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.
2016 me skipped maternity photos.
2026 me captures them for others—so no one else has that regret.
Grateful beyond words. Receiving emails like this is the best part of what I do.

A modern maternity studio session with an editorial approach. Where motherhood is styled with intention and simplicity.
Plot twist: they’re in charge! Here’s the thing, if a baby isn’t ready to sleep, we don’t force it. I let them chill, wiggle, and self-soothe (especially when they’re calm and just observing the world). Eventually, I bring out the swaddle... and usually that’s game over.
And if it’s still a no? We pivot, we adapt, and we photograph the boss exactly as they are, because on session day, the baby makes the rules.
These tiny little 4-pounders were in the studio shortly before Christmas. Mom and dad asked for a holiday touch, so I added cozy hats and a special surprise of a digital holiday composite gift just for them.
