Baby Milestone Photography in Salem, Oregon
Their Belly Laugh. Wrinkled Nose. It's All Worth Remembering.
YOUR BABY’S FIRST YEAR WILL ONLY HAPPEN ONCE.
AND THIS FIRST YEAR WILL NOT SLOW DOWN.
NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO.
You are building a career. Running a household.
Answering emails at 9 pm.
Trying to be present while also holding everything together.
This first year will move faster than anything you have ever experienced.
One minute you are on maternity leave. The next, you are scheduling daycare tours. Suddenly they are sitting up. Then crawling. Then pulling to stand.
And you find yourself folding their 12-18 month old clothes, wondering how it is already their first birthday. You will make an emotional post on social media, and use a cell photo you too last week.
As a Salem, Oregon baby milestone photographer, I see it all the time. The parents who say, “I cannot believe how much she has changed since newborn photos.”
You do not need more on your plate. You need someone who will take this off your plate.
You show up. I handle the rest. And your baby’s first year is preserved forever.
“If You Don’t Intentionally Capture It, What Will You Actually Have?”
YOUR PHONE HOLDS ALL YOUR MEMORIES.
BUT YOUR HOME DOESN’T.
You probably have thousands of photos on your phone already, just in their first few months of life.
But how many are truly accessible?
How many are up in your home on display?
How many will your child hold in their hands in twenty years?
Professional baby milestone photography in Salem, Oregon is not about adding more digital clutter. It is about turning this fleeting season into heirloom artwork. My twin boys learned how to say each others names by the photos I have up in my hallway! They would say “night night” to each others pictures on the walls, and giggle with laughter. Every day for months and months they did this. It is now a precious core memory that I wouldn’t have ever had with images on my phone.
Albums. Framed portraits. Tangible pieces that live in your home.
Because busy parents deserve memories that exist outside of a camera roll.
You probably wished your parents had prioritized more photos and memories of you. So what will your child one day wish you had prioritized?
THIS IS NOT JUST FOR YOU. IT IS FOR THEM.
One day, your baby will not be a baby.
They will be five. Then fifteen. Then grown.
And they will look for evidence of who they were. How they were loved.
The way their cheeks rounded when they laughed.
The way they clutched their toes.
The way they looked at you like you were their entire universe.
As a professional baby and first birthday photographer serving Salem, Oregon and the greater Willamette Valley, I create milestone portraits that become part of your family’s legacy.
Because these moments mattered to you. And it will matter to them.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO SCHEDULE MY BABY’S MILESTONE SESSION?
Baby Milestone Sessions are typically done around 6 Months and 1 Year, but they can be done anytime during their first year.
ARE BABY MILESTONE SESSIONS DONE IN STUDIO OR OUTDOOR?
Both! As long as baby is sitting unassisted, we can head outside. I have clients bring outfits for these sessions, but I provide all props for baby to sit in/on. All Baby Sessions are offered in my studio here in Salem, Oregon and I provide everything we need for those sessions. I additionally offer a Client Wardrobe for Baby Milestone Sessions in studio, so you don’t even need to bring outfits!
DO YOU OFFER ONE YEAR CAKE SMASH SESSIONS?
You bet! Cake Smash portion can be added right at the end of your 1 Year Milestone Session for either outdoor or studio. (For allergy/liability purposes, I have clients bring the cake.) I have a few darling backdrops you can choose from!
