Rochester, MN Photographer: Milestone session

FAQ: What is a milestone session?

A milestone session is a great option for capturing your child at a variety of milestones in their lives. Typically you will see parents book these on a birthday or during the first year (sitting, standing etc) The sessions are for one child and we can do these in studio or outdoors or a little of each! For a one year birthday (or beyond) you can choose to do a cake smash, fruit bath or bubble bath as a fun addition to the photos. I offer a variety of wardrobe options or bring your own!

A collage wall art is the perfect way to enjoy your photos from the milestone session!

Rochester, MN First year Henry and Lily

Celebrating your child as they grow throughout the first year is a joy for me as a photographer. I enjoy seeing those little personalities begin to emerge. My first year plan covers the newborn session and 3 additional milestones. I like to see babies around 4/5 months when then are just learning to hold up their head and smile. The next stage is around 7-9months when they are sitting steady without falling over and maybe not yet crawling. Lastly, we celebrate their birthdays at 12 months! Many times families will include mom and dad on one or multiple sessions as well. Enjoy this album layout from Henry and LIly’s first year!

I am asked many times “What should I bring for baby?” I typically say, just bring baby and leave the clothing up to me! Clothing does make a huge difference in your photos. Here is a selection of outfits I carry in the studio.
