With a relaxed approach and no pressure to perform, your baby is free to play, explore, snack and interact naturally within the comfort of your home. The result is a gallery focused on genuine expressions, curiosity and all the tiny details you never want to forget.

It starts with the smallest milestones you think you’ll never forget, first smiles, first sits, first steps, and then you realize how quickly each stage has already passed. Milestone sessions exist to help you hold onto the moments that matter most.

Click here to view availability and book your session or get in touch via the contact form if you have any questions before booking. From there, we will plan your session together based on your family and the story you want to preserve. Your session includes a fully edited digital gallery, thoughtfully curated so you can relive your full story and experience as it naturally unfolded. To reserve your session, a signed contract, selected date and a $250 non-refundable retainer are required.

In-home milestone sessions are centered entirely around your baby and the little details that make this stage so special. Whether they're sitting independently, exploring their favorite toys or enjoying a first birthday treat, these sessions are designed to preserve this fleeting season in a natural and meaningful way.

She was so patient and kind with the baby

I came to Erica for my sons first birthday smash cake photos. She was so patient and kind with the baby! I was nervous that we wouldn’t be able to get good pictures because the baby was a handful that day. She was amazing with him and photos came out absolutely perfect !!!
