It’s been 10+ years since I first started this business but since 2008, one thing has stayed the same – my love for newborn photography.  Posed, lifestyle, after-birth, in-hospital, studio – it doesn’t matter – I love capturing it all!  I have been blessed to capture many tiny little newborns in the Hagerstown, Md, Chambersburg, PA and surrounding areas over the years and love welcoming those clients back to the studio to document milestone sessions as the child grows.  As we closed out 2018 and ushered in 2019, here were some of the most recent babies I had the pleasure of working with!  For more information on pricing please view our investment tab here http://www.snipsandsnailsphotography.com/main.php#!/pages/investment/price-menu

I was so happy to photograph this little guy and his family! He was so full of smiles the entire session and even gave me a few winks!  Once a baby is able to sit unassisted there are so many fun setups we can do and their personality just shines!  A few images from this fun session!

If you have a sitter or soon to be sitter, call the studio to capture this fun milestone! 717.597.0952

 

 

 

If you live in the Hagerstown, Chambersburg, Waynesboro, Frederick or surrounding areas, and I was lucky enough to meet your growing family and capture some newborn baby images for you, there is a good chance you have been included in our newly published book, Baby Steps | A Celebration of New Beginnings!

When this little 6 lbs newborn’s mom contacted me about newborn portraits and wanted an organic/rustic feel to the images, I knew they would be the perfect fit at Snips and Snails Photography.  Their little one was a perfect addition just after Valentine’s Day and so fun to work with!  He had the sweetest face that somehow looked wiser in years than that of a newborn and his expressions (especially the smiles) melted my heart.  Happy to share a few favorites from his newborn session!  Congratulations to these new parents!

 

 

With the start of 2017, Snips and Snails Photography of Greencastle, PA has raised the bar on capturing and presenting a quality, heirloom newborn baby photography product.  We are pleased to offer this amazing wooden keepsake box with the purchase of the full set of digital images from your newborn session that highlights baby’s birth info, a wooden USB with the digital files AND 10 gorgeous 5×7 images printed on our finest deep matte photo paper.

Here at Snips and Snails Photography we know you are excited about ALL of your images you just purchased as digital files and have every intention to print them right away.  BUT, we also know what it’s like to be a new mom or dad with little sleep and lots to do with little time.  SO, we’ve got you covered – we have included a few gorgeous prints to have right away with your purchase of those files.  Now you can share some of your session images right away with friends and family and maybe give some to grandparents or keep them all for yourself and watch how quickly your little one grows from those first few days after birth.  Now THIS is the way digital files are meant to be presented.

To welcome the new year, Snips and Snails Photography posted a contest on facebook to provide a free simple photo session and images to the first parents to contact me of the first baby born at either Meritus Hagerstown, Chambersburg or Waynesboro hospital in 2017!  The parents of the first newborn in 2017 at Waynesboro hospital were the first to contact me and as such the lucky winners!  I had a chance to meet and photograph their newborn baby girl in my studio this morning and what a beautiful, easy going baby she was!  We were able to capture some gorgeous images of her within the span of about 20 minutes!  Here are a few from her newborn session!  This was such a fun way to begin the new year, I plan to offer it again in 2018!

 

I really enjoyed this fall session in the woods last weekend.  I am so happy mom is pregnant with number 2 and look forward to meeting her!  This little girl could not have been any cuter or more fun to capture.  She took directions better than most 5 year olds I have photographed (including my own for sure!)  I look forward to sharing their gallery with them this week!

For now, here are some sneak peeks of my favorites…

Are you ready?  Father’s Day is just around the corner and you can bet he is expecting all the perks that go with being a dad (remember how great you were treated on Mother’s Day this past weekend?)  Just in time to celebrate dad, Snips and Snails Photography is offering 20% off all photo jewelry through 31 May!  Ordering is easy, just contact the studio at 717.597.0952!  And just in case YOU MOMS missed out on Mother’s Day – you can take advantage of this special too (shhhh, I won’t tell anyone dad forgot 🙂

You have spent countless hours (and often money too) getting ready for this – everything from getting haircuts to new outfits to discussions on how the children will behave.  For what?  The best images of your family of course!  After so much is invested in your portrait, why not invest as much time in determining the optimal way to display them?  Sure, this type of planning is part of the benefit of viewing your images in a scheduled presentation but here is a few combinations to get you thinking before you even step foot in the studio.  After all, why not think about what you will do with all those great images – it definitely should impact all the other planning (i.e., outfits, who is in the images, etc.) that goes into your portrait session.

Here are 4 easy ways to decorate a wall in your home or office – using either gallery wrap stretched canvas art, standout mountings or frames! 

Wow…doesn’t art displayed like this make all that pre-planning work worth it!
