Welcome! I’ve recently moved from O‘ahu to Carlisle, Pennsylvania. You may still see some Hawai‘i scenery while I update the site for my new home. I’m so happy you’re here!
Carlisle, PA
Family Photographer
A Family Memory
The personalities, the connection, the joy, the imperfect beauty of your family.
I’m Kimberly, a Carlisle, PA family photographer who specializes in candid, joy-filled sessions and serves families throughout Central Pennsylvania, including Mechanicsburg, Camp Hill, Harrisburg, and Hershey. My goal is to give you portraits you’ll love, print, and never want to stop looking at: family photography that reflects your real story.
Sometimes, what feels frustrating in the moment becomes the memory you’ll appreciate most.
I’m here to capture it all…..beautiful, candid family portraits that feel like you.
I have two young boys. I know how these things can be. Another thing you have to plan, another thing on the long checklist, in the middle of your already-packed parenting life.
As a Carlisle PA photographer, I know how real family life is; I know how these things can be. Another thing you have to plan, another thing on the long checklist, in the middle of your already-packed parenting life.
That’s why my sessions are relaxed, playful, and shaped around what your family needs. Maybe that means an easy evening at a beautiful local spot. Maybe it means staying home, exploring somewhere you love, or building the session around something your family enjoys doing together. Either way, you’ll walk away with artful, joy-filled photographs that capture more than what your family looks like. They’ll hold something of what your life together feels like.
The little fingers, the smirky smiles, the teeth that don’t quite fit.
The three-year-old clutching a Hot Wheel.
The nine-year-old who refuses sandals.
The teen who groans the whole car ride.
Capturing You
You’re probably here because you’re planning a family photo session in Central Pennsylvania, and you want someone who can make the whole thing feel easy (and maybe even fun). That’s me.
As a Carlisle, PA family photographer, I’ll help you choose the kind of session that fits your family, from a simple evening together at a beautiful local spot to a more personal session shaped around your real life. I’ll guide you through the planning and help everyone feel comfortable once we begin. Your children don’t need to behave perfectly, and you don’t need to know what to do in front of the camera. You just need to show up as yourselves.
No pressure to perform. I’m calm and patient with children (and parents). Your kids are allowed to be kids, and no one needs to behave perfectly for me to create meaningful photographs.
A session shaped around your family. I’ll help you choose the right location, plan what to wear, and decide how you want to spend our time. Your session doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.
Nearly a decade of experience. I’ve photographed families in Hawai‘i, Germany, Alaska, Colombia, and beyond. I know how to read a family, adjust when something isn’t working, and keep creating through the unpredictable parts.
Photographs meant to live beyond your screen. I’ll help you choose what to print and offer guidance for albums and wall art, whether you order through me or print them yourself.
