Five-Star Central Pennsylvania Portrait photographer

Trust me, I get it... Even the idea of picture day can bring on thoughts of pure dread... The scheduling, talking hubby into it, having nightmares that the kids will fake "cheese" smiles (or worse - have a full blown meltdown), and that it'll just be a waste of money.  Plus you still have that extra 10 pounds you've been meaning to lose, so you just know you're gonna hate how you look.... And don't even get me started on choosing outfits!!!

 ... MAMA - Guess What?  It DOESN'T have to be Like THAT...

What if I told you that I can make your photo session easy, stress-free, and maybe even FUN?!

My approach to sessions is casual, light-hearted, and always from a mother's perspective. I want these images to bring a smile to your face every time you see them. But even more than that, I want your children to have tangible memories, long after we are gone.

Our kids are the most photographed generation to ever live. Let's not leave them with an outdated device full of snapshots. It's my goal to provide you with more than just photos. I will guide you through the entire process, providing you with an experience from inquiry to delivery that you'll look forward to each year.

Guess What?

If you're looking for:

a natural & Comfortable Experience

You want to feel calm & relaxed, not awkward & stiff when it comes to your photos.  You also want genuine expressions of your littles so you can remember this time.

An Efficient & Fast Professional

A longer session does not necessarily mean a better session.  We can do a lot in a short time, and I'd much rather end it with high-fives than with tears so your kiddos (& hubby) don't dread the next time you say "picture day"!

Tons of help to get you prepared

I have a whole arsenal of resources waiting to help you find the perfect outfits and love the way you look, beautiful location suggestions, and tips on prepping the kids to make it a stress-free experience!

I have Great News -

I have a teenage son & a baby girl myself, which means that I'm gonna be approaching your session in the exact way that I want my own family photos to be created.  I completely understand your anxiety and concerns.  I get that there may still be some baby (or quarantine) weight that you want help to hide so you look your best, and I know that you're worried the kids may be uncooperative.  But I'm going to guide you through everything.  Don't worry...

I've got you.

I'm the photographer you've been looking for!

Meet the Webers...

Hey, I'm Erin... Welcome to my chaos!  Wife to David.  Mom to 17 year old Nicolas.  Mama to two year old Sage.  Business owner.  Coffee addict & efficiency-junkie (for all the aforementioned reasons).  And THIS is exactly why photos are so important, no matter what stage of life you're in - here's how much Sage grew in just the months since this family photo was taken.  AND here's a photo of Nicolas that I could have sworn was only taken a few years ago!

This is us -

Quick side story... Sage is a VERY happy kid, always smiling!  Guess what happened on our picture day when she was 6 months?  Yep - I got a total of ZERO smiles out of her from that session! I was a bit bummed at the time because her smile lights up the room, but looking back, I'm so glad I have them (extra baby weight, no smile from Sage & all)! 

“She's become such a SPECIAL part of our Family TRADITION!”

Erin is so talented and down to earth! She’s been taking photos of my family for years and never ceased to amaze us! Her creative touch is so inspiring, I just love letting her get into her zone and seeing what she comes up with. We love Erin so much!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I schedule outdoor portrait sessions between daylight savings times - mid March - early November (with the exception of maternity sessions that have a "due date").
  • Weekends are very limited due to weddings.
Evening times listed below are the best starting times based on sunset to get the best light. Other times can still work and sometimes it's best to go off of "happy time" for kids.  I've tried to list on the locations which are good for anytime of day.
  • 5:00 March
  • 5:30 April
  • 6:30 May
  • 7:00 June
  • 7:00 July
  • 6:00 August
  • 5:30 September
  • 4:30 October
  • 4:00 November
  • During the days leading up to your session, I’ll be keeping an eye on the forecast. If it’s looking like it may be raining, snowing, or other inclement weather, I’ll be in touch the day before.
  • If it's going to be under 50 degrees or over 85 degrees, I may ask to reschedule outdoor sessions (with the possible exception of maternity sessions that have a "due date"). Red noses, splotchy cheeks & teary eyes, or sweaty hot faces & clothing just aren't a good look and nearly impossible to edit out.
  • Hey, it happens!  I have a lot of tricks up my sleeve and can often make it work, but if they just aren't having it, then we'll just reschedule for another time that's convenient for both of us.  In other words: no matter what, we are going to work together to capture your kiddos.
  • I should probably note that this does not apply to grumpy husbands or kids who are old enough to behave for the session. ;)

So, if you're ready for an easy and stress-free experience... to finally get family photos you love, & to stop dreading picture day... 

I know there's a lot of uncertainty in the world today, but my promise to you is to live by the Golden Rule and treat others the way that I want to be treated.  We are all in this together.  Please let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas!

then let's get you on the schedule!
