Why Milestone Sessions Matter
Tulsa child photographer
Let’s be real—this season is flying by.
One minute you’re googling “how to swaddle,” and the next you’re chasing a baby who just learned how to crawl at full speed across the living room. As a mom, you’re doing your best to soak it all in—but between laundry piles and nap schedules, it’s easy for the little things to blur together.
That’s where milestone photography comes in.
These sessions are designed to slow time down and help you hold onto the tiny moments that make this season so sweet:
✨ A gummy grin with two new teeth
✨ That proud little sitter pose
✨ The way they light up when they see you
With a milestone session, you get intentional, frame-worthy portraits that feel just as joyful and playful as your little one is. And you don’t have to lift a finger—I'll handle the setup, props, and styling. You just bring the baby (and maybe a snack).

Milestone session FAQ
*What is a milestone session?
In short, a Baby Milestone Session is a photo shoot at my studio for babies aged between 4 months and 11 months. The session focuses on capturing natural, timeless photographs of your baby to document all of their gorgeous details and their amazing new skills – whether that's rolling, sitting, or crawling.
*what to expect in a newborn session?
Milestone sessions usually take 30-45 minutes. We focus on your little one's details as well as their new achievements such as pushing up on belly, smiling, sitting, playing with their toes, etc... Bringing snacks can be helpful.
*what time of day is best for a milestone session?
In my experience the best time of day is morning or 9am to 12noon. We work aound naptimes to make sure we have a rested and happy baby.
Shelly always gives me great pictures! I love that she goes above and beyond to make sure she has the perfect spot for the vision you have! Love her!
While my services do include digital-only collections, meaning no printed artwork from your session, I feel compelled to express my deep belief in the transformative power of seeing oneself as art.
There’s something profoundly special about encountering your image in print, whether it’s flipping through the pages of your album or marveling at your exquisite metal art prints. In print, your memories become tangible, tactile, and timeless, inviting you to immerse yourself fully in the beauty of each frame.
So while digital copies offer convenience and accessibility, there’s a described magic that comes with holding your memories in your hands and admiring them in physical form. It adds emotion, and significance to the images, making them not just pictures, but cherished treasures for generations to come.
When you receive your gallery you will be able to see what your images look like on all types of products. If you are a visual person, like myself, this will help you make the best choices! You can see what it will look like before any purchasing takes place.
