Nobody warns you about this stage, so I will: somewhere in the first few months, they start smiling BACK. 😄

Not the sleepy newborn half-smile. A real one. Eye contact, full gums, the whole face. Your baby looks right at you and is clearly delighted, and it ruins you a little bit every single time.

This is the tummy time session — the one in between newborn and sitting up — and it is pure joy to photograph. They're awake. They're curious. They think everything I do is hilarious. There is no better audience on earth.

And if he looks familiar: you've watched him here since he was brand new, curled up and fast asleep. Look at him now. Captain of the ship. ⚓

📸 Got a smiley one at home? DM me the word SMILE before this stage turns into crawling away from me.

Happy almost-Halloween from the only person who has never once argued about a costume. 🎃

Newborns. They don't negotiate. They don't need to be a different superhero than their brother. They don't take the hat off. They just sleep through the whole thing looking unbelievably committed to the role.

So yes — he went full adventure movie. Little glasses, a basket, a bunch of balloons, a sky full of clouds and an adventure book for all the trips he's going to drag you on. If you know the movie, you know. 🎈 Then a cowboy for a minute, because why not. 🤠

And then my favorite part: no theme, soft blue, just him. The costumes are the fun ones. The plain ones are the forever ones.

📸 What's your house obsessed with — a movie, a team, a place? DM me the word THEME and we'll build it around your baby.

You've met her before. You just didn't know it. 🎀

Back in August she was in my post about little ones who won't sit still — six months old, sitting up in a denim romper in front of a giant pink bow, very much doing her own thing.

This is where she started. Just over a year ago, brand new and fast asleep on a Tiffany set.

She's one of my Baby Milestones babies, which means I don't get one session with her — I get her whole first year. The newborn session. Sitting up. Standing. And the first birthday at the end of it. Same studio, same family, and a baby who is a completely different person every time she comes through the door. 🥹

That's my favorite thing about this work, and I don't say it enough. One session is a beautiful photo. A year of them is a story. Put them side by side and you can actually SEE it — the cheeks fill out, the eyes open, the personality shows up, the hair finally makes an appearance.

You can't go back for the newborn photos once she's sitting up. But if yours is still tiny right now, you can have all of it.

📸 Expecting, or just had her? DM me the word MILESTONES and I'll tell you how the first year works.

If yours started kindergarten in August, I have news: it's almost November. 🍎

That year goes fast. FAST. One minute you're labeling a backpack and crying in the car line, and the next there's a cap and gown and a tiny speech about what he wants to be when he grows up.

This was his graduation session. I set up a little classroom — lockers, a chalkboard, a globe, an apple on the desk. We did the cap and gown first. Then the gown came off, and it was just him at that desk, being exactly the age he was. Those are the frames I'd fight for.

(The apple was supposed to be for the teacher. He had other plans. 😄)

If you're already feeling it this fall — you're not imagining it. This is the year they turn from little kids into real, opinionated SCHOOL kids, right in front of you.

Born in Miami. Of course he has his own sunglasses. 😎🌊

Little swim trunks, a bed of seashells, tiny flip-flops waiting for feet that won't fit them until next summer. And yes — a whale.

Before anybody messages me in a panic: he was never on a whale. 😅 The whale and ocean frames are composites. He's photographed safely in the studio, supported the whole time, and the sky, the sea and the whale are put together afterwards in editing. Safe first, pretty second. Always.

I love a themed newborn session when it means something to the family. Maybe it's the beach you go to every weekend. Maybe it's the boat. Maybe it's just that your baby was born in a city where it's summer eleven months of the year, and you wanted that in the picture.

He'll be on the real beach soon enough. For now, this is as close as he needs to get.

📸 Expecting a little beach baby? DM me the word BEACH and let's dream up his set.

Christmas card season starts sooner than you think. 🎄

My first Christmas Mini date is November 8 — about two weeks from now. And every year it goes the same way: the November dates go first, and in December someone messages me in a panic needing a photo for the card by Friday.

So, a friendly nudge while there's still room:

📅 November 8, 14 & 15
⏱ 30 minutes · one outfit
👨‍👩‍👧 Parents AND children in the frame
💵 $425 · $200 books your date

Thirty minutes is shorter than you'd think and longer than you need. Everyone's dressed, everyone's fresh, and you're home before anyone melts down. 😅

Note: these photos are from last year's minis — this year's set is a new theme and new colors.

📸 The booking link is in my bio — or DM me the word MINIS and I'll send it straight to you.

A first birthday session, in three acts. 🎀

ACT ONE — the family. Always first. Plain white backdrop, the grown-ups in, nothing in the frame but the people who got her through this year. She gets to settle in with the faces she knows, and Mom and Dad get their photos while they're still fresh — and then they're free to help me with her for the rest. These are the ones that end up on the wall, and the ones parents almost talk themselves out of. Don't. Look at the third one. 🥹

ACT TWO — the set. Teddy bears, teacups, and a little ladder she was VERY proud to be holding herself up on.

ACT THREE — the cake. Always, ALWAYS last. 🎂

People ask me why, and the answer is simple: once there's frosting in her hair, the session is over. There is no coming back from frosting. I learned that one the sticky way. 😅

📸 Turning one soon? DM me the word CAKE and I'll walk you through how I'd plan hers.

Rewind a year. 🌹

If you watched my reel back in August, you've already met her — all in cream, balloons and bows, turning eight and very grown up about it.

This is her at seven.

Red roses. A golden carriage. A dress with enough tulle to need its own seat. At seven, the brief was clearly: princess.

At eight? Cream, soft and elegant. Same girl. A completely different idea of who she is.

That's what I love about the families who come back every birthday. The photos don't just show you how much she grew — the theme she picks tells you who she was that year. Her taste, her mood, her whole personality, one year at a time. 🤍

And as the person who builds the sets: I genuinely can't wait to see what nine wants.

📸 Want to make her birthday portrait a yearly thing? DM me the word BIRTHDAY and let's start the tradition.

Every new baby comes with a family argument attached: whose nose is it? 👃

Grandma says it's her side. Dad says it's obviously his. Your sister has a theory involving a great-uncle nobody has seen a photo of since 1974.

This is where the close-ups come in. The lips. The hairline. The fingers. I shoot them at every newborn session, and they end up as the evidence in that argument for the next twenty years. 😄

And then there's the hair. Some babies arrive bald as a peach. This one arrived with a full head of it — and a hairline I'm fairly sure she'll have opinions about by fifteen.

Here's the part I love: give it a year and she won't look like this anymore. Not even close. These are what's left of this exact week.

📸 Due soon? DM me the word NOSE — and tell me who you think your baby is going to take after.

One-year-olds sit where you put them. Mostly. 🎈

Two-year-olds have opinions, working legs and a plan — and the plan is never my plan.

This one was a double: two birthday boys, one set, and one deeply shared commitment to Elmo. We started in costume. The costumes lasted about as long as you're imagining. 😂

Then came the blocks. Build the tower. Knock the tower down. Build it again, look me dead in the eye, knock it down again. Honestly? Some of my favorite frames of the whole session.

Here's my secret for photographing two: I don't fight it. I get down on the floor, let them run the show, and shoot the in-between — the waving, the wobbling, the moment one of them decides the camera is hilarious. That IS the photo of two. Nobody needs a stiff portrait of a toddler. You want the one that looks exactly like your Tuesday.

📸 Turning two? Good luck to you. 😅 DM me the word TWO and let's pick a theme they'll actually let you dress them in.
