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.

FAQ

 

When should I book a milestone session?

Milestone sessions are best booked once your baby is confidently sitting on their own or when you’d like to document a specific stage, such as early crawling or standing with support. For the First Year Plan, sessions are scheduled at approximately 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and one year.

Where do milestone sessions take place?

All milestone sessions are photographed in my studio using professional studio lighting. A clean, seamless backdrop and simple sitter props are used to create timeless, distraction-free portraits.


What should my baby wear?

Neutral, simple outfits photograph beautifully and keep the focus on your baby. You’re welcome to bring multiple outfits for variety. Sitter props and styling elements are provided, and I’m happy to help guide wardrobe choices if needed.

What is included with a cake smash session?

Cake smash sessions are photographed in-studio with professional lighting and include a bubble bath session afterward, so your baby goes home clean and comfortable. Styling remains simple and timeless to keep the focus on your baby’s expressions and reactions. Cake included.

Are parents or siblings included in milestone sessions?

Milestone sessions are primarily focused on your baby. If you’d like to include parent or sibling portraits, please let me know in advance so we can discuss the best option for your family.

Your proofing gallery will be ready approximately 1–2 weeks after your session. You'll choose your included digital images directly from your online gallery, with the option to purchase additional favorites or upgrade to the full gallery.
