One Friday a month (and sometimes on a Sat), I hold MMM’s - Maternity & Milestone Minis. These are 15 min sessions held at my studio with 2 simple setups. In 2-3 weeks you will receive a gallery of photos and you will get your choice of 3 photos.

If your child is celebrating a first birthday, I will have a few balloons available (you can tell me color requests) or you can bring your own. Because of time limits, cake smashes are only available for custom sessions.

There will be only be time for one outfit and these sessions are for baby only for milestone sessions and mama only for maternity sessions.

If you would like something a little more custom, please reach out and we can schedule a custom session!

Hope to see how your little one has grown and capture some memories for you!

What Are Milestone Sessions?

Milestone sessions focusing on whatever milestone your baby is currently mastering. Smiling, tummy time, sitting, pulling up on things, walking…or just month to month milestones to capture their growth from the previous month. These are a great way to capture your baby's first year. The mini sessions are quick and easy sessions to document your baby's growth and development in the most evolving year they will ever have in their life!

When Should You Do A Milestone Session?

Anytime! The most popular times are when your baby can push themselves up (and enjoy) yummy time, when they are sitting and on their first birthday. But you can come every month if you want monthly progress of your baby’s growth.

Preparing for your Mini Session

There will be a limited amount of time (15 min slot) - sessions are scheduled back to back so please be sure to be on time for your session, otherwise, it will take away from your shooting time.

When it comes to selecting an outfit for your little one, anything sweet for your little will do great! The set is neutral so you can go with neutral (my personal fav) or some color.

Getting smiles! Depending on the age and personality of your child, sometimes getting those smiles can be a challenge when a stranger is holding up odd equipment in front of them. Especially the itty bitty ones. Even my own kids will be all smiles when I'm looking at them and the second I put up my camera they often stop. So I may need your help at times to stand behind me and work your magic to get those sweet smiles.

What to Wear for your Maternity Mini Session

My favorite brands are Baltic Born, Pink Blush and Amazon. But honestly, wear anything that makes you feel good and shows off that cute bump. Neutral colors are always great, but if you like bold colors, wear bold. This is all about YOU. If you are looking for more advice on what to wear, here are more details.

Using Your Milestone Photography Session Photos

Once your session is complete, you'll receive your gallery in 2-3 weeks and will be able to select your photos and purchase any additional photos if you wish. You are free to print and share your digital photos as you wish!
