The Milestone Experience
from first smiles to first steps
Milestone sessions are the perfect way to capture your baby’s most exciting and memorable milestones – from their first time sitting up on their own to the celebration of their very first birthday! As a Boston baby photographer, I love being able to document these special moments that parents will treasure forever. One of my absolute favorite stages to photograph is around 6-7 months, often called the "sitter" stage. It's when your baby’s personality truly starts to shine, and those big, bright smiles seem to appear effortlessly.
And of course, no milestone session would be complete without celebrating your baby’s first birthday! This session can be a mix of sweet, timeless portraits of your little one on their special day, or we can add some fun and excitement with a cake smash. If you choose a cake smash, I’ll create a simple yet beautiful setup that highlights your baby and their joy, without any clutter. It’s all about letting your little one enjoy their first taste of cake while I capture those candid, adorable moments. Whether you go for a classic portrait session or a messy cake smash, this is a milestone you’ll definitely want to remember!
It all starts with a conversation. The best way to reach out is via email. Including baby's birthdate is helpful. I'll send you all of the info you need and answer any questions you may have to make sure I'm the right photographer for you. I'm also happy to schedule a call if you'd prefer to chat over the phone before making your decision.
When you're ready to book, I'll send you my booking forms which include a questionnaire to help with styling, the session contract, and an invoice for the session fee. You'll select either a studio session or outdoors, and we'll go over scheduling options. Once everything is signed and paid, you're officially on the calendar!
If you are planning a cake smash for your baby's first birthday milestone, preparation is extra important! I'll be sure to send you my "tip sheet" for cake smashes to make sure it's successful. For all milestone sessions, we'll chat about wardrobe and what sizes fit your baby best so I can pull some pieces from my client closet to have ready for you when you come to the studio.
You'll love watching your baby be the star of the show! Session day is so much fun as we play, sing, clap - anything that gets your baby smiling for the camera. Sometimes the antics get a little crazy, but it's all in good fun to capture those genuine expressions you love. A typical session includes 2-3 set & wardrobe changes, depending on baby's cooperation.
It's time for the best part - viewing your photos! About a week after our session, I'll send you a link to your private online gallery to view your proofs. Once you've selected your favorite images to purchase, I'll get to work retouching and perfecting your portraits. Digital images will be delivered to your inbox and physicial products, such as prints, arrive straight to your door.
