Milestones

Milestone sessions are about capturing the in-between moments as your child grows — the stages that don’t always come with a big event, but are just as meaningful. These sessions are a great fit when you want to pause time for a moment and remember your child exactly as they are right now.

This page is organized by stage to help you find the session that best fits where your child is today.

What To Expect From Each Session:
・Natural posing and light direction during your session
・A mix of posed and candid images
・Professionally edited digital images
・Online gallery for viewing and downloading
・Print release for personal use

Baby Milestones

(3–12 months)

Your baby’s first year moves fast. One day they’re tiny and curled up, and before you know it they’re holding their head up, sitting, laughing, and starting to explore the world around them.

Baby milestone sessions are designed specifically for this first year — after newborn photos and before toddlerhood — when changes happen quickly and every stage feels fleeting. These sessions follow your baby’s lead and focus on who they are right now.

Tummy Time Milestone Session

This stage often sneaks up on parents. Your baby isn’t a newborn anymore, but they’re not sitting yet either — and suddenly their expressions, eye contact, and personality are really starting to show.

Tummy Time sessions focus on your baby laying on their back and on their belly. Some babies love tummy time, some tolerate it for short stretches, and all of that is completely okay. We move at your baby’s pace, take breaks as needed, and capture them just as they are in this in-between stage.

Starting at $250

Best for babies around 3–5 months

Sitter Milestone Sessions

Once babies can sit on their own, everything changes. This is one of the most expressive stages — big smiles, curiosity, and so much personality packed into a short window of time.

Sitter sessions are relaxed and playful, giving your baby space to interact, move, and engage naturally. Every baby reaches this stage at a different pace, so sessions are planned around what your baby is comfortable doing.

If you’ve been wondering when to schedule milestone photos, this is often the sweet spot.

This session is designed for baby only.

Best for babies around 6-9 months

Childrens Milestones

1 year and up

Once your child is past the baby stage, milestone sessions become more flexible. Child milestone sessions are perfect for birthdays, yearly updates, or moments you don’t want to skip just because they’re “not babies anymore.”

These sessions are designed for one child and focus on personality, expressions, and growth at this stage.

Simple Milestone Mini Session

This session is designed for milestone images only and focuses on your child at their current stage. It does not include full family coverage and is best for one child.

Due to the shorter session length, outfit changes are not included. Cake smash sessions are not part of this offering.
