Baby Milestone Photography

Baby milestone sessions are a beautiful way to document your child’s first year, capturing the sweet, expressive stages that pass so quickly.

Milestones are often photographed at 3, 6, and 9 months. If you’re planning to do just one, we highly recommend the 7-month sitter session. We’ll create beautiful images that capture your baby’s sweet and unique personality. Before crawling and quick movements make things a little more unpredictable. The next favorite session, of course, is the 1st birthday cake smash!

These sessions are styled simply so that they are beautiful and timeless. I offer a wide variety of backdrop colors and classic wooden props and toys. I have found that babies do much better with less chaos or distractions. Beautiful, simple wooden props and toys, a solid backdrop, and a few simple sitting props or fabrics are ideal for stunning, timeless images.

What’s Included

Every baby milestone and cake smash session includes:

  • A studio session lasting 30–90 minutes (based on baby’s needs and whether siblings/parents are included)

  • Parents and siblings are welcome to be part of the session

  • Access to baby outfits, props, and fabrics from our studio wardrobe

  • Fine retouching on all purchased images

  • A gallery review appointment via Zoom

  • Long-term access to your private online gallery

  • Option to create custom press-printed cards through our online system

  • Exclusive savings on future sessions booked within one year

Every great photo session starts with a conversation.

What to Expect

Every session is unique, but my goal is always the same: to make your experience smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free from beginning to end. You'll receive clear communication, thoughtful guidance, and timely responses throughout. All details—including pricing—are shared upfront, so you can book with confidence.

  • We’ll start with a quick phone or Zoom call so I can learn more about your goals and vision for the session. I’ll walk you through how everything works, answer any questions, and go over pricing and artwork options. There's no pressure—just a relaxed conversation to see if we're a good fit.

  • Once you're ready to move forward, you’ll pay a retainer to secure your session date. I’ll guide you through the next steps and make sure everything is clearly laid out, so you can feel confident and excited for what’s ahead.

  • You’ll receive a session prep guide that covers everything—from what to wear and what to bring, to what to expect on the day of your session. You’ll also receive a detailed product and pricing guide so you can begin planning (and dreaming!) about how you’ll display your beautiful images.

  • Whether in my Minneapolis photo studio or on location, your session is designed to be relaxed and stress-free. I’ll guide you every step of the way so you never have to wonder what to do. We'll create a variety of images—from classic portraits to more natural moments—so you have a rich gallery to choose from.

  • After your session, you’ll receive a link to schedule your Zoom gallery review, which will take place 7–14 days after your session.

    During the gallery review, I’ll walk you through your images and help you select your favorite ones. We’ll also review product and package options for your final purchase and show mockups of albums, wall art, and other keepsakes.

  • Once you purchase your selections, I’ll deliver your images through a private online gallery. From there, you’ll be able to download your files and enjoy long-term access.

    Any products you’ve selected will be created and ordered at this time—delivery timelines vary depending on the item.

    “Lisa was the perfect photographer to choose for newborn photos of our son. As first time parents, she made us feel at ease immediately. We could tell right away she was a mother herself and found ourselves soaking up all the advice we could while watching her take beautiful photos we will cherish for a lifetime. The photos are absolutely gorgeous, and the experience was better than we could have hoped for. We will definitely be going to her for future photos of our family."

    "My family had an awesome experience during our one year old photo session with Lisa. She demonstrated patience, professionalism, kindness and the utmost care for us. When my daughter was crying almost through out her photoshoot and my 3 year old was running all over the place, I was ompletely overwhelmed and worried that we may have much time to take more photos. She offered to have us come over the next to complete it and to me, that was impressive and yes all the pictures came out so beautifully. I would 1000 percent recommend her and you will definately have a great experience. Thank you Lisa!!!"
