Milestone Photo Session FAQ’s

  • Once we start shooting, these sessions move quickly! The photo session itself typically lasts about 25 minutes. If you’re including a cake smash, plan to be here for around 45 minutes to allow time for cleanup and changing your little one before you head out.

  • Absolutely! You can go with a simple, clean look, something more elaborate, or anything in between—it’s totally up to you and your vision for the session.

  • I provide a clean, classic white background that keeps the focus on your little one. If you’d like to add decorations or a themed setup, you’re welcome to bring your own! Many of my clients find great options on Etsy or Amazon.

  • Yes, you do! You can choose anywhere you would like to print your images.

    Note - My photos are edited to print on high quality calibrated machines. While big box printers are ok, the coloring on prints will vary from place to place.
