Midway Sessions are by far my FAVORITE part of the York Fair, and the 2024 sessions did not disappoint!


I got to take photos for some of the best kids and their beloved project animals. It's clear these kids worked extremely hard, and I'm so happy I could capture these important moments for them.


From lambs to goats to cattle and pigs, there were so many sweet animals to photograph! I wanted to make sure these images exhibited the spirit of the fair, so we shot in front of the iconic grandstand (where the York Fair plaque is featured), the Ferris Wheel (a fair staple!), the whimsical ticket booth, and the York Fair horse barns (an important piece of history!).


I think this tradition is extra special because a lot of these kids' parents showed at the fair, and have fond memories of this event from when they were the same age. It's a timeless tradition for the young and old, and I'm already excited for 2025!
