breaks, and those candid moments of joy—she captured it all, and I wouldn’t change a thing. The album she put together is pure gold. I cry (in a good way) every time I flip through it. It’s a beautiful keepsake that truly captures the spirit of our family.

General FAQ's
How long is the session?
Most sessions last 4 to 6 hours, depending on your day. I’ll guide you through what works best for your family.
Do we need to plan activities?
Not really! I want to capture your actual day. That might mean pancakes, a Target run, backyard digging, or just playing inside. I’ll help you prep so it all feels easy.
What if my house isn’t “Pinterest perfect”?
Please don’t stress! Real life is never spotless—and that’s the whole point. I’m here to capture your connection, not your throw pillows.
Can we go outside too?
Absolutely. We can mix in time at your favorite park, playing in the backyard, or even walking the dog around the block.
How many photos do we get?
You’ll receive a full gallery with every edited image—no picking and choosing. These are your memories. You get them all.
What’s the $400 video add-on?
It’s a short, highlight-style video with soft music and sweet snippets from your session. It brings your day to life in a totally different way. You’ll love it.
