Creek Sessions: Whimsical Childhood Photography near Mars & Cranberry Township
Whimsical Creek Sessions for Children: A Splash of Magic and Memories
There’s something timeless and magical about a child playing in a creek—bare feet splashing, laughter echoing through the trees, and imaginations soaring with every ripple. My Whimsical Creek Sessions take place in the sun-dappled stream that runs along the quiet country road beside my 40-acre property near Mars and Cranberry Township. It’s a peaceful, storybook setting where children skip rocks, float boats, and find little treasures beneath the surface. I often find myself right in the water with them—camera in hand—so I don’t miss a single giggle or splash. These sessions are more than just photography—they’re pure adventure, captured in timeless Fine Art portraits.

What to Expect During a Creek Session
Children don’t need to do anything but be themselves. I provide gentle direction and a few simple props to spark imagination and storytelling, but most of the magic happens naturally—skipping, splashing, and exploring the creek’s shallow bends. Outfits can be simple and timeless: rolled-up jeans, cotton dresses, or even bare feet and overalls. While barefoot moments are always welcome, many children prefer some type of footwear once they reach the water. Solid-colored rain boots or brown-toned sandals are perfect—they blend beautifully with the natural setting and keep the focus on your child’s joyful expressions. You’re welcome to use something meaningful from home or select from my Children’s Wardrobe Closet, filled with pieces chosen to photograph like a dream. These sessions are designed to feel like a page from a storybook—one that ends in laughter, muddy toes, and heirloom artwork you’ll treasure forever.
