holiday magic!

In November, Snapshot Photography hosted the first Annual Santa & Me Sessions. The event was a huge success. Over forty families came to meet and spend quality time with Santa Claus himself. Their joy, awe and excitement was all capture. Watching the kids faces light up when Santa about their pets, teachers and favorites was priceless. One little boy keep repeating through his entire visit with Santa “it is magic!” and it truly was a magical experience for all involved.




Santa even had an extra special visit with Matt, a 28 year young man with Down’s Syndrome. Matt believes in Santa with all of his heart and is the spirit of Christmas in his family. Matt traveled from Fleetwood, PA to meet Santa and brought him a letter and chocolate chip cookies. As he sat and talked with Santa and keep looking at his sister and giving her a thumbs up to ensure her that he was okay and doing well. The visit brought tears to everyone’e eyes including Santa himself. The experience was surely one that Matt and all those that witnessed it will never forget.


Snapshot Photography has received fantastic feedback from the event and we will be bringing Santa back again next year! To see more of the Santa & Me photos visit our Facebook page.
Snapshot Photography is looking forward to the new year and the new products, mini sessions and creativity will be offered. If you haven’t already, be sure to “like” Snapshot Photography Facebook page so you don’t miss on the the events, contests and giveaways that take place throughout the new year.
halloween minis!

Details on the halloween mini sessions can be found here.
A little of this & a little of that!
Here are a few of my favorites from these sessions...








Featured Session!
Meet Alec....

Last week I took photos his photos...he was such a fun little boy and his personality just inspired me, so I wanted to share some of his photos. He came in to the studio a little shy and unsure about getting his photos taken, as many little ones his age do.... within no time we were playing iron man and getting fantastic shots. We tried an outfit change and Alec decided that the only way he was getting his pictures done was without a shirt...so we continued shirtless and headed outside. I think Alex made a great decision because the photos captured who he is really is... a little boy wanting to run, play & explore the summer day away!




Happy Birthday to Me!

(Here is my beautiful family!)

Its time for a blog!

Hello!
After giving it much thought, I have decided that Snapshot Photography needs a blog! I have lots of new ideas, giveaways & promotions planned for this summer...so I figured there couldn’t be a better time to start!
The first big announcement is Snapshot Photography’s new partnership with Colleen, a very talented local artist who will be painting monochromatic paintings of Snapshot Photography photographs for clients! Colleen is a graphic designer and has been painting for several years. She does a fantastic job! The flyer below shows some of her paintings, but does not do them justice! After you see these paintings in person you will love them! One will be added to the studio walls very soon! 
This blog will also feature some of my favorite photos from recent sessions & will talk a little bit about why they stand out to me.
My first feature photo is of Miss. Adalyn....
I took this photograph a few months ago and for some reason I keep going back to as one of my absolute favorites. Although it doesn’t show off her big beautiful blue eyes, I love how defined the features in her face are. She looks very sophisticated yet gorgeous at the same time.
Well, it time to get back to editing....I just returned from spending a few day in Washington, DC learning all sorts of new tricks & techniques that I can’t wait to try on upcoming photo sessions!
