Planning Your Milestone Children’s Photoshoot
-
[ Step One ] 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 Two } 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.
-
{ Step Three } View Order & Enjoy Your Photos
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.
