Newborn + Maternity + Milestone Photography Serving Lanc. PA

14 years of experience creating and capturing the details and memories of the tiniest gifts


Your photography for all phases


Some seasons it feels like everyone around you is expecting. Maybe for you, it's been a long journey to finally get a positive test. Whatever your story is, we would be super honored to be your Newborn Photographer. After 14 years, ongoing education, style changes, updated props/backdrops and capturing over 2000 newborns, we still LOVE every moment of this season. We have many families return for their 5th newborn.

If you are expecting in 2024, it's time to get on our due date calendar. We are excited to roll out some new opportunities to create your Newborn Collection. This year, we will be booking 2 clients per month for Fresh 48 Sessions where I will come to you in the hospital and capture the freshest natural images of your baby. These sessions provide an opportunity for you to get those first hours/day within birth where we capture all the macro details of their tiny toes, lips, fingers, head, as well as a simple wrap (yours or ours) in their bassinet and a neutral knit sweater with a diaper/diaper cover to show off all their features. We will even take a few pictures (if you desire) of parent/s and siblings if they are there. We will simply just come as we are with our camera, a wrap and use that natural window lighting.

We are also offering 3 levels of Studio Newborn Collections to choose. And as a bonus if you book a Studio Newborn Session at the same time you book a Fresh 48 (yes they are very different) or a maternity, we will provide a discount code for choosing two. Just ask us for the code prior to booking. Check out our investment page for all the details, swoon over our social pages and website and let's start creating your session together. We also specialize in creating custom One Year Smash and Splash Sessions and capturing the moments of your baby growing from Maternity and beyond.

We have a comfortable in-home studio with hundreds of props to create a unique session with your favorite colors and tones. We also have a 10 acre property in Lancaster County PA for milestone and family sessions.

Upon purchasing your package, you will be contacted by Jen to begin the creative process which includes customizing your session (we do all the work) and a digital Prep Guide to help you prepare for these special moments. Ready, set, Book!

Shares her experience

MariposaPix is simply the best newborn photo experience start to finish! I have used Jen for all 4 of my babies and her photos get better each time. I love that you can pick a few colors you want and she creates beautiful photos using props, swaddles, backdrops etc. based on your choices. The experience is great--she has a nice calm room for moms & others to lounge in while her & her assistant work hard to capture amazing pictures. She turns around sneak peeks fast. I loved my pictures.

Jen Shares Her Heart on Experience

Twelve years ago, I am not sure I would have understood how important time, education, investment, and experience mattered. It is working hard, sweating, staying up late nights, learning from others ahead of me, and actually photographing over 1200 newborns. I am not claiming that I have arrived. A photographer should always be learning. But I will say that there is a HUGE difference between where I began and where I am now. I have more to offer my clients today. Read a little bit about what I've learned and 3 Tips to Choose Your Newborn Photographer here. I love my clients as each of them have their own story that unravels as we work together. As a friend and mentor has shared, 'You have this amazing opportunity to provide families with a memory that they will cherish as they watch their children grow. What a gift you give to your clients!'
