What is a baby milestone session?

  • Baby milestone sessions capture the amazing changes in your little one during their first year and a half. Our studio follows all COVID-19 safety measures, and we’re fully vaccinated for various illnesses to keep your baby safe.

  • These sessions are perfect for preserving those adorable moments—sweet smiles, chubby rolls, and exciting new skills like rolling over, sitting up, and even taking those first steps! The best time to come in is when your baby is rolling or sitting up on their own, often known as a "Little Sitter." Months 4, 8, and 12 are our favorite as Baby changes the most.

  • We also offer fun Cake Smash and Splash sessions for those nearing their first birthday. Our studio has a bright and airy feel, with natural light and vintage touches to create beautiful portraits. We provide all the wardrobes and accessories so your little one will be perfectly styled. Bring the essentials in your diaper bag, and we’ll handle the rest!

THE SESSION PROCESS:

  • Package pricing is transparent and straightforward. Our studio focuses on selling full-resolution, retouched JPEG digital files and an unlimited print release you can use infinitely.

  • One flat rate includes studio time, design, wardrobe, proofing, retouching, and your gallery of impeccably edited full-resolution JPEG images available for instant digital download.

  • We offer availability for six days per week and a 14-day turnaround time throughout the year. Rush editing is available for purchase.

  • There are no in-person sales appointments, minimum print orders, separate session fees, or hidden fees. Select the package with the number of digital files you'd like to receive. 

  • Access to our client closet is included in all packages

  • Baby milestone sessions take place six days per week and are by appointment only. These are available to babies who are 2 months to 2 years old. The session focuses on the personality of your cherub and who they are as a little person. We’ll chat about which milestones your Little One is achieving!

  • Full styling, such as props and wardrobe, is included. All packages include a private online proofing gallery, print release, lab recommendations, and a list of cloud storage options to consider.

  • Please note that all parents are prompted to arrive 15 - 20 minutes early before your session. This helps settle everyone and allows us to give you a tour. After your session, an hour is set aside for you to feed Baby, pack up, have a snack, and take your time.

  • The studio also happily offers flexible rescheduling for illnesses, emergencies, and inclement weather. As parents of four children, we understand that sometimes something happens on the photoshoot day; no worries! You can call us on our direct lines with any updates.

  • You can add images of your family, siblings, or parents to your package when booking for a fee of $75 plus tax. This includes an extra 20 minutes of studio time and three additional digital files of your choice. If you're interested, you’re also welcome to use our client closet, which has motherhood and sister wardrobes available at no extra charge. We look forward to chatting with you!

Where do milestone sessions take place?

4550 Post Oak Place, Suite 203, Houston, Texas 77027

  • Appointments take place in the Houston Infant Portrait Studio, centrally located in Uptown. The studio and office are centrally located inside the 610 loop.

  • The studio offers excellent and brilliant natural light with a soft, heavenly glow. As a mommy to four young children, I can attest our little ones are adorable angelic cherubs and deserve to be showcased as such.

  • The neutral lifestyle room is clean, fresh, pure, and timeless, encompassing all the innocence of a darling baby boy or girl. Light floors, walls, and simplistic furniture never detract from your baby’s precious personality.

Simple without distractions

  • Removing distracting props embraces the personality and spirit of your Little One. Whether Baby is bashful or brave, joyful or thoughtful, or curious about the adventure in our world, your session cherishes their spirit.

  • Vintage-inspired props such as antique buckets, distressed miniature stools, and rustic farmhouse bowls accent sessions beautifully.

  • The cozy bed is a lovely prop for precious babies who are not yet on the move.

  • The images will forever be timeless; the purpose of portraiture is to pass these images down to your child as they grow in life. Removing distractions ensures props never detract from the precious nature of your ever so endearing little love.

Ever so purposeful and charming

Expect us to capture the spirit of your little one! Each child is adorable, captivating, sweet, often energetic, and fearless. During our time together, we will play while allowing the apple of your eye to be who they are. Sessions are very laid back. I have four young children (The Tiny Tribe of Wild Women and Chief Jack) and can confirm little ones simply want to connect and feel special.

Wardrobe and Styling are fully provided

The outfits are samples of what you may expect. The studio often updates the client's closet and adds new seasonal items. Expect all clothing to be classic, timeless, and vintage-inspired without distracting logos or cartoon characters.

The studio has over 500 outfits for little ones, and we’re always expanding the closet.

The client closet provides numerous options for newborns, infants, and toddlers, boy tops (up to 7t), shirts and tops for dads, darling knits and outfits for toddler boys and girls, and motherhood gowns. On-location airbrush makeup and hair artistry are available as an add-on, too. We also offer complimentary studio tours and gown fittings. We invite you to visit us so we may assist you with styling.

The Baby Milestone Client Closet has Over 200 Options. Below are samples of what you may expect, but by no means represent the variety of options we provide. The closet is regularly updated with new and precious items!

  • The client closet ensures your angel is cute as a button! Curated and luxury baby attire adorns dapper baby boys and petite little ladies. Your gallery is sure to showcase the most adorable tot on the block. The prop room is also filled with handcrafted and custom-made bonnets, hats, headbands, and tiebacks to highlight the cuteness of a chubby cherub.

  • Unique and exceptional details, such as wooden buttons, lace, classic hues, and soft cotton, decorate your angel. You will find swoon-worthy organic neutrals, vibrant jewel tones, muted colors, and dainty pastels.

  • Upon booking, we’ll chat about the colors you like. You may also tell me about the colors and decor within your home and nursery, and even perhaps a few you would like to avoid. All items are sanitized between use.

Cake Smash & splash details

A cake smash and splash celebrate Baby’s first birthday by having Little One smash a cake followed by splashing in a vintage farmhouse bowl or bucket.

  • Due to allergy purposes, clients bring a white 6” cake with buttercream frosting from your choice's bakery. HEB is always lovely!

  • A white cake stand or vintage high chair is provided for little one's cake smash smackdown. The studio offers outfits, warm water, bubbles, and an antique bucket or rustic farmhouse bowl. Parents bring cake toppers or any specific decor, such as a balloon, they might like incorporated.

  • Cake smashes best photographed at 11 months when the baby is not yet walking. This also allows the images to be displayed at their first birthday party or perhaps even used for invitations as you plan their celebration.

Rolls for days like a Shar-pei

When photographing a chubby little cherub, there is nothing more precious than baby rolls! Their darling smiles, ten little toes, and sparkling eyes are an absolute dream to document! How handsome is this dapper little fella as he shows off his muscles? Pure, fresh, clean, and natural baby portraits will forever stand the test of time; one day, these images will be on his mantle.
