Celebrate every milestone, giggle, and wobble.
One crazy year
Between newborn and one year, babies change faster than your camera roll can keep up.
Milestone sessions are all about freezing those fast, fun stages: the sitter stage, the toothless grins, the wide-eyed wonder. These are the moments you’ll want to remember (and maybe pull out when they’re teenagers).
These sessions are about honoring the little wins: sitting up, babbling, standing proud.
No one in town celebrates baby's first year like we do!
Every session is customized to highlight what makes your little one one-of-a-kind.
Want something whimsical? We can do that. Something simple and sweet? You got it.
Here’s how it all works:
1. You book. (Yay!) We’ll chat about your baby’s stage and your style. Then I’ll send you everything you need to feel confident and excited for the session.
2. You arrive. Wipes? Yep. Outfit options? Ready to go. Patience? Definitely! I’ve created a comfy, colorful space where you can relax and I can make your little one shine.
3. You cheer them on. This is their moment! Whether they’re sitting proud or crawling off set, I’ll follow their lead and capture those giggles, grins, and wobbly little victories.
4. You swoon. You’ll get to see and download all of your fully retouched images online and have the opportunity to come back for an optional in-studio reveal and product design appointment complete with snacks and celebration vibes.
Easy info, zero overwhelm.
Two sessions - one for simplicity, one for the full experience.
Every family receives session prep & planning, access to my full collection of props & accessories, the completed digital gallery for download, and an experience that you won't get anywhere else.

Want printed artwork?
We have a full line of heirloom products, as well as Art Collections with VIP perks available! These collections include a complimentary image reveal and design appointment.
These portraits are meant to be SEEN, and not just once a year in your social media memories. We will take care of everything, from the design of your session to the ordering and delivering your finished products.
Our carefully curated product line has been sourced from professional labs all around the world.
Don't let your images turn to digital dust in the cloud... let's work together to create beautiful pieces of portrait art than can be passed down for generations.
This isn’t just a quick photo op... it’s a celebration of your baby’s biggest little wins. I’ll take care of the setup and styling so you can soak it in, cheer them on, and maybe sneak in a few cuddles between giggles.
Here we photograph stages, not ages. Booking in advance is important as my schedule does tend to fill up quickly. For a sitter session (6-7 months) it is very important that your little one is sitting up unassisted.
Session times are available weekdays between 9am-3pm and very limited Saturday mornings.
My sessions are baby led, meaning I will take your little one's lead as far as how many poses we can achieve.
I will never deny a diaper change or feeding. Family and sibling poses will be done first, and then I will work one on one with baby!
These blog articles are your shortcut to feeling confident, prepared, and maybe even a little smug about how on top of things you are. Local info, expert tips, and been-there-done-that advice... from what to expect at your session to where the heck to find the perfect smash cake - start here, stress less.
After newborn photos, the next best time for portraits with variety is the sitter milestone. This is usually between 6-8 months. (Every baby is different!) This guide will walk you though how to make the most of your milestone portrait session at this age.
Let’s talk about rollers! These sessions are most requested by Mamas that missed out on newborn photos and want to have their baby photographed before they hit that big 6-month milestone.
I know choosing the right photographer can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Fill out the form below and I’ll be in touch to talk dates, details, and how we can turn this wild, wonderful season into something beautiful!
