Milestone photography focuses on the first year of life. From 3 months to 1 year I'm happy to photograph your baby as they grow. Your baby's first year cake smash comes with cake, a set up planned from our consultation call and outfits that I purchase for the session. Other outfits can be brought and family members can also attend.

Imania's cake smash and family pictures for her first birthday. We had such a beautiful time with Imani and her family and she loved smashing the cake and dancing!

Haven's 6 month session was so beautiful and mom wore the same dress she wore in her maternity session. I found Haven an almost identical color dress and Haven had the best time at her 6 month Milestone Session

Not everyone loves a cake smash, but at lest sweet Lincoln loved his first set up.
If you're not sure how your baby will react to a cake smash session I always suggest having them play with icing first. Sometimes they just don't like the feel of it.

The Milestone Experience
How does your little ones first year of life go by so quickly? Only yesterday you were holding them in your arms and now they're crawling (or running) away from you at break neck speed. Milestone sessions are a great way to capture that first year of life. Their personality really comes out and shines through these sessions. I love being able to capture them grow for you and even to have you in the photos! Have a vision for the session? Contact me and we can plan your perfect session.
In a blink of an eye they're
turning one!
Your milestone session experience starts here! Once you've completed the contact form, I will reach out to you either in 24-36 business hours.
I will also send you information about how a milestone session flows and more. We will then have a short phone call to discuss your vision for your little one's milestone session.
If you decide to move forward with a milestone session, we will then plan a date, and your session fee will be collected.
1. Say Hello
Once your session fee has been collected we will then plan your perfect session. From colors to props, you and I will discuss all the ends and outs of your milestone session. Please let me know of any allergies so I can tell my baker when ordering your little ones cake. We will then pick out a date 2-3 weeks before your little ones first birthday for the session.
I typically only take a handful of milestone sessions each month so it is advised to book early to guarantee a spot. The earlier you book the better so I can make sure I have all the items you need for your littles ones session. Milestone sessions are normally photographed M-F during business hours.
2. Schedule it
Before your milestone session you will receive a prep guide that will prepare you and your little one for their big day. When the day arrives you will come into the studio where a combination of 2-3 backdrops will be set up and also the cake smash area. Milestone sessions can take anywhere from 1-1.5 hours.
Family members are welcome to attend your little one milestones session just make sure to let me know if you are wanting family pictures so we can have time to take those.
Once your session is completed, we will discuss your reveal and ordering appointment.
3. the session
About a week after your session, we will have your reveal and ordering appointment. This is normally done via zoom, but I am happy to accommodate any needs for in person reveals.
Your reveal appointment is where you will see your little ones portraits for the first time. Some images will be edited so you can envision what the final artwork will look like. You will also be able to purchase any heirloom artwork and pieces to display in your home.
4. Your Reveal
After we finalize the retouching of your fine art images you will receive the digital copies in an online album. Please allow 2-3 weeks for digitals and 4-6 week for products and artwork. Specialty artwork like the guilded canvas may take longer.
Once your heirloom artwork and images have been delivered I will check them over to test for any abnormalities. Once checked over, I will either deliver your products to you personally, or mail them to you. The are then yours to enjoy for your lifetime!

The Session Details
From the very first time I spoke with Ansley I knew this was going to be a great experience. She did our maternity pictures and will do newborn pictures when our baby arrives. She made me feel so comfortable, we laughed and had a blast during the entire shoot. Our maternity pictures are absolutely magical. The entire experience was dreamy, from the hair and make up, to picking our pictures out. Choose Van Epps photography! You will not be disappointed!
