Where
Our Beltline studio, Calgary
Between 3 and 10 months, babies go through so many adorable changes, from discovering their little personalities to sitting, interacting, and exploring the world around them.
Each stage brings something different, which is why some families choose to have two or even three sessions during this window to capture all these special phases. Sessions are relaxed and play-based, with plenty of time for snacks, feeds, cuddles, and breaks along the way.
If your baby is already past 10 months, we recommend a Cake Smash session to celebrate their upcoming first birthday! (learn more about Cake Smash sessions here).
As always, styling is handled. Our client wardrobe, props, and backdrops are all here waiting at the Calgary studio, so all you need to bring is your baby and their favourite people.

Here's how we make a milestone session effortless from the first call to the artwork on your wall.
Start with a discovery callWe plan around your baby, their age, their nap schedule, and the milestones you most want to remember. We reserve your date and, for first birthdays, design the cake smash theme together.
We style your baby from the studio's wardrobe, matching props and backdrops to your nursery or the theme of your celebration.
Bubbles, peekaboo, favourite songs, snack breaks, and cuddle resets, whatever your baby needs to shine.
Roughly a week later, your gallery comes to life on the studio's TV while we design your albums and wall art together. In person with honest guidance.
Your finished heirlooms arrive hand-delivered, framed, and ready to hang by our team, so this milestone lives on your walls, not in a folder.
First years move fast; the artwork shouldn't. Every collection is designed with you at your ordering appointment and handcrafted to be enjoyed now and handed down later.
Your baby's first year, chaptered and hand-bound, a book they'll love finding themselves in as they grow.

Amanda is the best!! She has been taking pictures for us for the last 3 years! It has been an amazing way to celebrate the milestones with beautiful pictures. They have ranged from newborn to first birthday cake smash to Christmas and Easter pictures. Amanda is so patient and so good with babies...we say that she is the baby whisperer.
Amanda is great with babies and made the whole shoot and review process easy and comfortable.
The images she managed to capture of my little one turned out perfect and her work is exquisite.
Amanda is great with babies!! She always has everything ready before we arrive at the studio and she’s super patient with the baby so we never feel rushed! Definitely recommended if you are looking for a baby photographer!
Amazing experience with Amanda, she loves her work and the pictures do the talking. We've taken hundreds of pictures but her pics stand out and are completely on a different level. Our baby wasn't the most cooperative in the beginning but she still surprised us when we saw the pictures. Kudos to you Amanda!

The magic window starts at 3 months old, once your baby can lie on their tummy and react to the camera; every giggle shows. Many families book at least one milestone session per year, a great way to keep track of their growth.
Yes! Cake smashes are one of our favourite sessions to photograph. We design the theme together, from bee parties to soccer dreams, and the studio provides the smash setup, so the mess stays with us, not in your kitchen. Visit the cake smash photography page to learn more about it.
That's exactly why these sessions are play-based. Bubbles, songs, peekaboo, snack breaks, and cuddle resets are all part of the plan. Some of the best images happen mid-giggle, not mid-pose.
Absolutely. Family and sibling portraits are a natural part of any milestone session, and we pace the studio time so little ones stay happy from start to finish.
We style your baby from the studio's curated wardrobe at your styling consultation, matching outfits and props to your theme. You're welcome to bring a favourite outfit or sentimental piece too.
Every booking starts with a free discovery call that covers the session fee and collection options, from digital files to albums and wall art. You choose exactly what you love at your viewing appointment, with zero pressure. Clients normally spend between $1,500 to $5,000 or more, depending on product selection.
