From First Giggles to Fifth Birthdays

You’re in the Right Place If…

  • You believe your kid’s personality deserves center stage, whether they’re 6 months old or suddenly turning 6.
  • You’re more into quiet moments and real connection than elaborate props or posing.
  • You catch yourself saying, “How are they already this big?” at least once a week.
  • You want someone who sees the sacredness in everyday things: the tight hugs, the determined first steps, the bedtime rituals you never want to forget.

As a baby and milestone photographer in Austin, I’m here to help you document the everyday wonder of growing up. Whether it’s your baby sitting up unassisted for the first time or your fiercely independent 3-year-old insisting on wearing their Elsa costume to Costco yet again… these sessions capture the first wobbly steps, the proud new skills, and the way they still reach for you to pick them up when they’re tired.

Hi, I’m Jessica — photographer, mom,
and real-life book nerd.

Parenthood comes with so many voices telling you what to expect and somehow none of them prepare you for how fast everything changes and the unpredictability of raising kids.

I’ve had two kids, five years apart, both C-sections, both totally different experiences. I’ve made a lot of mistakes (and Googled a lot of things at 2am), and I’m still learning how to show up and be the kind of parent I want to be.

These photos aren’t about showing off milestones for the sake of it. They’re about noticing them. Documenting what matters while it’s still unfolding… a missing tooth, the way their curls catch the light, the imaginary friend that’s part of every conversation. These little things shift so quickly. These sessions are a way to keep them close, even as they grow out of your arms and into the world.

Milestone Portrait Pricing

Newborn sessions start at $595 and include a pre-session guide, wardrobe help, and a full gallery of real, emotion-filled images.

Milestone Photography Reviews for Jessica

Being a mom herself, she knew how to work with my kiddos…

Jessica was so great to work with. Being a mom herself, she knew how to work with my kiddos 🙂 She caught us all in our element and really captured the phase of life we’re in now. Her communication is great and she did so much to help us get prepared for the photo session. I think this really helped everything go smooth! My husband said after we received our gallery that these photos are some of his favorites ❤️

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Honestly, movement is a huge part of what makes these sessions fun and real. I’m not here to make your child sit still… I’m here to capture their personality in action. Whether they’re dancing, spinning, climbing, or darting off to see a bug, we’ll work with that energy to create images that feel like them. Plus I’m pretty fast and they love it when I chase them down lol.

Most sessions last around ~45 minutes. That gives us plenty of time to ease in, play, and follow your child’s lead.

I offer sessions outdoors in beautiful natural light, or indoors in your home, depending on your child’s age and comfort level. We’ll choose a location that suits your family’s vibe and needs.

Yes, of course! So once your session is booked you’ll receive a questionnaire to complete that will tell me about your kiddos and how I can make this the best experience for them!

Yes! Props aren’t necessary, but meaningful items, like a favorite blanket, toy, or book, can help your child feel comfortable. Not to mention, sometimes those are the sweetest because they aren’t going to always want their favorite stuffed animal.

Absolutely. Every phase brings something worth remembering. Whether your baby is starting to roll, grabbing their toes, or giving you big gummy grins, we can capture these fleeting in-between stages in a way that feels timeless.

Turnaround time varies during busier season. You can plan to receive your online digital gallery anywhere from 2-4 weeks or less depending on volume. You’ll receive a link to your gallery to download your images and order prints. For albums or artwork, I offer guidance so you’re never left wondering what to do with your images.

Life happens. I build flexibility into my calendar for reschedules, especially for families with little ones. We’ll stay in touch leading up to your session, and if something comes up, we’ll make a new plan, without stress.
