MODERN FAMILY PORTRAITS
Hershey and Harrisburg’s premier photographer for families that want a custom, personalized portrait experience and high-end, heirloom wall art and products. I am a full-service portrait photographer and believe in creating so much for more you than just a bunch of digital images.
There is POWER in a photograph. I believe in the importance of capturing beautiful portraits of your family because our kids grow up so fast, people pass on, and ten years go by in the blink of an eye.
There is something powerful in having tangible albums and artwork to pass down from generation to generation. Digital files are temporary, can go corrupt over time, and often collect dust on a hard drive in a drawer somewhere. I design custom wall art displays for any area of your home and handcrafted albums to document your family’s story. Both are beautiful options to tell your family’s story and to add luxury and style to your home.
"Choosing Kat for our family portraits was one of the best decisions we've ever made! From the very beginning, Kat made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Her friendly demeanor and professionalism instantly put us at ease, making the photoshoot feel more like a fun outing than a formal session. Kat's expertise in wardrobe selection was a game-changer; she helped us coordinate outfits that looked cohesive yet allowed our individual personalities to shine through. When it came to selecting locations, Kat's creativity truly shone. She found the perfect spots that not only provided stunning backdrops but also reflected our family's vibe perfectly. The end result? Amazing photos and some stunning framed portraits for our home! If you're looking for a photographer who not only delivers breathtaking images but also makes the entire process easy and enjoyable, look no further than Sapphire & Stone Studios. We can't recommend her enough!" - Jackie

At this appointment, we will discuss your style and vision for the shoot. We will start to plan out wardrobe & location options to guide the creative vision for your session.
YOUR DREAM PHOTOSHOOT
It’s shoot day!! Our sessions are held either in our Palmyra studio or on location and will last 2-3 hours. Hair and makeup is available as an add-on to any session.
PROFESSIONAL RETOUCHING & EDITING
All sessions undergo magazine-style retouching to ensure to capture you at your very best. We aim to show you between 60-120 retouched image proofs for ordering.
IMAGE REVEAL & ORDERING
At this appointment, we’ll meet in person, either at my studio or in your home to view and order your final images. I’ll guide you through my product and wall art options to best display your final portraits.
DELIVERY & INSTALLATION
At this point, I’ll finish designing your wall art, albums, or retouching digital images. All products will be delivered and professionally installed on your walls (as needed) within 2 weeks from your ordering appointment.
"Choosing Sapphire & Stone for our family portraits was a breeze. From the start, Kat made us feel right at home. She's so sweet and easy to vibe with. The whole process felt like hanging out with a friend who just happens to take amazing photos. Kat's got this knack for making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. We didn't have to worry about a thing—she guided us through everything from outfit selection to which images to frame in our home. Our photos turned out even better than we imagined. If you want awesome family portraits without any stress, Kat's your go-to. Seriously, you won't regret it!" - Megan
