My magical location for children photography

By: Always Remember Photography LLC

The swing, The ladder and two brothers!

Beneath one of our tallest trees, a tire swing danced slowly in the breeze, and a wooden ladder leaned like it had secrets to share. On this evening, two brothers found their own kind of magic during their outdoor photo session near Mars, Pa. One climbed high on the ladder, a slingshot tucked safely in his pocket, while the other swung lazily on the tire swing. What truly made the moment magical, though, was the way they shared a glance, mid-laugh—caught in a joke or secret that only brothers could understand.

 Where the Fairies Come to Dream

The pond on our property glimmered like a hidden treasure, reflecting the soft light of a fading sun. A barefoot fairy, dressed in violet petals and crowned in greenery, stood at the water’s edge holding a glowing orb of light—perhaps a captured wish, or a tiny moon of her own making. This is what makes these 40 acres so magical: nature becomes the stage for my Outdoor Fairy Portraits.

The Gate at the Edge of the Field

At the very edge of our woods, there lies a field. It is there you’ll find a weathered wooden fence with a crooked little gate that feels like it leads to another world. On this particular afternoon, two sweet brothers turned it into part of their outdoor photo session—one kneeling in laughter, the other bursting through the gate with a grin that could light up the sky. There’s something so timeless about this spot. The creak of the gate, the soft grass beneath their feet, the way the field stretches out beyond them like a page waiting to be filled.

A Field Where Wildflowers Whisper

In the month of May, pink wildflowers stretched across the field at the edge of our property. Two friends wandered through the blooms hand-in-hand, discovering little wonders hidden among the petals. Every laugh, every turn, felt like a page from a storybook during the time they spent together for this photo session near Cranberry Township and Mars.

The Golden Path Between Worlds

There’s a quiet little pathway that stretches between the field and the main yard, where the light filters through just right—soft and golden, like it knows it’s part of the story. On this sunlit day, two brothers and their big sister turned that path into the setting of a backyard legend. One brother stood steady with a slingshot in hand, aiming carefully at an apple balanced on a little brown keg, while the others watched with wide eyes and uncontrollable giggles.

The Forest Where Fairies Wander

Tucked beneath a canopy of trees, the forest on our property is carpeted with soft, green ferns that seem to glow in the filtered light. It's the kind of place where time stands still and the world feels hushed—like the trees are holding their breath for something magical to pass through. On this day, during a fairy session, the little girl looks up at me and say, "I have a great idea for a fairy picture." and then she made it happen.

This land has been lovingly shaped for storytelling.

These 40 acres are stitched with stories—soft laughter on the breeze, fairy wings in the woods, and the quiet magic of childhood unfolding. Every one of these moments becomes a proof, carefully selected and transformed through my signature style of editing, where every image tells a story. These stories are then gathered into fine art albums or turned into wall art—treasures a family will hold onto for generations. For the families who visit here, it’s not just a photo session—it’s a page in their storybook. And for me, it’s the dream I get to live every single day.

Where the Road to Magic Begins for photographer for Cranberry Township and Mars.

Every adventure has a beginning, and mine starts with the winding country road that leads to my outdoor photography paradise—tucked between Butler, Mars, and Cranberry Township. Even before families arrive at the heart of the property, the magic begins. A narrow dirt lane winds quietly through the trees like something out of an old storybook. Just beyond, a sparkling creek dances beside the road, inviting little feet to splash and giggle beneath the canopy of green. Framed by wildflowers and whispering trees, this road doesn’t just lead to a destination—it opens the door to a world where childhood stories come to life.

I’d love to welcome you to my little slice of magic. Let your children take a walk through the woods, splash in the creek, swing beneath the trees—and I will capture the kind of moments you’ll want to hold onto forever.

If you’re ready to create your own story here, I’d be honored to help bring it to life. Reach out, and let’s start dreaming it up together.
