A fresh blanket of snow fell overnight and provided more light bouncing through the windows during this lifestyle milestone session. These types of sessions allow children to be in their own space. The photos i love to capture are of them playing with heir favorite things. These photos will be around long after the toys. Think about your children’s favorite toys…do you have photos of them playing with them? You know, the ones that you dread picking up every night but know they are loving with all their heart.

Lifestyle sessions (maternity, newborn, milestone or family) are unique and reflect the family’s personal style. Each session is vastly different and allows for images that are distinct and beautifully original based on the way the family chooses to live their every day. While studio milestone sessions can have a beautiful and clean aesthetic, there is something so authentic and real about being in your own home.

This family’s home was cape cod style with intimate rooms where there were touches of modern but plenty of character to create a simple backdrop for capturing E’s bountiful expressions and spend time reading with her parents, something they do daily!

Lifestyle Milestone Session

Thank you to E’s parents (and grandma) for entrusting me with these special memories of her for her first birthday! Let’s plan a lifestyle milestone session that is authentic to your child’s every day moments. Ones that may seem so simple to us as adults but are extraordinary opportunities to play and create for your children! Reach out today via my contact page!
