Ainsley | Lancaster Newborn Photographer | Angie Englerth

Ainsley

When Zach and Rebecca reached out about booking a session for their newest baby girl, I was thrilled! Amelia was in the studio last spring and now I had the privilige of capturing sweet Ainsley!

I asked Rebecca a few questions and would love to share what she said with you all!

What was your favorite part about our session together?

“Seeing all the cute outfits Angie picked for our girl! It was also fun getting our first daughter into a few pictures with her new sister.”

How did you prepare for our photo shoot? How was your experience? Were you nervous or worried before? How did it turn out?

Angie had done our first baby's newborn shoot, so we knew we wanted her to do the second, too. We wanted the same "tone" to the pictures so we could display them side by side and didn't want to go to another photographer who didn't have the same vision.

Do you have a favorite photo from your session? If so, which one?

Yes! Angie found a beautiful lace wrap with a dusky rose / floral pattern on it and a matching headband and photographed Ainsley in a basket with dusky pink lining - it's BEAUTIFUL.

What would be your advice to someone considering booking with AEP?

If you have any preferences as to how you want your pictures to look, talk to Angie either before or during the session. She's really good about working with your tastes and what you're envisioning for poses/colors/props/etc.

What is the first thing that ran through your mind when you found out you were pregnant?

I was SHOCKED. Our first baby came after years of unexplained infertility, tests, and treatments, and I was not anticipating a second one being so uncomplicated. I found out I was pregnant again when my first baby was six months old.

What have been the most memorable parts of this pregnancy?  

This pregnancy was significantly more challenging, as I was already taking care of a baby, but there were plenty of good moments - most memorable was announcing that Amelia, my first daughter, was going to be a big sister and finding out on Christmas morning that we were having another girl! We used hot chocolate bombs with pink marshmallows inside to tell our family members.

Did you have any pregnancy cravings? What were they?

This time around, I loved Taco Bell chicken quesadillas (same as with my first pregnancy) and iced coffees.

Do you have other children? How do they react to the pregnancy?

Yes, I have a fifteen month old named Amelia - she was thrilled when we brought Ainsley home! From the first day we introduced them, Amelia referred to Ainsley as "May May" so that is now her name around the house. Amelia is a great helper and likes to rock her sister in the swing and the car seat, and she helps me change diapers and give bottles. We are working on being "gentle" with the baby, and so far, she's doing a great job!


What was the first thing you thought when you saw your baby for the first time?

I thought she looked exactly like her big sister!


And now, the part you’re really here for…here are some favorites from Amelia’s newborn session!

Amelia | Lancaster Newborn Photographer | Angie Englerth

Amelia

When Zach and Rebecca reached out about booking a session for their baby girl, I was thrilled! We used to go to church with these two and seeing them become parents was such a joy for me! Their baby girl Amelia is clearly their world…and rightfully so! She is the sweetest!

I asked Rebecca a few questions and would love to share what she said with you all!

What was your favorite part about our session together?
My favorite part was being able to rest and trusting Angie completely with our daughter - changing, posing, adjusting - and knowing she was safe the whole time. Even that two hours gave us a little break from the stress of being newborn parents!

How did you prepare for our photo shoot? How was your experience? Were you nervous or worried before? How did it turn out?
We have known Angie for years and were very comfortable with her skill level and expertise. Before the shoot, we fed our daughter so she was sleepy and cooperative, knowing that even if she wasn't, Angie would be able to work with her anyway. She was the perfect client, and we were all were very happy with how the shoot went and how Angie kept it fun the whole time and worked with props we brought along.

Do you have a favorite photo from your session? If so, which one?

Yes! The pictures with Daddy's bird feathers came out beautifully. I did not even anticipate our daughter looking like an egg in a nest, so that was an awesome surprise - just a testament to Angie's eye!

What is the first thing that ran through your mind when you found out you were pregnant?
I was surprised and relieved and scared all at the same time. We underwent fertility treatments and eventually an IUI procedure and got pregnant on our first round, which I was not expecting, so when the nurse called and told us it had worked and we'd have a baby in nine months, my whole world suddenly changed. I knew my body worked, I was capable of bringing a baby into this world, and that we had gotten what we had prayed for for years!

What have been the most memorable parts of this pregnancy?
I was blessed to have a very easy pregnancy, so I really enjoyed it! I loved feeling my daughter kicking and moving around and sharing those moments with her daddy. Watching my bump get a little bigger each week and documenting it in my daughter's baby book was really fun. I also can truthfully say I loved the birth experience, meeting my girl at the end of it, and getting to see my husband become a father.

Did you have any pregnancy cravings?
In the very beginning, I wanted feta cheese on everything. Then I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes around 30 weeks and craved everything I wasn't allowed to have. Taco Bell quesadillas were a favorite throughout my pregnancy, though!

And now, the part you’re really here for…here are some favorites from Amelia’s newborn session!

Ellie | Lancaster Newborn Photographer | Angie Englerth

ELLIE

Better late than never, right?! When Lauren & Jeremiah reached out about booking a newborn session for their newest addition, EXCITED is an understatement! I was so happy for them to have another bundle of joy and honored that they chose me to capture her for them! Ellie was due on Christmas so I could relate to Lauren with that because my Sawyer was due and came on 12/23! Ellie ended up arriving a little ealier though! Maddie is the best big sister to sweet little Ellie and capturing them was an absolute joy! Here are some favorites from their session with me!

**Take note of one where Ellie was on the beanbag posing and sweet Maddie came to lay her hand on her as to reassure her that all is well! It was the sweetest moment!!!

Kantner Family 2021 | Lancaster Family Photographer | Angie Englerth

Kantner Family

What a joy it has been to capture this family over the last several years! When they first told me they were moving, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t selfishly sad about it, but also, very excited for them! What a gift to these girls to get to experience life in this way!

To the Kantner family, I pray that you are settling in well to your new home and that you can enjoy the photos we’ve captured together for many more years to come!

I have to start this post with the image that started it all from the session that I first worked with this sweet family! Then sprinkle in some flashbacks to previous sessions and don’t forget their feature on the Love What Matters blog! Then the latest (and hopefully not last!) session with them!

---

Wyatt | Lancaster Newborn Photographer | Angie Englerth

WYATT

Cheyenne came to be just before her due date and thankfully, I was able to fit them in. I’m so glad it worked out because this family was so easy to work with and fun to chat with! Wyatt was just the sweetest and slept through his whole session. We finished everything in record time and the photos turned out wonderful! I will of course share some favorites, but first, here is a little Q&A with Cheyenne.

What was your favorite part about our session together?
Everything, watching my newborn smile and her capturing us and him.

How did you prepare for our photo shoot? How was your experience? Were you nervous or worried before? How did it turn out? 
Our experience was great. She knew her stuff, was quick, didn’t have to think, and was gentle with my son. The photos were AMAZING!!!!!

What is the first thing that ran through your mind when you found out you were pregnant?
Finally!! I am so excited and happy!!

What have been the most memorable parts of this pregnancy?
Feeling him kick. Rubbing my belly, not getting morning sickness.

Did you have any pregnancy cravings? What were they?
Rice crispy treats, lol, but I really wanted Savory foods.

Beckett | Lancaster Newborn Photographer | Angie Englerth Photography

BECKETT

Ashleigh first came to me back in 2016 (I think?) when her and Trevor were expecting their second child. They returned for more photos and then moved away for a few years. I was obviously thrilled to find out they moved back to PA and were expecting another sweet babe! This family is seriously the best and every session together just feels like hanging out with friends! Here are some favorites from Ashleigh’s latest maternity session as well as Beckett’s newborn session. Yes, these were from earlier this year. Yes, I have been a serious slacker with blogging. I’m sorry! I will try very hard to do better! Enjoy!

Don't believe me with how awesome this event is? Here are a few reviews from previous clients.

"She made it effortless! I walked in, picked my gown, sat down and got pampered with hair and make up, which by the way, I loved the make up artist! She truly made me feel beautiful. Then once it came to pictures, I had to hold back tears, because I could already envision the outcome of the photos and knew that Angie was capturing the magic that I felt! The slideshow was a perfect introduction to them!!! I had such anticipation for them and it was such a Special moment for me. I wasn't in Mason's newborn photos which I incredibly regret, and the bond that you can see in these photos have definitely filled the void of not having photos of the bond between newborn photos. I had been looking forward to this event forever, and had been talking about it to friends family and co workers and Angie had truly touched my heart in capturing these beautiful photos and moments of my best bud and I, thank you again!"    -Angilee

“This event was a milestone in my life. 2 years ago I decided to give it a go for the first year and trusted Angie when she encouraged me to do it even though I was very unsure. I was insecure about myself and had decided to start a journey into becoming healthier for myself and my family. She guaranteed that my daughters didn’t see the flaws that I did I myself. She captured the love that my daughters saw in me even though I had a hard time seeing it. Now 2 years later I was encouraged by my husband to have another mommy and me session after all the work I put into becoming healthier. And I am so glad I did another one. Because again I got to capture the “looks” and get all the “feels” that seeing how my girls look up to me no matter how I look.” -Jen 

"I was nervous about Wade in front of the camera since he is such a busy boy now at 6 months but Angie was perfect with him! I really loved that the time overlapped so we could share in the experience with other Moms, even if we didn't know each other, the energy was amazing. {At the order appointment, I was} Amazed! I was so glad to have such a beautiful experience and pictures to remember it by. It also meant a lot to my family to share in the ordering appointment."     -Jessica

 “{The products} are incredible! My favorite is the book! Nobody has time to sit down and make a scapbook anymore, so having the book is an awesome item to get! “ -Tiffany

"This event makes me feel like a mini celebrity... it's always nice to be pampered and feel 100% beautiful but then to share that beauty with my little girl next to me, who feels "so pretty" in her dress, just smiling, laughing and dancing, gives me such gratitude to share in these moments with her that she will be able to see as she grows up. A single picture can tell an entire story and reflect so much love, I only hope she sees, in these photos, all the love I have for her now, until forever."     -Lisa

“Just book a spot its something you won't regret! The event is a ton of fun getting your makeup and hair done with your child(ren) being taken care of during your pampering session. Angie works great with your children and is able to get wonderful shots even if your babies are being difficult! “ -Angie G.

“Definitely do it! Everyone was so inviting and it was great to be with other mommies. AND the pictures are perfection! “ -Andrea

”It was so special to have those moments with my baby and to capture this stage on film. Even though it's only been a few weeks, I'm already looking at the pictures and feeling nostalgic!” -Chelsea

Rose | Lancaster Newborn Photographer

ROSE

Elizabeth reached out to me before the pandemic and had her sweet baby Rose right in the middle of it all. On top of that, Rose had to spend some time in the NICU since she came quite early and was only 3.8 pounds. I cannot even imagine how difficult that truly was for them. I was so excited when she reached out again that she was ready to try for a newborn session. Rose was six weeks old by then, but since she was not at her gestational age yet, she was still itty bitty and a great sleeper! I can’t wait to share my favorites from her session! First, here is a little Q&A I did with Elizabeth.

What was your favorite part about our session together?
How sweet and gentle you were with our baby and how much she loved being swaddled.

What have been the most memorable parts of this pregnancy?
I had a lot of complications which were very frightening but otherwise I loved being pregnant and feeling her kick, especially.

Did you have any pregnancy cravings?
Eggs, peanut butter, and tacos. I was never sick.

How did you prepare for our photo shoot? How was your experience? Were you nervous or worried before? How did it turn out? 
This was one of our first outings after she got home from the NICU and we were nervous about taking her out but SO excited. It turned out beautifully and was so relaxing.

And now for the part you came for….photos from Rose’s sweet newborn session!

Kristin & Olivia | Mommy & Me {Dream Lighting} Event | Angie Englerth Photography

Kristin & Olivia

I have been working with Kristin and Olivia for many years now and was so excited when Kristin booked a spot at this year’s Mommy & Me Event! I truly can never put into words what this event means to me and what it does for each mama that walks through the door. Yes, you are pampered. Yes, you get time with girlfriends. Yes, you get to dress up. But the real treat? You get to capture the look that your children give you to keep forever. Their love and adoration is so evident in these images and for me, the most rewarding part of my job is watching these mamas realize that when they view their images.

If you are considering joining this event next year, be sure to sign up for the newsletter! The planning has already begun and I promise you will not regret coming out!

Now, here are some favorites from Kristin & Olivia’s session!

Julie & Tim | Lancaster Maternity Photographer | Angie Englerth Photography

Julie & Tim

I would like to introduce you to my beautiful cousin Julie. When we moved to Lancaster in 2001, I didn’t know anyone and was so thankful I had cousins to hang out with and have fun with! Julie became like another sister to me growing up and the memories are endless!

Fun fact: I was hanging out in Julie’s room with her when Ben (my husband) called me and asked me out on our first date! She was cheering me on silently while I accepted the invitation and look at us now….9 years and 3 kids later!

Now for the fun part….we had the most beautiful weather for Julie & Tim’s session and an absolutely gorgeous sunset! Here are a bunch of my favorites!

(and of course some throwbacks to the good old days…)

Lisa & Keana | Mommy & Me {Dream Lighting} Event 2020

Mommy & Keana

Lisa first came to me when she was pregnant with Keana. We have worked together for her maternity, newborn and many milestone and family sessions. One thing I have treasured is that Lisa came to my first Mommy & Me {Dream Lighting} Event without really knowing what to expect and has since returned to every event. It is so fun to watch Keana grow up right in front of the camera and even more so to watch their mommy/daughter relationship blossom!

First, look at this fun throwback to see all of Lisa and Keana’s Mommy & Me Sessions to date. Then, of course some favorites from this year’s session!

Alexander | Lancaster Newborn Photographer | Angie Englerth Photography

Alexander

Alison reached out to me just before Christmas and we were able to get her and Alex in at the beginning of the new year. He was the first newbie in the studio in 2020 and did a great job for his session!

Now, enjoy some favorites from Alexander’s session!

Take the Picture | Lancaster Maternity, Newborn & Family Photographer | Angie Englerth

Hey mama! Yes, you! Hiding in the bathroom? Feeding your baby in the dark? Sitting in the car for a few minutes before going into the grocery store? I see you. I am you.

The late nights. The bodily fluids, my gosh, the amount of bodily fluids little humans can make! The tantrums. The clinginess. The endless laundry. The mess of toys. Motherhood is full of challenges.

If you’re like me, you can’t wait for your kids to go to bed each night. Then you lay in bed looking at pictures of them reminding yourself how much you love them and how much more meaningful your life is because of them.

That’s where I come in! Let’s chat about the moments you’d like to freeze in time with a photo. You know, the smiles and laughs. The wonder in their eyes. The endless snuggles, kisses and repeated whispers of “I love you Mommy.”

Let’s capture it together so when you’re hiding in the bathroom or the car or the floor in your closet (no? Just me?), you can look at your phone background and be reminded that it’s all worth it.

All that to say, booking for Spring 2020 is now open!

Kanter Family | Lancaster Family Photographer | Angie Englerth

Kanter Family

It’s been way too long since I have blogged a session so I’m just going to jump back in! Hopefully I can catch up and share all the fun sessions we’ve had around here lately! Starting with the Kanter family! We had such a fun session and while all the girls weren’t always 100% into it, we made sure to take lots of “breaks” for play!

Grace | Mommy & Me {Dream Lighting} Session | Angie Englerth

Grace

When Grace reached out to me to request a Mommy & Me session, I was thrilled. This would be my last session before maternity leave and what a way to go out! We planned the dresses and then the crowns and were so excited when the session day arrived. Grace and Katrina were so fun together and rocked their whole session! Here are a few favorites from the session including Grace’s choice for a canvas to hang in her office!

Chelsea | Mommy & Me {Dream Lighting} Event | Angie Englerth

Chelsea

When Chelsea signed up for this year’s event, I did a little happy dance. See, Chelsea is married to Ben’s cousin and when family trusts me to capture their memories and chooses to invest in my small business, it is the biggest compliment I can ask for! Here’s a little Q&A with Chelsea and some favorites from her session with Cody.

What was your initial reaction when you saw the ad for the Mommy & Event for the first time?
Yay, I'm a mom now- I can participate!

What expectations did you have for the day of the event? What were your concerns?
I expected it to be fun, and was confident that Angie would have everything well set up, especially since she had done this event several times before.

What is something you loved about the event day itself?
I loved getting in front of the camera with Cody because he's such a ham. I could just kind of goof around with him and know that Angie would capture all the special moments.

What was your initial reaction to your images? How was your order appointment?
Loved the pictures. I brought my husband with so we could see them for the first time together, and it was so much fun to look through them in person so Angie could see our reactions.

What did this event mean to you?
It was so special to have those moments with my baby and to capture this stage on film. Even though it's only been a few weeks, I'm already looking at the pictures and feeling nostalgic!

In one word, how would you describe this event?
Memorable

Is there an image that stands out as a favorite? What is it? Why is it your favorite?
The one where my son is looking at me. We had such trouble getting a picture of him looking at me because he was distracted by the camera and the lights. When he finally did, Angie captured the moment and it was so special. Absolutely worth it, and that's definitely my favorite picture.

And now for the fun part, the images from Chelsea’s spot at our event! Enjoy!

Jen | Mommy & Me {Dream Lighting} Event | Angie Englerth

Jen

Jen attended our first ever Mommy & Me {Dream Lighting} Event so I was excited to see she was returning again for our 3rd! Her and her girls are always a joy to work with! I asked Jen a few questions about her experience and here is what she had to say:

What was your initial reaction when you saw the ad for the Mommy & Event for the first time?
So glad you were continuing to bless mommas with a photo shoot/day for them.

What expectations did you have for the day of the event? What were your concerns?
Honestly I have become so trusted in Angie that I knew things would turn out great. No worries. Even waited to the last minute to check to see what I needed bc I put my full trust in Angie. And my pictures turned out better then I could have imagined.

What is something you loved about the event day itself?
I loved that their was a separate hair and makeup person to move things quickly but those girls were so personal and made each of us mommas feel so wonderful. I loved the babysitting also!

What was your initial reaction to your images? How was your order appointment?
I told myself I would not look at the faults of my body in the pictures and just look at the whole thing. And honestly I was so overwhelmed with joy how each picture captured the love and personality of myself and my girls.

What did this event mean to you?
This event was a milestone in my life. 2 years ago I decided to give it a go for the first year and trusted Angie when she encouraged me to do it even though I was very unsure. I was insecure about myself and had decided to start a journey into becoming healthier for myself and my family. She guaranteed that my daughters didn’t see the flaws that I did I myself. She captured the love that my daughters saw in me even though I had a hard time seeing it. Now 2 years later I was encouraged by my husband to have another mommy and me session after all the work I put into becoming healthier. And I am so glad I did another one. Because again I got to capture the “looks” and get all the “feels” that seeing how my girls look up to me no matter how I look.

In one word, how would you describe this event?
Perfect

What would you say to someone contemplating booking a spot at the next event?
You don’t ever get to do these moments over again while your kids are at this age. If you ever want to capture the way your kids see you this is the event to do. The pictures Angie captures are priceless and show the real love between a mom and her kid(s)!

Is there an image that stands out as a favorite? What is it? Why is it your favorite?
Honestly I have two. The imagine of me twirling both my girls. It captures each girls personality. And the other one is me tickling them. I can’t get enough of those laughs/smiles.

And now for the fun part, the images from Tasha’s spot at our event! Enjoy!

Tasha | Mommy & Me {Dream Lighting} Event | Angie Englerth

Tasha

When Tasha signed up for this year’s event, I was so excited to have her there! I have clients who regularly see me throughout the year (Tasha being one of them), but have never done anything quite like this event. It’s always exciting to get to watch a mama experience it for the first time! I asked Tasha a few questions about her experience and here is what she had to say:

What was your initial reaction when you saw the ad for the Mommy & Event for the first time?
I loved the idea!

What expectations did you have for the day of the event? What were your concerns?
I was excited to not have to worry about hair and makeup! I was worried my daughter might get overwhelmed with all the people around but she did pretty well!

What is something you loved about the event day itself?
I loved the whole feel of the event, that it made me and my kids feel special and taken care of!

What was your initial reaction to your images? How was your order appointment?
I absolutely love all the images!! They are amazing and more than I could have imagined, it was so hard to pick favorites during my order appointment!

What did this event mean to you?
It meant a lot for me to be able to participate this year and I’m so glad I was able to. I’m so happy to have these images with my kids and even the memory of the day itself is so special!

In one word, how would you describe this event?
Special

What would you say to someone contemplating booking a spot at the next event?
Do it! It’s something you will never regret to have these special moments captured with your kids!

And now for the fun part, the images from Tasha’s spot at our event! Enjoy!

This event is the first time I have worked with Kara and I am so glad she was able to join us for this event! She is a mama to three of the sweetest little men (yes, they’re triplets!) and she is the best example of patience and grace! Her session was nothing short of exciting with Paul, Gabe and Dom keeping us on our toes, but the end results are nothing short of beautiful! I asked Kara a few questions about her experience and here is what she had to say:

What was your initial reaction when you saw the ad for the Mommy & Event for the first time?
It looked like a great opportunity to finally be in the photo with the boys instead of behind the camera.

What expectations did you have for the day of the event? What were your concerns?
My biggest concern was how the boys would handle all the excitement and being in a new place.

What is something you loved about the event day itself?
How organized everything was.

What was your initial reaction to your images? How was your order appointment?
I LOVE them! The order appointment went great.

What did this event mean to you?
I want my boys to always know how much I loved and wanted them. We lost 3 babies before they were born. In fact they were born a year to the day after we lost twin girls. I worked so hard to get those boys here, and sometime with three it is hard to make them all feel special. I love that these photos will be part of the tangible evidence they will always have or how much they mean to me.

In one word, how would you describe this event?
Perfect

What would you say to someone contemplating booking a spot at the next event?
Go ahead and do it. You definitely won’t regret it. If I can do it with 3 22 month olds, you definitely can do it.

Is there an image that stands out as a favorite? What is it? Why is it your favorite?
I have two favorites. The one of all of us sitting on the floor and the one of Gabe and I smiling for the camera that I picked for the locket. Gabe is such a daddy’s boy it was nice to have time with him.

And now for the fun part, the images from Kara’s spot at our event! Enjoy!
