for the little in between moments
Tummy Time
Around 3 months old they start smiling and giggling in response to their parents interactions. To get the most variety out of this milestone you want to make sure they can lift their heads while laying on their tummy and look forward when propped up on their elbows.
Sitters
By 6 or 7 months old they are often sitting on their own. Sometimes they’ll need a little extra support to stay upright, but they’re learning to balance themselves. I like to capture them exploring their toes, those big smiles, and we revisit tummy time, which they are now superstars at. That’s a fun comparison from where they were last visit to where they are now.
Explorers
Your little 9 month old is probably an accomplished sitter, and could possibly be crawling away pretty quickly. They are just learning to pull themselves up on furniture and stand with support. Here we will do supported standing poses and sitting positions.

A holiday sitter session | Luca
Luca and his family came in for a holiday sitter session recently. First of all, I can not believe how big he got. He's going to tower over his big brother soon! When I knew we were tossing a holiday theme into the mix, I had the perfect excuse to order this little...
Working with kids | Leena
Let’s be honest, working with kids is a massive part of my career choice. From newborn sessions to family sessions and even weddings, there’s most often kids involved. If I had a dollar for every time a client told me that I had the patience of a saint as their...
Milestones at 1.5 years | Delilah
Milestones at 1.5 years are a complicated mess of kids running around everywhere. The cute little Delilah that once sat so still was everywhere all at once. She had a mind of her own, how she wanted to sit, what chair she wanted to sit on. Where she wanted the chair...
Rochester 9 month session | Sofia
I can't believe we are already back at the studio for Sofia's Rochester 9 month session! It was just yesterday it feels like that she was here for her 6 month, and now we're starting to plan her cake smash! That first year truly flies by in a haze doesn't it? Sofia is...
Simple Birthday Celebrations | Hazel
After the big first birthday bash, simple birthday celebrations are the best way to document future milestones. Hazel was in for her 2 year portrait session today. There are just some kids that make my job easy. Hazel (and her brother) are always those kids. Honestly,...
Rochester 6 month session | Sofia
If you saw Sofia's last session with me, welcome back, this is all about her Rochester 6 month session! I love following my little clients throughout their first year. Capturing all those milestones takes me right back to the early days of my own parenthood journey....
2nd Birthday Photos | Evan
This wild little man was back at the studio for his 2nd birthday photos today. I can't believe it's been a year since he was here for his cake smash. He's grown so much this last year. He is keeping his mom on her toes. She chased him in circles the entire time at the...
Rochester 3 Month Milestone Photographer | Sophia
It's been a few months since Sophia was at the studio for her newborn session, and today she was back for her 3 month milestone session! I love getting to see how much the kids grow. I miss those days with my own kids. They change so quickly in those first months....
18 month session | Hazel
Hazel was at the studio today for her 18 month session. I can not believe the spunky little newborn has turned into an adorable (still spunky) little 18 month old. It’s been such a delight watching her grow up. Each and every session brings laughter and a lot of work....
