The first year goes quickly... each stage blending into the next before you realize how much has changed. Milestone sessions are a simple, joyful way to document your baby’s personality as it changes - from tiny expressions to sitting, crawling, and first steps - without the stress of planning.
Effortless and joy filled MILESTONE SESSIONS
Milestone Baby Photography in Northwest Arkansas
The sleepless nights and endless cuddles. The hours of crying but also the fleeting little giggles and smiles. The delight when he learns something new... and the exhaustion of changing yet another dirty diaper.
Babies grow and change so quickly that it’s hard to imagine how they once fit perfectly curled up on your chest. But every time you see a photograph, it takes you right back to that moment. I’m so thankful for portraits because with them, you’ll never truly forget.
Let's make sure every sweet season is captured before it's gone.
I cried looking through all the photos… these are going to be so treasured!
THESE ARE THE GOOD OLD DAYS.

EACH MILESTONE SESSION is designed to feel effortless.
There’s no “right” time for milestone photos - we photograph babies of all ages. From first smiles and belly laughs to sitting, crawling, and those unmistakable gummy laughs, each month brings something new.
Baby milestone sessions are designed to document your baby as they are in each season, without pressure or expectations. While six months is the most popular age to photograph, milestone sessions can be planned at any point during your baby’s first year, allowing you to capture the moments that feel most meaningful to you.
Baby Milestone Sessions
Milestone sessions take place in our Bentonville studio and always include the entire family, if desired. First Year Collective members have priority booking and are offered our exclusive dates first.
Congratulations, you made it! A first birthday marks a full year of change, for your baby and for you. These sessions celebrate that milestone in a simple, joyful way, focusing on connection and personality rather than themes or distractions.
Whether you choose to include a cake or keep things minimal, first birthday sessions are designed to feel relaxed and intentional, resulting in portraits that reflect this season beautifully.
First Birthday Sessions
First birthday sessions can take place either in the studio or outdoors. First Year Collective members have priority booking and are offered our exclusive dates first.
Studio simplicity sessions are perfect for families who want a short, focused session for the in-between moments. These sessions are intentionally pared back, offering a beautiful way to document your baby without the planning or time commitment of a full signature session.
Thoughtfully guided and photographed in studio, simplicity sessions are ideal for capturing meaningful moments in a season when time feels especially limited.

Stephanie is an absolute dream to work with!
Her attention to detail and thoughtfulness is incredible, and she made family portraits so fun. It was great to show up and have hair/makeup and wardrobe provided, which definitely simplified things for me as a busy mama.
Highly recommend her to document your family!
