Book a Cake Smash Photoshoot


Your session fee covers costs associated with my time designing your session, shooting the session, pre-editing your photos, and the viewing appointment for selecting your portraits. This is roughly about 5 hours of time per one-hour photoshoot. It is also applied to overhead, including studio fees, equipment, wardrobe, props, backdrops, travel, etc. Lastly, the session fee is applied to costs for continuing education, which support my unique photographic skills and talents that will create a beautiful and exclusive experience just for you. Your portraits and digital files from the session are sold separately. Packages start at $550

Planning Your child's

Photoshoot

Step 1 Book your Photoshoot

Milestone sessions are for children of any age and for just one child only. If you have more than one child you’d like photographed, please book a family portrait session.


The session fee is due to secure your photoshoot. This fee covers your photoshoot time and the costs associated with planning, styling, shooting, and viewing your session.


Once you have secured your session, we will email you a questionnaire to start the photoshoot planning process.

step 2 Experience The Photoshoot Magic

Milestone photography sessions last up to one hour and include several poses and backdrops. You're welcome to bring along anything you'd like your baby to be photographed in, and outfit changes are fun. I provide a variety of baby wraps, headbands, hats, and props.

Once your session is completed, we will schedule a view and order appointment. Your portrait package is sold separately.


We offer full-resolution digital files, heirloom-quality printed art pieces, and packages that combine both digital and printed art.


We are a full-service studio, which means your portraits can be printed and framed, wrapped in canvas, or arranged in a beautiful heirloom album.
