I’m so excited to share another one of my favorite 2024 round ups: milestone and cake smash sessions in my Saratoga Springs studio! There’s so many incredible milestones that happen in the first year of life and it’s such an honor to be the one who captures them for parents. Whether we’re capturing your baby’s milestones or their cake smash session, I aim to create classic and timeless portraits in our all-white studio with minimal purpose so the focus is on your baby. Cake smash setups are a little more elaborate, but capturing your baby’s joy and experience is always most important!

In the first year, your little one grows and changes so much. At 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, your baby is showing off all of the amazing things they can do! I’ve captured so many sweet toothy grins, a baby enjoying tummy time, and even toddling around the studio. Milestone sessions are a chance for your little one to show off - and a little way to freeze time so you can look back on these fleeting moments for years to come.

When your baby’s first birthday arrives, it’s time to think about a cake smash! I create a unique backdrop that reflects your family’s/baby’s interests. This year we had families ask for lots of creative ideas, from the Adirondack Mountains to French Bulldogs! All of our birthday sessions also include classic milestone portraits with our vintage high chair and a wooden cake prop, and of course the bathtub splash at the end! The bubble bath splash always brings out all the smiles!

I love that I get to follow families as their little one grows and capture each of the milestones that happen in the first year. It’s so special to me and it’s a part of my job I will never take for granted. Thank you for another beautiful year of capturing these special milestones!
