\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

WHEN ARE SESSIONS HELD?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milestone sessions take place at 4 months, 6 months, 8 months or 1 Year Cake Smash. Some parents want when their baby has developed more of a personality and can sit unassisted where others like to document their baby at all stages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DO I BRING ANY CLOTHES?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You certainly don’t need to. I will be honest, I have a shopping problem for Mini Client Wardrobe pieces making it so much easier for my clients. I have clothing in all sizes to fit the smallest and biggest of my mini clients. You can of course bring something but please send a photo a few days ahead of time to help me better prepare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHERE DOES THE SESSION TAKE PLACE?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I offer two separate studio locations. My main studio in in Rio, Wisconsin. The second studio location is in Pardeeville, WI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rio offers crisp lighting, solid backdrops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pardeeville offers a daylight, bright and airy aesthetic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ARE THERE THEMES TO YOUR SETS?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are not themes to any of my sets. My milestone sessions are strictly minimalistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT IF MY BABY CRIES?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some babies do. This is a time in a baby’s life where they are hitting the “stranger danger” faze and are more unsure of me. We can typically get some great shots though. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT IF MY CHILD IS GETTING OVER A COLD?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your child is getting over a cold or currently has a cold, please reschedule with me. I do not charge a rescheduling fee for sick kids or parents. I have so many tiny humans in my studio that I try to keep it as germ free as possible. If you are worried about the cake, don’t- they freeze!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

IF I WANT TO BOOK ALL OF THE MILESTONE SESSIONS, DO YOU BUNDLE? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Absolutely. I love the fact that you want to document all of those milestones. Let’s save you some money! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DO CAKE SMASHES HAVE THEMES OR BALLOONS?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cake Smashes do not have themes or balloon arches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DO YOU PROVIDE OUTFITS FOR CAKE SMASHES?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sure do. Many clients choose to not purchase anything for the cake smashes because I have such a wide variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DO YOU PROVIDE THE CAKE FOR THE CAKE SMASH?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cake is included unless your child has dietary restrictions\/allergies. Then I ask parents to bring in the cake. I can give some great bakeries if you need assistance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE MY CAKE SMASH GO BETTER?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I always recommend that parents introduce their baby to cake\/frosting prior to their cake smash just to get them used to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bring snacks such as puffs to hide behind the cake to get your baby to grab those if they are not showing interest in the cake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bring a bottle\/sippy as they tend to want a drink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"one<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

HOW LONG DO THE SESSIONS LAST?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milestone Sessions are usually under thirty minutes. 1-2 Setups and 1-2 Outfits. This can change pending baby’s mood. Some babies are super great with it and we can get in a third outfit, other babies are done after one outfit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
