Milestone Session Pricing & Booking
Hi, I'm Sarah. I'm so glad you're here.
Your baby's first year is filled with so many changes — first smiles, tummy time, sitting, crawling, standing, and a personality that seems to grow by the day.
Milestone sessions are a simple, beautiful way to document these stages before they pass. Sessions are relaxed, baby-led, and photographed in my Bonsall studio with clean, timeless styling that keeps the focus on your little one.
Take a look through the session options below to choose the experience that's right for your baby. If you're not sure which milestone to photograph next, I'm always happy to help.
