Child Milestone

Every moment matters

The nights may be long, but the years are painfully short. There are so many special times in a child’s life that can and should be commemorated with spectacular images, highlighting the memorable times for your family. Child Milestone Portraits are the ideal way to create lasting memories for all of your child’s major occasions like a sitter session, cake smash, or a simple studio session.

 

Everything to know about a sitter session

A sitter session is done when your child has learned to sit up unassisted typically around 6-9 months. These sessions take place at my studio located in Green Valley and are scheduled within two weeks of your little one mastering the milestone of sitting up. What makes these sessions so much fun is that babies around this stage are becoming very smiley, playful, and curious. So we usually get great big smiles and fun expressions.

 

Everything to know about a cake smash session

There is no better way to celebrate your child's first birthday than with a cake smash session! These sessions are scheduled 3-4 weeks before their first birthday. This will allow enough time for edits and for you to receive your images to share with your family and friends.

I took this picture of my grandma a few years ago, and as I stare at it, I realize that my love of tangible prints started with her. My grandma was a collector of memories through photographs and a woman who lived with strong faith. Sitting in her home, surrounded by pictures, you could feel the presence of a lifetime of memories all around her. The images reflected love, connection, and the moments that mattered most, creating a space filled with warmth and meaning. 

It has been amazing to look through all her old photos, some dating back to the 40s, each one holding a piece of the past. Now, these photos have become family heirlooms, treasured reminders of a life so beautifully lived.
This is me, and this is my work.
Capturing the moments you never want to forget.

Being an artist, I’m always drawn to the simplicity of black & white. There’s something about stripping away the distractions and letting the emotion be the focus.

This image feels so classic and timeless, but what really caught my eye was this in-between moment, the genuine smile that appeared for just a second. Sometimes those unplanned moments end up being the most beautiful ones to capture.

Think frosting-covered fingers, big smiles, and lots of giggles. It’s messy, it’s funny, and honestly… so fun to witness.The best part? Capturing those real reactions and sweet moments. And you get the cutest photos to remember it forever.
