I met with Helena, her parents and her god parents at Mill Creek Park in downtown Bakersfield on a hot summer morning. Photographing her baptism right after her ceremony was such a pleasure!

What parents should know about baby milestone photo sessions π
Milestone sessions are about more than age β theyβre about development, personality, and connection during your babyβs first year.
πΌ Milestones are based on ability, not just age!
Every baby develops differently. Some sit early, some crawl later, some skip stages β milestone sessions are planned around what your baby can comfortably do, not a strict timeline.
πΈ The focus is on natural expressions:
Milestone sessions are baby-led. I follow your babyβs cues, allowing time for smiles, curiosity, movement, and breaks when needed.
π¨ Simple setups tell a timeless story!
Clean, minimal setups keep the attention on your baby β their expressions, features, and personality β so your photos donβt feel dated years from now.
π€ Each stage deserves to be remembered:
Newborn, sitter, crawler, or first birthday β every phase is fleeting and meaningful in its own way. Milestone sessions allow families to preserve more than just one moment in time.
πΆ A calm experience matters!
A relaxed environment helps babies feel comfortable, which leads to more genuine expressions and images that truly reflect who they are.
If youβre wondering which milestone is right for your baby, Iβm always happy to guide you.

Newborn sessions arenβt about perfectionβtheyβre about patience, safety, and comfort π€ After 10+ years of newborn photography, I design every session to be calm and baby-led.
They are best planned before baby arrives π€ Iβm currently booking newborn sessions in Bakersfield, with a calm, baby-led approach. If youβre expecting, now is the perfect time to reserve your spot.
