Central PA Portrait Photographer capturing families, seniors, newborns, & more — beautifully documented through an effortless blend of warmth and simplicity.
ERIN LEIGH
Because every season of life deserves to be seen, remembered, and celebrated.
From growing families and sweet newborn snuggles to high school seniors stepping into their next chapter — every stage of life carries meaning worth preserving. These chapters deserve to be seen for what they are: real, fleeting, and full of personality.
My portrait sessions are crafted with intention — a space where you can relax, be yourselves, and trust that I’ll capture the heart of your story. Whether it’s a fresh new headshot, a long-anticipated maternity session, or time spent with multiple generations of your family, you’ll walk away with imagery that feels effortless, genuine, and totally you.

I’m here for the basics… and for the bold.
Whether it’s a simple yearly family update or something fun like a water or paint session, a unique gender reveal, getting dressed up to the nines, or even slipping back into your wedding dress — sessions with personality fuel my creativity.
My family loves traveling, camping, exploring new places — the beach & the mountains — so truly, nothing is off the table. Headed somewhere fun? Tell me your dates and location, and we’ll see what we can make happen!

My Approach
“She’s very easy to work with and truly cares about her clients.”
Calm
presence
The goal is simple: relaxed energy and authentic connection. Sessions unfold naturally so nothing feels forced or overly directed.
Intuitive
timing
Moments unfold best when they aren’t forced. Cues and interactions are observed closely so the in-between expressions and quiet magic can rise to the surface.
Wiggles
welcome
Kids aren’t expected to sit still or perform. Space to move, explore, and express themselves creates the most heartfelt, authentic images with genuine smiles.
Connection at the
core
Portraits are guided by the dynamics between the people in front of the lens. The focus stays on authentic interactions, tenderness, and the small details that matter most.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
My goal is to make every session feel easy and enjoyable while maintaining the same level of excellence, clear communication, and care that my clients have come to expect.
Q. Where do sessions take place?
Most sessions happen outdoors in the Hershey, Lancaster, or Harrisburg areas — but I’m always happy to travel to a location that feels meaningful to you.
Q. What if the weather doesn’t cooperate?
During the days leading up to your session, I’ll be keeping a close eye on the forecast. If it looks like rain, snow, or other inclement weather, I’ll reach out the day before to discuss options.
For outdoor sessions, I may suggest rescheduling if temperatures are below 50°, above 85°, or winds exceed 10 mph (with the possible exception of maternity sessions with a “due date”). Red noses, splotchy cheeks, and sweaty faces just aren’t a good look — and they’re nearly impossible to edit out.
If you know your schedules could be difficult to align for a reschedule last minute, we can book a reschedule date at the same time you book your preferred date.
Q. Do you offer studio newborn sessions?
