There are moments that take your breath away as a mother—the first time they sit up on their own, the sweet mess of a first birthday cake, or the way they hold your gaze with a proud, new accomplishment. These fleeting milestones aren’t just dates on a calendar, they’re the heart of your family’s story, filled with love and meaning. And one day, the house will be quiet. The toys packed away, the tiny shoes gone. But these glimpses of now, you can keep them. That’s why I’m here.
Together, we’ll create imagery that allows you to hold onto their milestones, not just in your heart but in your hands, for years to come.
Four weeks after your session, you’ll receive a gallery filled with treasured moments. From there, I’ll help you choose the perfect images to transform into timeless artwork—whether it’s a custom album or wall art that grows with your family—ensuring these memories live on as a beautiful part of your home.
Milestone moments are full of wonder, and capturing that magic should feel effortless. On the day of your session, you can relax knowing I’ll guide you every step of the way, creating a playful and comfortable atmosphere for your little one. The result? Genuine, heartfelt images that celebrate this unique season in your family’s life.
Whether it’s the joy of a six-month sitter session, the fun of a first birthday cake smash, or another family milestone, I’ll ensure the entire process is seamless. From styling your family to selecting the perfect setting— whether at home, outdoors, or in a studio— I’ll handle every detail. All you need to do is focus on soaking up these precious moments with your child.
Every milestone is worth celebrating, and your journey begins here. When you submit an inquiry, you’re taking the first step toward preserving the moments you never want to forget. Within 48 hours, I’ll confirm availability and learn about your child’s milestone, your hopes for the session, and any special touches you envision. Together, we’ll create a plan that feels personal and meaningful to your family.

Working with Meredith was an unforgettable experience. She made me and my daughter feel so seen, cherished, and comfortable throughout the entire session. Her kindness, patience, and genuine warmth shone through in every moment — not just in how she interacted with me, but especially in how beautifully she connected with my daughter. The photos captured so much more than just images; they hold the emotion, tenderness, and meaning of this special time in our lives as we await our second baby. I will treasure these memories forever. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a photographer who truly puts her heart into her work

moments that feel significant to your family
First birthday Cake Smash sessions are a fun and memorable way to celebrate this milestone. Typically, we begin with a regular session to capture timeless portraits of your baby, and then save the cake smash for the last 10 minutes. This approach ensures we document both classic and playful moments, creating a perfect blend of images to commemorate your baby’s first year.
Yes, I do!
While the focus is on your baby, I always encourage including siblings or parents for a few heartfelt images. These moments beautifully capture your growing family’s bond and add even more meaning to your portraits.
Absolutely!
