Milestone sessions are a beautiful way to document your baby’s first year as their personality begins to shine. From tiny tummy time smiles to sitting up, crawling, and those first wobbly steps, these sessions capture the sweet stages that seem to change overnight.
These sessions are perfect for 3, 6, 9, and 12 month milestones, including first birthday portraits and cake smash celebrations. They’re also a great option anytime you simply want updated portraits of your little ones as they grow.
Sessions are simple, relaxed, and focused on your child. With clean setups and a calm studio environment, the goal is to create timeless images that highlight your child’s personality and all the little details you never want to forget.

FAQ
When should I book a milestone session?
Milestone sessions are best booked 4–6 weeks in advance to ensure availability. If you’re planning a First Birthday session, booking a little earlier is recommended so we have time to plan the details.
Where do I start when planning a First Birthday session?
Don’t worry! You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Once your First Birthday session is booked, you’ll receive a complete First Birthday Prep Guide that walks you through everything from outfit ideas and color palettes to cake smash tips and simple setup inspiration.
Do milestone sessions take place indoors or outdoors?
Most milestone and First Birthday sessions take place in the studio, especially cake smash sessions since they can get a little messy. However, depending on the weather and the type of session you’re envisioning, I’m always happy to capture your baby outdoors as well. If you have a specific look in mind, we can talk through options when planning your session.
