Milestone and Cake Smash
The first year goes by WAY too fast! Each month they seem So different and are learning so many new things: different facial expressions, the new smiles, grabbing toes, rolling over, sitting up, standing, and celebrating ONE year! It's all so exciting. Mini milestone sessions are a fun way to capture each of the new growth phases to remember forever. Choose to book specific milestones or the "grow with me collection" that captures it all! This collection is perfect for putting together in an album to beautifully remember this monumental year.
*Mini milestone sessions are perfect for close up portraits of each child as they get older as well- not just at 1 year!*

FAQ's
Do I need to bring anything?
The goal is to get as many smiles as we can in a short amount of time! Bring anything that will help to do that- a favorite stuffy, toy, a snack or bottle, a phone with access to their favorite songs. The less people present is typically better because there are less distractions. If you have an heirloom prop or something you'd like to include, let me know ahead so I can plan!
Do I have to choose a cake smash?
Not at all! If you'd like to use the additional time to do extra traditional portraits with more than one set, that is great! We can plan ahead with outfits to match up something that works for you! I do have a client closet of outfits you are welcome to borrow from as well!
How do I plan for a cake smash?
Make sure to plan to purchase a cake or have one made ahead of time. Simple cakes (vanilla flavor) photograph the best and you can often find them at grocery stores or local bakeries easily. Themed cakes often need to be scheduled to be made ahead of time with a baker. I have a full bathroom with a tub in the studio that you are welcome to use to wash off frosting after the session. I do recommend doing a trial run with cake or cupcake at home a few days before the session so they can get a taste for it. Bring puffs or cheerios to hide on or around the cake in case they aren't as interested in eating it in studio! Every baby reacts differently!
