Milestones

babies 1-12 months old

You know that little grin that can get you to agree to just about anything? That grin is a true work of art. Milestone sessions capture all those little details of your little one's blooming personality that you never want to forget.

All you really need to worry about for the session is getting that little cutie into the studio. I have a closet full of outfits for babies up to 12 months, so no need to stress about wardrobe. I also have props for littles at every level of mobility.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW

BOOKING

Most milestone sessions are done when baby reaches the "sitting up" milestone (around 6-7 months), and for their first birthday. Some clients also like to do milestone sessions at 3-4 months (when baby can hold their head up well), and around 9 months (or when baby is beginning to pull up and stand). You can schedule your milestone session 4-6 weeks in advance.

MORNING IS MAGIC

Happy babies make happy portraits, and I've learned the hard way over the years that the later in the day it gets, the fussier babies tend to get. For the best session experience for us and baby, I do milestone sessions early in the day. Sessions are scheduled for mornings or early afternoons Monday-Friday.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW

I'VE GOT YOU COVERED.

I have a vast selection of baby outfits in my closet that range from newborn to 12 months. Unless you have special items or outfits you wish for them to wear, there's no need to worry about bringing anything like that to your session. We'll do a maximum of 3 outfits in a session.

WE'LL CAPTURE THE LOVE

While the majority of images will focus on baby, parent and sibling images are included during the session if desired.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW

LET THEM EAT CAKE

If you would like to bring a smash cake to your 1 year session, you are absolutely welcome to! Other foods (like spaghetti or donuts) are super fun too. Doing a food smash with baby's favorite food makes for some truly engaging and unique images.

get the best of both

I do both indoor and outdoor sessions at my studio (weather permitting of course), so we can get the best of both options!

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW

a little extra help

Babies aren't always in the mood for a session. While I have all kinds of tricks I pull out to get those grins, sometimes it can be helpful if babies have something familiar too. A small snack (puffs are perfect) or favorite toy can be a great distraction if needed.
