What to Expect


Capture the magic of your baby's first year! Milestone photography is the perfect way to document all the amazing changes and milestones—from tiny newborn details to first birthdays. These professional photos become cherished keepsakes, preserving the memories you'll treasure for a lifetime.


Six-month sessions are also known as "sitter" sessions, as this milestone is best done when they are sitting up on their own, unassisted. It is much easier to photograph them when they aren't wobbly or falling over! So, this could be at 6 months, 7 months, or even 8 months...every baby is different!


One-year sessions can be done before or after they've already had their birthday! I always provide the cake as long as your little one does not have allergies. I will also send a prep guide for one-year sessions to help prepare your little one.


*Milestone and cake smash sessions are held in studio on weekdays only. My weekends are reserved for family time and an occasional mini session event!

FAQ

When is the best time to schedule my cake smash session?

I recommend scheduling 2-3 weeks before your child's birthday if you would like photos to be back to in time to celebrate.

Do you provide the set design?

This is the fun part! We will work together to create a custom theme for your child. Once you book, I have you fill out a planning questionnaire. This is great to communicate ideas you already have, if you are totally lost on what to do, I always have ideas and suggestions! The theme can be as elaborate or as simple as you would like. You can even incorporate the theme of their 1st birthday party celebration! I encourage clients to make the theme something personal and special to them or baby. Just send me your ideas and I will create a custom set for your baby's first birthday celebration.

Do you provide the cake?

Yes! As long as your baby does not have allergies I will provide the cake. I have an amazing cake decorator that I trust to provide the best cake smash designs. The cakes look and taste amazing!

Do you provide coordinated outfits for cake smashes?

I have a range of beautiful handmade clothes your baby wear for their photos. I may have an outfit I can recommend to match your theme or you may need to provide a coordinating outfit. You may use 1-2 outfits if you choose. We can have one outfit for photos without the cake and one outfit for photos with the cake. The bath portion is done without clothes or diaper.

Are families included in milestone and cake smash sessions?

These sessions are for 1 child only. Due to the nature of cake smash sessions and the size of the set family and sibling images are not offered during cake smash sessions. It is best to focus on one thing at a time as babies have pretty short attention spans and we want to make sure we get the cute cake smash photos that you are booking me for.

Are outfits provided for milestone sessions?

I do have a client closet with several beautiful handmade outfits that I use to match backdrops but you may also bring your own outfits. Ultimately, the outfits used are your choice.

What should I bring?

Bring the baby, your outfits for the cake smash, an outfit for going home, you might want spare clothes (socks included) for yourself, snacks, and a drink for the baby. Things can get messy.

When should I expect to get my gallery?

You will get your gallery within 2-4 weeks from the time of your session. Turnaround times are estimates and may fluctuate based on life and how busy I am. If you need an image or two back by a certain date please let me know I will do my best to get you a cute shot if the whole gallery will not be ready in time.

Why you should buy prints from your photographer.


While I offer digital-only collections, I firmly believe in the transformative power of print. That is why I highly recommend purchasing prints and products from my professional lab. You can do this directly from your online gallery. There's a profound difference between viewing images on a screen and holding them in your hands. Printed artwork—whether an album or a stunning metal print—makes your memories tangible, tactile, and timeless. It adds a depth of emotion and significance that digital files simply can't replicate, transforming your photos into cherished heirlooms for generations to come. I want you to get the best quality for the investment you made on having photos taken by a professional.


Prints & Products

I. Professional Quality

Purchasing prints directly from a photographer often guarantees high-quality paper, color accuracy, and careful image processing, ensuring the best possible presentation of your photos.

II. Tangible Memories

Printed photos provide a physical representation of special moments that you can touch and interact with, enhancing the emotional connection to the memory. Unlike digital files which can be lost due to technology issues, printed photos offer a long-lasting way to preserve your memories.

III. Home Decor

Prints can be framed and displayed around your home to personalize your space and showcase your favorite moments.
