I had been waiting for the opportunity to do a session in Downtown Lancaster City, and I finally got the chance last summer! My cousin, Andrew, and his wife, Kelly, jumped at the idea of doing their family’s session in the city. Downtown Lancaster has so many great places for pictures, with lots of neat old building and architecture, and their outfits looked great with the colorful backdrops.
We made sure to get some family shots right away, and then let the kids run wild.
Carson was on his way to five-years-old and MacKenzie was almost two. While it wasn’t open at the time, we first took some pictures outside Lancaster Central Market. I’d love to go back and visit the market sometime – I’ve heard great things about it!

Isn’t MacKenzie just a little doll?! So cute with that light blond hair!




Cute little Crocs and baby fingers, with so much to explore.


Carson was quite silly at times!






In 2010, twenty custom-designed pianos were placed throughout the city. What a fun idea!


And this area is Steinman Park.

Yes, Carson had enough. ![]()




Eyes wide in wonder, looking in the window of a toy store.




Cute series with Carson and Kelly.






And the kids’ reward for a job well-done….ice cream!




MacKenzie was unbelievably cute as she was eating her ice cream.


Love this shot!




After their treats, we squeezed in a few more pictures.












ALL DONE, says the pirate!


Andrew and Kelly, thanks again for inviting me to take pictures of your sweet family!!!
