When Christmas ends and winter lingers, there’s always a moment when something shifts. The days grow brighter, the air softens, and spring begins to whisper that it’s on its way.
For me, that moment is marked by Fairy Days. Though my little fairies remain nestled in their winter slumber, I can feel them stirring—tiny wings twitching, soft whispers floating in the stillness—hinting that their springtime magic isn’t far away.
Although I offer custom Fairy Sessions year round, April has always felt special. It’s the first true sign of spring—the moment when imagination wakes up and the fairies return. Each year, I celebrate this season by offering April Fairy Days, with a $95 session fee instead of the usual $250.
April Fairy Days are held inside the studio, where every detail is carefully prepared. Early spring weather can be unpredictable, and the studio allows me to create my classic fairy portraits, filled with soft light and magic. Designer fairy gowns, delicate wings, and handcrafted rings of flowers are all provided, allowing children to simply step into the story while parents relax and enjoy the experience.
This year, the magic continues as spring fully arrives.
When May comes and nature begins to bloom, the fairies move outdoors. May Fairy Days will celebrate the arrival of spring with outdoor fairy sessions, where sunlight, wildflowers and the beauty of Spring become part of the story itself.
Whether inside the studio in April or outdoors in May, Fairy Days are about imagination, childhood, and preserving the wonder of these fleeting years. They have become a beloved spring tradition in my studio—and a gentle reminder that a little magic always returns.

Fairy Days has always been my favorite time of year but it may not be the perfect fit for every child—and that’s perfectly okay. Every child’s magic looks a little different. If you’re drawn to the storytelling style and timeless feel of my fine art children’s photography near Mars and Cranberry Township, I invite you to explore my portfolio for inspiration. From whimsical Fairy Sessions to one of my summertime favorites, my Creek Sessions, each experience is thoughtfully designed to capture childhood in a natural, artful way for families throughout the Pittsburgh area.
