Milestone and Birthday Session Pricing

From first smiles to first steps to that first birthday, these sessions are designed to celebrate your baby's story in a beautiful, stress-free way.

Milestone and birthday sessions start at $750. Most families invest between $950 and $2,400.

These sessions document the stages that go faster than you expect. Tummy time becomes sitting up becomes walking before you have time to catch your breath. What you are investing in is a photographer who knows exactly how to work with babies and toddlers, keep them comfortable, and capture the personality that is already so uniquely theirs.

Outdoor sessions are available upon request.

Frequently Asked Questions

What milestone ages do you photograph?

Most milestone sessions are perfect for tummy time, sitter, and cruising stages.

What is the difference between Milestone and Cake Smash?

Milestone is a simple portrait session for a developmental stage. Cake Smash includes a birthday setup and time for portraits before the cake.

Do you provide the cake?

I am happy to provide a small, plain, white smash cake from HEB or you are more than welcome to bring something of your own.

Can we do family photos too?

Yes, the cake smash session includes optional family portraits on a simple backdrop.  You can add on a small portrait session to any milestone package when you book.

When should we schedule the cake smash?

At least 3 weeks before the big day. This way, I can get the finished images back to you in time to order prints if you'd like to display your photos at the party.

Can milestone sessions be done outdoors?

Yes. Outdoor milestone sessions are available upon request. Reach out and we can discuss locations and timing based on your baby's age and the look you have in mind.
