Milestone Sessions

Milestone sessions are designed to capture the growth of your child in fun and innovative ways. From simple colored sets to complex themed sets, celebrate milestones, holidays, or events! This is designed mostly for infants (no newborns), with occasional sets that are also available for toddlers. Sessions always include the delivery of a full digital gallery within two-three weeks of the session. Pick the session that best fits your needs!

Milestone Categories

  • Tummy

    Tummy sessions capture your baby’s early milestones when they are able to start lifting their head and have a social smile! These sessions document how much your baby has grown since their newborn days! They are now awake during the session and interested in the world. Their smiles are also now prevalent and ready to be captured for you to remember forever! This is before your baby starts to sit or move and so the set is designed for your baby to be laying on their back or their tummy.

    Best time to schedule: once baby can push up on their arms (typically around 3+ months)

  • Sitter

    A sitter session is the perfect way to celebrate your baby’s growing personality—this is when they’re typically sitting independently, smiling freely, and not yet crawling away! These sessions are playful and full of variety as your baby’s personality is blooming and so have many expressions to capture. The set is designed for your baby to be sitting independently.

    Best time to schedule: when baby can sit independently (or with minor support), but before they try to crawl away (typically around 6+ months)

  • Wobbler

    Celebrate the end of babyhood with a cozy, personality-packed session that captures your little one as they prepare to turn one. These portraits focus on connection, movement, and expression. At this point your baby is sitting, crawling, pulling up, and maybe even walking, their personality is front and center and they have a mind of their own! The sets are designed to allow movement, so we can capture your baby sitting, crawling, and standing/walking (supported or unsupported as needed).

    Best time to schedule: after baby starts to move (typically 9+ months)

What to Expect

Step 1

Decide if I am the right photographer for you. Do my images and concepts speak to you? Is this how you want your memories captured?

If so, pick desired session and schedule accordingly.

Step 2

Decide on the theme or sets that you are interested in and we will discuss in detail how to make your vision come to life!

Note that each set or theme may or may not have restrictions based on your child’s age/development. Consider: is your child sitting with support, sitting independently, pulling themselves up, walking? Each of these stages will make different themes or sets work differently, resulting in different types of images.

Step 3

Prepare for your session.

Are you brining your own wardrobe? If so, pick out your desired outfits.

If you have an older infant or toddler, are there any favorite snacks or toys a good idea to help keep focus during the session?

Step 4

Enjoy your session!

Come ready to relax and let your kids be themselves! Let’s capture some memories!

Planning Your Session

  • You will receive your online gallery of images within three weeks of your session. Since all packages include the full gallery, you will be able to download all photos directly from the gallery.

    There are options to buy prints of any photos if you do desire and have them shipped to your house.

  • Payment is done through an online portal with a credit card. A 25% retainer (of the original session fee) is paid upfront, the rest of the payment is due the day of the session and the card on file will be charged.

    All pricing is transparent, and listed on the website. Sessions list the deliverables and the cost. Sales tax will be applied.

  • As photography is not something that most families do frequently, it is understandable that you are nervous! There is no need for concern. I will guide, prompt, and direct you and your family. I strive for session that authentically captures your family as best as possible, so there is no need be anything other than yourselves! I will prompt for natural-looking poses and capture candids throughout the session.

  • I have an extensive selection of newborn and infant props, from buckets, baskets, bathtubs, bowls, chairs, etc with lots of different backdrops. I have hundreds of headbands and hats for newborns. As well as, a large selection of outfits for newborns and infants up to a year. I am happy to work with any theme or color palette that you desire! I will reach out to you after you book your session to go over your vision and the details of your session to determine the props that I will be using. If you have any specific questions on props or themes, please feel free to reach out to me!

  • Please discuss with me if you have anything you want incorporated! I would suggest only bringing things of sentimental value. I would not recommend buying and bringing your own props as they may not have been designed or tested for safety for newborn photography. If there is anything that you are hoping for that you are unsure if I have, please do let me know! I have quite the extensive collection and would be happy to discuss your vision to see if I already have something or am willing to add to my collection!

  • My cozy studio is in Redmond, near Ames Lake, where you can have the session of your dreams! It is located at 27510 NE Quail Creek Dr, Redmond, WA 98053.

    For in-home sessions, I travel within a 20 mile radius of Redmond, WA. I also will consider traveling further for an additional fee.

  • Absolutely! Please reach out to me directly to do so!

    Sessions will be paid in full so whomever you are gifting the session to, does not have to worry about anything besides picking the date!
