Lancaster County PA Newborn and Maternity Photographer

As we look ahead to 2025


This year, we celebrate our 15th year photographing thousands of newborns, children and families. One of the best parts of our business is meeting YOU! We are so grateful for the families who have become friends. As our family has grown so much in the last 3 years (yay!), we have limited our sessions to stay healthy and provide our clients the best experience. With 5 grandchildren of our own, we are taking extra family time in this season. Please contact us if you interested in our newborn photography in 2025. We will be limiting how many newborn 'due dates' we book per month so send us a contact to check to see if your requested session/date is available.


We are still very much photographing and have quite a few babies due in December and January so we are fully booked for those months.


Happy Holidays and God Bless your family,

Jen

Welcome to Mariposapix Photography

Located on a family homestead in northern hills of Lancaster County, PA we strive to provide an experience where families become friends. Our first love and expertise is capturing the purest miracles of a newborn. With fifteen years experience, we creatively design each session to match your family's style. Do you love natural, boho, chic, vintage, or pops of color? Let's start the conversation by dreaming of the art you want to display throughout your home. The images that make your friends and family stop and shed some tears will be those that we capture of your family. Our newborn sessions are pre-booked using your due date so you can go into your final months of pregnancy confident that Jen and her team will be ready when the baby arrives.

A Momma of Four

Shares her experience

Mariposa Photography 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

Fifteen years ago, I am not sure I would have understood how important time, education, investment, and experience would create the best memories for families. It is working hard, sweating, staying up late nights, learning from others ahead of me, and actually photographing over 2500 newborns, children and families that is chosen among the sea of options out there. 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. I love my clients and you will see that as we work together over the years. 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!'

Capturing Memories

Where does the magic happen?

We are located on Camp Road just north of Manheim PA. We have a restored farmhouse where we intentionally created a space for our home studio and relaxing family lounge for parents and families to feed the baby, change clothing, enjoy some snacks and coffee and rest during their newborn session. Just outside our home, you will see 10 acres of lush meadow that comes alive in the Summer and Fall for outdoor family sessions. This is where you will see the joy in your children's eyes as they run and smile!
