Milestone Sessions

From tiny beginnings to big little milestones

a little note...

about milestone sessions

 

There are so many little moments between the newborn days and

their first birthday that deserve to be remembered, too.


The first smiles, sitting up on their own, those sweet little personalities starting to shine, and all the in-between moments that seem to change overnight.


Milestone sessions are designed to celebrate exactly where your little one is right now.


We’ll capture their personality, those tiny details you never want to forget, and all the sweet expressions that make this season so special.


Because they won’t be this little for long — and someday, these are the moments you’ll wish you could go back to. 🤍

 

The MILESTONE gallery

a little inspiration for your MILESTONe session

 

The first year is filled with so many little changes —

and somehow, they all seem to happen far too quickly.


One day they’re tiny and sleepy in your arms, and before you know it, they’re sitting up, clapping their hands, showing off those first little teeth, and letting their sweet personality shine.


Take a peek through my Milestone Gallery to see some

of the sweet little moments we can capture along the way.


From big smiles and curious expressions to those tiny details you never want to forget, each milestone session is a chance to pause and remember this season exactly as it is.

From me to you...answering your milestone session questions

All the little details

 

reserving your session

 

What if we’ve never had professional photos done before?



That’s perfectly okay—most of my clients haven’t!

I’ll guide you through everything so it feels easy and natural from start to finish.

What if I don’t know what kind of session I want?


That’s totally okay! Tell me a little about what you’re envisioning (or even just how you want your photos to feel), and I’ll help you figure out the rest.

What if we want more time than a standard session?


Just let me know! We can talk through options and make sure your session fits exactly what you need.

How far in advance should I reserve my session?


The sooner, the better—especially if you would like to have your photos back by your little birthday celebration. Dates can be reserved out at minimum a few months in advance, so I always recommend reaching out early to get your ideal day & time.



Do you provide the smash cake?



I have the most amazing cake designer that you can order your cake through & I'll pick it up for you so it'll be here when you arrive for your session.


If you prefer to bring your own cake, you are absolutely  welcome to!


Can siblings be included in a session?


Of course!  

Siblings always make it a little more fun!

Do you offer payment plans?


Absolutely! If you need flexibility, just reach out and we can talk through options.


I want this to feel doable for you.  


You can also use Afterpay to pay for your session as well.  

How do I reserve a session?


It’s super simple! Just fill out my contact form and I’ll be in touch to chat through all the details, answer your questions, and get your date reserved. From there, I guide you through everything so you never feel lost or overwhelmed.

Do you travel?


Yes! If you have a location in mind, let’s chat about it. I’m always up for creating something special in a place that means something to you.  Travel fees do apply.


For smash cake sessions, these are exclusively held in my private studio in Brownsburg.

 

Preparing for your session

 

How do I prepare for my session?



You don’t have to overthink it—I’ll guide you through everything ahead of time. From outfits to timing,


I make sure you feel completely prepared and confident.


For cake smash sessions, we'll chat about all the details when we reserve your session.

What should we wear?




Don’t stress—I help with that! You’ll get styling guidance from me so your outfits feel like you but photograph beautifully.


Many parents have a few favorite outfits that they would love to have their littles wear for pictures.


I always recommend having littles wear outfits they are comfortable in.

Do you help with choosing outfits?


Yes! Coordinating outfits can feel overwhelming, but I’ll help you pull everything together so it is just perfect for you!

What should we avoid wearing?


I recommend avoiding bright colors, large logos, busy patterns, and anything that distracts from your connection. Soft, neutral tones tend to photograph beautifully and keep the focus where it belongs—on you.



How do we prepare ahead of time?


Keep it light and exciting—no pressure! Let them know it’ll be fun, maybe even a little adventure.

When should we arrive?


Plan to arrive a few minutes early so everyone can settle in. We’ll start right on time to make the most of our time together.

 

your session

 

What if my littles feel shy in front of the camera?


That’s completely okay! Little ones don’t have to show up ready to smile and pose for the camera. Some of my favorite images happen after they’ve had a little time to warm up and feel comfortable.

I’ll take my time, follow their lead, and give them plenty of opportunities to explore, play, snuggle, and just be themselves. We’ll never force a smile or rush the process. Sometimes those quiet, shy little moments end up being some of the sweetest images in the gallery.


And don’t worry — you don’t need to stress about getting them to cooperate before your session. That’s my job. 🤍




What if my little doesn't want to smash their cake?



That’s completely okay! Not every little one is ready to dive into a cake the moment they see it — and we certainly won’t force it.


We’ll give them time to explore, get comfortable, and decide what they think about this whole cake situation.



Sometimes a little encouragement, a taste from Mom or Dad, or simply watching them play is all it takes.


And if they never really get into the cake? We’ll still capture plenty of sweet smiles, little details, giggles, and personality along the way. The goal isn’t a messy cake — it’s remembering this little stage exactly as they are. 🤍

What if the weather doesn't cooperate?



The weather can be unpredictable, so if the weather isn’t cooperating, we’ll keep an eye on the forecast and decide together whether we need to reschedule.



My goal is always beautiful light and a comfortable experience for your session.




Can we request specific shots?


If there’s something meaningful you have in mind, I’d love to hear it! I always do my best to incorporate those moments while still keeping everything natural.



Can we bring props?


Simple, meaningful props are always welcome—think blankets, hats, sports gear, or something personal to you. I’ll help make sure it doesn’t feel overdone.


It's always better to bring your favorite things than to wish you would have brought them and didn't.

What if we’re running late?


I totally understand that life happens—just send me a text! We’ll make the most of our time together no matter what. Since I do reserve sessions back-to-back the time left in our session upon your arrival will be the time we will have together.

 

after your session

 

When will we receive our photos?



You can expect your proofing gallery within 1 week after your session (unless you have purchased expedited editing).


I know how excited you’ll be to see them, so I always work to get them back to you as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality.  Proofing galleries are delivered in the order sessions are photographed.


Sessions are edited in the order editing requests are received.  Final galleries are delivered within 3-4 weeks after you have let me know you've chosen your favorite photos for editing.  




A limited number of expedited editing placements are available for an additional fee.


When selected, expedited editing prioritizes your gallery in the editing queue and allows for earlier delivery based on current availability.



How many images will we receive?



Every session is a little different, but you’ll receive a thoughtfully soft-edited proofing gallery filled with the best moments from our time together—no duplicates, no overwhelm, just the good stuff. From there you will pick your favorites for me to custom edit and add to your final gallery to download.

What if I want more images than what is included with my session?


While each session includes a set number of custom edited, digital, high resolution photos, you can absolutely choose more for me to edit & add to your final gallery.  


Additional hand-edited images are available for purchase, allowing you to expand your final gallery with the moments you love most.

Will you help us choose our final images?



Of course. I’m always happy to guide you through your gallery so you feel confident choosing your favorites.  If you would prefer for me to chose your photos to edit for your final gallery, there is a small charge for the service.



Will my images be edited?



Yes—every image in your final gallery is custom edited to match my style.


I focus on natural, timeless edits that you’ll love for years to come.

What happens after I receive my final gallery?


You’ll be able to download your images and order prints or products if you’d like. From there, you get to enjoy them—hang them up, share them, and relive those moments over and over 💛

Do you offer digital images?


Yes! Your gallery will include digital images, and you’ll also have the option to order prints and products if you’d like.



Do you offer prints?


Yes! Your photos deserve more than just living on your phone. I offer high-quality prints and products so you can actually hold onto these moments for years to come.

Can I print my photos?


Yes! You’ll have access to high-quality print options (and print lab recommendations) so your images don’t just live on a screen—they become part of your home.

Still have questions? I’m just a message away 💛




I can’t wait to hear what you’re dreaming up!
