REMEMBER WHAT IT felt like....
to fall in love
again, and again?
First, it was their tiny fingers wrapped around yours.
Then the sleepy smiles. The first giggles. The way they learned to sit, crawl, clap, and slowly become more them with every passing month.
The first year moves quietly and quickly, all at once.
These milestone sessions are made to help you hold onto the in-between moments, from newborn snuggles to one-year wonder, and every little season in between. No rushing. No pressure to make memories happen.
Just space to soak it in while I capture the story as it unfolds.
THE First YEar milestone EXPERIENCE
An experience that grows with your baby — from the weight of those first newborn days all the way to cake-smashed fingers and wobbly first steps.
Each session is thoughtfully paced and designed to meet your baby exactly where they are. I'll create space for the sleepy snuggles, the belly laughs, and every in-between moment that makes this year so fleeting.
Expect a gallery that tells the whole story of your baby's first year, from the very beginning to the moment you can hardly believe they're already one.
Your images are carefully refined and presented in a private online gallery, ready to be revisited, shared, and transformed into lasting artwork for your home.
Each session is designed around where your baby is right now — the sleepy stillness of a newborn, the curious wiggle of a six-month-old, the full-personality chaos of a one-year-old. I'll follow their lead and guide you gently, so what unfolds feels less like a photoshoot and more like a quiet moment you actually got to be present for.
After booking, you’ll receive a guided questionnaire and personalized styling support so we can thoughtfully plan your session. Together, we’ll focus on what matters most to you in this season and how you want it remembered.
OUR VALUES
When my own daughter was in her first year, I understood in a way I never had before just how fast it all moves. She's our rainbow baby, and every single milestone felt sacred — and terrifying — and gone almost before I could hold onto it. I didn't want to miss a single season of her. I wanted it all documented, all remembered, all kept.
That's where this collection came from.
The first year isn't just a series of checkpoints. It's a whole story — the newborn haze, the first real giggle, the wobbly almost-steps, the birthday cake in their fists. And every chapter deserves to be honored for exactly what it is before it quietly becomes the next one.
It is one of the greatest honors of my work to walk alongside your family through this year. To show up again and again and watch your baby grow. To hand you a gallery that gives it all back to you, every fleeting, beautiful season of it.
WE CAPTURE
what is the different between Milestone Collection and Petite milestone Collection?
The Milestone Collection begins with a maternity session and follows your baby through their entire first year — newborn, 3, 6, and 9 month mini sessions, and a first birthday session. The Petite Milestone Collection begins at the newborn stage and includes a 6 month mini session and first birthday session. Both are designed to tell the full story of your baby's first year, just at different scales.
when should i schedule my newborn session?
Newborns are the sleepiest in those first 14 days — that golden window is ideal for those swaddled, curled-up, just-baby images. But I also remember the newborn haze, and I want you to feel ready. If you're drawn to something more lifestyle and snuggly, we can push that window out a little and work with wherever you are.
what if my baby isn't meeting their milestones yet?
Honestly, milestones are just suggestions. Every baby moves at their own pace and we'll meet them exactly where they are. I have a variety of props to help support your little one through each session in a way that feels natural and uniquely them.
how far in advance should i book my session?
I suggest booking your newborn session at least two months before your due date. I'll make a note on my calendar for two weeks before and two weeks after — so once you're home and settled, just reach out and we'll get it scheduled. After your newborn session, I'll send along suggested dates for each milestone session. We can absolutely adjust as the year unfolds, but it gives us a beautiful roadmap to work from.
where do sessions take place?
The 3, 6, and 9 month sessions are studio mini sessions. Newborn and first birthday sessions can take place wherever feels right to you — your home, the studio, or another location we choose together.
What should we wear?
After booking you'll have access to my client closet for mom, baby, and toddlers — with sizes ranging from small to XXL for mom and newborn through 2T for little ones. We can also plan outfits together based on your vision for each session so everything feels cohesive and intentional.
how long until we receive our images?
Your gallery will be delivered within 2 to 3 weeks, thoughtfully refined and ready to revisit and print.
can we order prints or albums?
Yes — and I'd love to help you do that. Prints can be ordered directly through your gallery and are printed on professional, true-to-color printers so what you hang on your wall looks exactly the way it felt. If you're interested in an album, we'll design it together — a keepsake that holds the whole first year in one place.
