Learn about Milestone Sessions | Madison, WI Baby Photographer

Milestone sessions are one of a kind and to be frank- they are a blast full of personality.

Your baby at one time was this itty bitty little human and now they are growing, learning new things, developing a whole personality and I bet you anything- you are loving it!

Many families choose to do milestone sessions every few months after the newborn session while others choose to wait until their baby hits a few really important milestones.

-Sitting unassisted.

-Laughing

-Rolling over.

Either way, it is an absolute blast.

When booking your milestone session, give some thought as to what you really want showcased. Do you want your sitting and laughing in their pictures? Do you want your baby to be laying on a solid backdrop or wood planks showcasing their sweet smiles?

Let’s face it- the time is fleeting. The memories will fade. Take it from me, I am a mama of three but as the years go by, I slowly forget the small things that I wish I had written down, taken videos of, captured more with photos.

I truly miss those moments.

The session can take place in either the Rio or Pardeeville locations. It just depends on your vibe or aesthetic.

-The Rio studio tends to be more of a rich tone with seamless paper and props.

-The Pardeeville studio is bright and airy with minimal prop use.

A few common questions that I get asked about milestone sessions are:

What if my baby doesn’t smile?

-To be honest, not all babies smile. Some babies hate me (haha, kind of joking), some babies only want their parent. It is all completely natural. Not every baby is the same, not every baby cries or laughs and some have a variety of emotions.

Do I need to bring anything?

-Nope! The studios are fully stocked with outfits for your little to wear during their session.

How do you make my baby smile?

-We play music- sometimes it is nursery rhymes other times it is music that the baby’s parents listen too that baby enjoys. I have had a variety of music ranging from nursery rhymes to Elvis and Eminem.

-I always encourage to sit on the floor behind me and play games, make funny faces and encourage your little to smile.
