2026: The Year of Giving Thanks! ~ Photo Session Giveaway

As I looked ahead to 2026, I kept coming back to one word: gratitude.

Gratitude for the families who trust me with their memories. Gratitude for the milestones I get to witness from behind the lens. Gratitude for a business that’s grown slowly, steadily, and soulfully over the last 15 years... all because of you.

Giving is the greatest gift of all.

Starting in January, I’ll be giving away one complimentary photo session every single month to someone who truly deserves it. A parent who’s always behind the camera. A teacher who pours everything into their students. A family going through a hard season. Someone who wouldn’t book a session for themselves, but would light up to receive one.

How the Photo Session Giveaway Works

Each month in 2026, I’ll select one individual or family to receive:

✨ A 30-minute session in either my Bethlehem, PA studio or on-location in the Lehigh Valley

✨ 5 professionally edited digital images

✨ And a memory that might just mean more than they know!

But here’s the most important part: I’m not choosing alone. I’m asking you, my clients and community, to help me find them for this photo session giveaway!

Nominate Someone Deserving

If you know someone who could use a little light this year, someone who hasn’t had updated photos in years, someone who would treasure this gift more than words, you can nominate them.

It can be a friend, a neighbor, a co-worker, or even a stranger whose story moved you. No long essay required... just a few sentences about who they are and why they deserve this giveaway.

👉 Nominate someone here 

On the 5th of each month, I’ll read every nomination and select one recipient to surprise with a free session. You may enter ONE nomination per month. If your nominee is not chosen, you can nominate them multiple times! Also as a thank you for your time, if your nominee is chosen, you will also receive a $25 gift certificate.

2026 is the Year of Giving Thanks and I can’t wait to celebrate it by giving, connecting, and capturing the kinds of moments that matter most.

Thank you for being here and for supporting this little dream of mine. Thank you for helping me make someone’s month, twelve times over.

As always, I respect the privacy of everyone that I photograph, therefore giveaway winners may be announced, photos and/or stories shared only with their permission.

With gratitude & love,

Becky

🍂Fall Photo Session Options with a Lehigh Valley Photographer

As the air turns crisp and the leaves begin to glow with vibrant autumn colors, fall becomes one of the most requested times of year for family portraits. The scenery is breathtaking, the weather is comfortable, and the golden tones of the season create the perfect backdrop for timeless photographs.

As an experienced Lehigh Valley Photographer, I offer three different types of fall family sessions designed to meet your needs—whether you’re looking for a quick seasonal update or a full session with endless variety.

Fall Mini Sessions – Seasonal & Fun

Fall Mini Sessions are the perfect way to capture your family during the height of autumn color. These sessions are held only on select dates at two gorgeous locations (Archibald Johnson Estate & Albert Ponds Preserve), carefully chosen to offer the most stunning backdrops at peak season.

Each mini session is 20 minutes long, giving you a fast-paced, fun experience while still delivering a beautiful selection of images to choose from. Affordable and seasonal, Fall Minis are ideal for families who want to update their portraits for holiday cards or simply enjoy a quick snapshot of life at this stage.

Family Short & Sweet Outdoor Sessions – Quick & Flexible

If you’re looking for a weekday option at a discounted rate, a Family Short & Sweet Outdoor Session may be the perfect fit. Also 20 minutes in length, these sessions give you just enough time to capture updated family portraits without a long time commitment.

Unlike Fall Minis, the location is more flexible, with several options available depending on the date and my schedule. These sessions are a wonderful choice for families who want a simple, stress-free experience with a few fresh portraits to enjoy and share.

Family Outdoor Sessions – Full Experience

For those who want it all, a Family Outdoor Session is the most complete fall portrait experience. With one full hour together, we’ll capture a wide variety of backgrounds, poses, and portrait combinations so that nothing is missed.

You’ll have the freedom to choose the location and I’ll happily guide you in selecting both the setting and timing to take advantage of prime fall color. These sessions allow us to create a rich and diverse gallery, from posed family portraits to candid moments that truly reflect your family’s personality.
