Vivian
6 month milestone
"Working with Emily has been such a wonderful experience. She puts so much thought and creativity into planning each session. Her attention to detail is incredible, and she has such an eye for capturing the little moments that mean the most. She’s always made our family feel comfortable throughout the entire session, and the photos always turn out even better than I imagined. I couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for beautiful, timeless photos they’ll treasure forever."

“We had an amazing experience with Memories You Create Photography for our daughter’s 6-month photo shoot! She was incredibly patient, reliable, and flexible throughout the entire process. She truly listened to our ideas and brought our vision to life - capturing the most beautiful and perfect pictures! Her attention to detail and ability to make the session feel relaxed and enjoyable made all the difference. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend to anyone looking for a talented photographer to capture life’s special moments!”
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a milestone session?
Milestone sessions are designed to capture your baby's growth and personality throughout their first year and beyond. Common milestones include tummy time, sitting up, crawling, standing, first birthdays, and everything in between.
When should I schedule a milestone session?
Popular milestone ages include:
* 3–4 months (smiles and tummy time)
* 6–8 months (sitting independently)
* 9–10 months (crawling and standing)
* 11–12 months (first birthday portraits)
If you're unsure, I'd be happy to help determine the best timing based on your baby's development.
What if my baby doesn't like the cake?
Believe it or not, that's very common! Some babies dive right in, while others prefer to poke at it or simply enjoy the experience. Either way, we capture adorable memories. Other food options are available.
What if my child is sick?
If your child is feeling unwell, please reach out as soon as possible. We'll discuss rescheduling options to ensure everyone stays healthy and comfortable.
Do milestone sessions include birthday portraits?
Yes! Many families schedule their first birthday session around month 11 so images are ready for birthday invitations, decorations, and celebrations.
What if my child is messy, curious, or wants to explore?
Perfect! Milestone sessions are designed around your child's personality. There is no expectation for perfect behavior. Some of the best images come from little ones being exactly who they are—curious, playful, and wonderfully themselves.
Why should I book milestone sessions?
The first year goes by incredibly fast. Milestone sessions preserve the tiny details, expressions, and accomplishments that change so quickly—allowing you to remember exactly who your little one was in each stage of their journey.
