Oh, how quickly time passes! The first year of a baby’s life is filled with so much growth and discovery. From that very first grin to those wobbly first steps, every moment is precious and worth capturing. That’s where milestone sessions come in – they’re the perfect way to preserve these fleeting memories, from 3 months all the way up to 18 months old.
Milestone sessions are all about your little one! I want them to play, move, and have fun—feeling relaxed, free to explore, and totally themselves. Together, we’ll capture every special stage—tummy time, sitting, crawling, those first wobbly steps, and of course, the big first birthday!
Milestone sessions are for ONE individual ONLY between the ages of 3-12 months. Please contact me if you have twins. If needed during the session I allow time for your children to warm up to me, to play, and to relax. Between clothing changes they can have a little play break and a snack if needed.
Fees cover the photographers time and talent, planning and prepping for your session, and professional editing.
As a photographer who cares about each client and their satisfaction, session fees reflect this custom experience.
A friendly pre-session consultation either over the phone or in person to discuss your session for a customized experience. In person is the preferred method.
