Milestone and Cake Smash Experience
Milestone and Cake Smash Experience
Sweet Celebrations & Everyday Milestones
From gummy grins to wobbly first steps, these fleeting chapters deserve to be captured with love and intention. Whether you're documenting baby’s 3-month milestone or planning a joyful cake smash for their first birthday, I’ll help you preserve these memories with timeless images you’ll treasure forever.
What to Expect
Calm, Connected, and Completely Baby-Led
Your baby is growing fast, and no two days—or naps—are the same. That’s why milestone and cake smash sessions are designed to be flexible, joyful, and guided by your baby’s cues. Whether they’re giggling, crawling, or curious about cake, I’ll capture it all with heart and patience.
How I Help:
I’ll guide you through every step—from what to bring to how to prepare.
You’ll have access to a curated baby wardrobe and props, so you don’t have to stress over shopping.
Sessions are designed to allow breaks for snacks, nursing, or cuddles.
I keep the energy relaxed so we can capture natural expressions and sweet connections.
No Pinterest pressure. Just real moments, captured beautifully.
What’s Included
Each session includes:
– A pre-session consultation to plan your baby’s look and set design
– Use of the studio wardrobe, minimal props, and simple backdrops to keep the focus on your baby
– A relaxed, baby-led session in my cozy Forest Park studio
– Time for solo portraits of your little one, plus optional family or sibling images
– An ordering appointment to view and select your favorite images
Session Fee: $250
This fee covers your session planning, wardrobe access, and time in the studio. Images and artwork are purchased separately once your gallery is ready.
Add-On: Motherhood & Family Portraits
Motherhood deserves to be documented too. Add on a few portraits of you and your baby—whether it's sweet snuggles, nursing moments, or your first family portrait of the year. These images become part of your legacy, not just theirs.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I schedule my baby’s milestone session?
Milestone sessions are often done around 3, 6, or 9 months—but there’s no wrong time to celebrate. If your baby just learned to sit or started crawling, it’s the perfect opportunity. I recommend booking at least 4–6 weeks in advance to secure a spot.
When should I book a cake smash session?
Cake smashes are best scheduled 2–3 weeks before your child’s first birthday if you want images in time for a party or birthday cards. Let’s chat early so we can design the setup around your vision!
Do I need to bring a cake or outfit?
I have a cake vendor referral but you’re always welcomed to bring your own cake to ensure it fits your child’s dietary needs and taste preferences. I provide studio wardrobe options for babies and light decor for your set. If you have a specific theme or outfit in mind, feel free to bring it!
Can siblings or parents be in the photos too?
Absolutely! A short family portrait or motherhood segment can be added to any milestone or cake smash session. Just let me know ahead of time so we can plan for it.
What if my baby cries or doesn’t cooperate?
Babies are unpredictable—and that’s okay. Sessions are designed to be flexible and calm. I follow your baby’s lead and we take breaks as needed. Some of the best moments come from the in-between.
