Documenting a milestone session every three months in the first year shows a tremendous amount of growth. It is fun to see all the little changes that happen so fast! When you book a milestone session you receive professional photos of your baby and will cherish them forever. After one year, it is still good to book a milestone session every
When we start milestone sessions with maternity, we get to know each other throughout your journey. It is important to feel comfortable with your photographer and I assure you we will accomplish that!
In Arizona, weather and lighting play a factor in scheduling sessions. Sometimes it can be hot and lighting can be harsh, so scheduling an outdoor session really has two ideal times: early in the morning or before sunset. This can be hard when a baby or toddler is on a strict schedule. With a studio session or an in home session, we can schedule any time of day and get good lighting and temperature. This is why I love indoors for milestone sessions with little ones.
All Studio Sessions in this post are taken at one of my favorite studios in downtown Phoenix, Studio House AZ
Maternity Milestone Session
Outdoor Maternity or Studio Session
This maternity milestone session is special! If you are having your first baby, this session brings so many feelings to new parents. You can choose an outdoor location, studio, or in home. You can have outfit changes both formal and casual. Choose outfits you are comfortable wearing.
Newborn Milestone Session
In-home lifestyle session
Newborn milestones can be taken in the comfort of your own home. There is something special about a new nursery. Most people spend time putting their nursery together, and often there are special gifts or even furniture like a handmade changing table that make the nursery a place where we want to get some of the first pictures you’ll take as a family.
We are able to take our time when you choose your own home. Sometimes during newborn sessions, moms need to stop and feed the baby or change the baby, and that’s okay! When we are at home we don’t have to stick to a time limit and it is less stressful. We can also include pets!
I love doing sessions at home with newborns because it makes it more comfortable for you and the baby.

Three Months Milestone Session
In the three month pictures, you can already start to see personality changes come through. That’s one of the reasons I love milestone session – we really get to see their little life unfold in pictures.
Six Months Milestone Session
This is one of my favorite milestone sessions! At six months baby is moving around, laughing, reacting to your faces and voice, and having a blast.
Nine Months Milestone Session
Nine months we are ready to include toys, stuffed animals, anything your baby loves. They are crawling and moving around. We love to play music, too!
One Year Milestone Session
One Year can be at a studio, your house, a party space, a park, wherever you choose!
One Year sessions are always the best! This is the time we make magic happen. Your little one is usually full of energy and ready to run around. Don’t worry, I am ready to move with them. One year can have a cake smash, a party, or just be you and baby in a park or at a studio.

Eighteen Months Milestone Session
You don’t have to stop at one year! When we do milestones, we can go on for all the important steps in life. I will be there for you.
Two Year Milestone Session
We must have some props, toys, and time to run around during a two year session!
Two and a Half Year Session
This is the age where we have to have a lot of patience during session. Kids are not meant to stay put for long periods of time. During these sessions we run around, dance, listen to music and just let kids be kids. And of course, the love it!
