"I want to remember all the "firsts" in my baby's first year—those first smiles, steps, and milestones. I also want to capture the everyday joys—cuddles, bonding moments, and the unique personality that's emerging. The first year's rapid growth is incredible, and I want to have these memories captured to look back on and treasure always."

Harrisburg, the state capital of Pennsylvania, sits on the Susquehanna River. The National Civil War Museum illustrates both sides of the conflict via interactive exhibits and re-enactments. Next to the imposing Capitol building, the State Museum of Pennsylvania celebrates the area’s natural, cultural and industrial heritage. East of the city, Hershey park is a chocolate-themed park offering rides and entertainment.
