Milestones and First Birthdays

You’ve become a parent now, and I’m sure you’ve realized just how FAST those precious babies grow! Especially in the first year! Milestones are an important chapter in your family’s life and I’ve love to help you capture them as your Houston cake smash photographer! Milestone mini sessions are for babies 6-9 months of age, they do not have to be sitting just yet. Cake smash sessions celebrate that first year by allowing baby to get messy with their first birthday cake!

Reach out 1-2 months in advance to schedule your session, especially if you are needing images back by a certain date.

Sessions are done Monday-Fridays only in studio

Client Reviews

  • houston first birthday photographer custom backgrounds with balloon garlands

    Laura is so amazing at what she does ! We have now been to two sessions with her and both times she was patient, understanding, and caring for our baby girl! I would recommend Laura to anyone who is seeking timeless beautiful memories of their babies!

    Laura is amazing! She has done my son’s newborn photos, his 6 month milestone, and his 1 year cake smash. We can’t thank her enough for all the wonderful photos she has captured for our family.

    -Rubi

  • houston birthday splash rubber duckie bath

    Came back to Laura for my sons 1 year birthday after she did his newborn and 6 months shoot! Of course, as always, she did not disappoint! As my son is older and has more of a personality, she was able to still capture amazing photos, and grab his attention! Her quality of work is amazing! Love her!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • After your session, you’ll receive your proofing gallery one week later. You will then make your selections, and once your order is placed, it takes 2-3 weeks to receive final images. Please keep this in mind when booking. Rush options are also available.

  • Family portraits are included in cake smash sessions, and available as an add-on for milestone sessions.

  • Yes! I have several outfits for both boys and girls in sizes from newborn to 2T. If you have something special of your own, you’re welcome to bring it as well. At booking, you’ll see options for the client closet and make your selections on the booking questionnaire.

  • It’s best to reach out 1-2 months beforehand to ensure availability. Turnaround time is 1 wk for proofing gallery + 2-3 weeks after receiving selections. Please account for this when booking, especially if needing images back by a certain date. Rush options are also available.

  • Yes! For cake smash sessions, a simple white 5” cake is included. Please make sure to expose baby to cake at least 1 week in advance to check for allergies and to play with texture. If your baby is allergic, I do have a fake prop cake that can be used. If you would prefer to bring you own custom-designed cake, you are free to do so as well.

  • Cake smash sessions do include a custom balloon garland in the colors of your choice. Other options are also available on the booking questionnaire.

  • Milestone sessions are $350 and cake smash sessions are $450. Both sessions include 10 digital images retouched with the option to purchase more. Package upgrade options are also available that include prints, wall art and more

  • My studio is only open Monday-Fridays. Please schedule your session any time between 9am-2pm. (Preferably not around baby’s nap time). As a busy mom of two, a wife, and a business owner, my weekends are for my family. For this reason, please reach out 1-2 months in advance if you would prefer a Friday afternoon.

  • How fun! Pricing is the same for multiples. You have the option of having them smash into one cake, or add an additional 2nd cake so each baby gets their own cake! Both twins have full access to the client closet.

  • It’s very important to prep baby beforehand. I cannot guarantee smiles, though I try my hardest. Practice smiling, sitting, tasting cake, getting messy, etc. I have lots of patience for toddlers, but sometimes they just aren’t having it! Sometimes we use bubbles, put on Ms. Rachel, or act super silly! But hey, crying photos are cute and memorable too!
