One day, their tiny hands won’t fit in yours quite the same way. Their giggles will change, their favorite games will evolve, and their boundless wonder will shift with time.
Our Milestone sessions are all about preserving who they are right now—their personality, their spirit, their magic—so you can hold onto it forever.
Milestone sessions are simple and relaxed. Just a short pause to capture them in this very moment.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!! We very much look forward to working with Chrissy again in the future. We are so thrilled with how everything turned out and loved working with her!"
"Chrissy was also so patient with our two toddlers and really took the time to make sure she captured every shot. We couldn’t be more pleased with our photos and will return to her time and time again to capture our family."

FROM FIRST HELLO TO FINAL GALLERY
What working together actually
looks like
01. BOOKING
Fill out my contact form or send me an email. I respond within 24 hours — usually faster. We'll chat briefly about what you're looking for, and I'll send everything you need to get officially on the books: your contract, retainer, and session info.
You reach out
02. PLANNING
Before your session, I'll reach out to connect. We'll talk through your vision, what you want to wear, and anything on your mind. If you want professional hair and make up (which I highly recommend for maternity and newborn sessions) we can send our list of vetted artists. This is where the prep happens so session day can just feel easy.
We plan your session together
03. SESSION DAY
Come as you are. I'll guide you through the whole thing naturally — poses, movement, moments. Kids doing their thing? That's exactly where the real images are. The session is relaxed, fun, and always goes faster than you expect.
You just show up
04. GALLERY DELIVERY
Within two to three weeks, your full edited gallery lands in your inbox via a private link. Download, favorite, share — and if you'd like prints or an album, those are available too. We also can custom design wall art for your home.
Your gallery arrives
How long until I get my photos?
What if I have no idea what to wear?
What if my kids won't cooperate?
How far in advance should I book?
I recommend reaching out at least 6–8 weeks before your ideal session date. For newborns, I love hearing from families in the first trimester — your spot can be tentatively held and confirmed once baby arrives.

Genuinely my favorite part of family sessions. Kids being kids — running, laughing, refusing to look at the camera — makes for the best images. I'm patient, I'm experienced, and I promise you'll love what we end up with.

That's exactly what the styling consultation and studio wardrobe are for. I'll help you figure it out. Most clients come in feeling unsure and leave feeling relieved. You don't need to have it all together before you reach out.
