The Milestone Photography Experience
Your little one is growing fast, and every stage is worth celebrating! From big firsts to sweet in-between moments, I’m here to capture your child’s milestones in a way that feels natural, joyful, and full of personality.
Kids change in the blink of an eye, and each stage brings something new to love. My milestone sessions are designed to document their personality, expressions, and the little details you never want to forget. Whether they’re celebrating a birthday, learning to walk, or just being their silly, sweet selves, I’ll make sure you have beautiful images to cherish.
Perfect for Every Age & Stage
To secure your preferred date and time for our photography session, it's best to schedule early! To get started, just fill out the contact form and I will work with you to find a date that works for you. If you are inquiring about a birthday session it's best to make sure we schedule you about 3-4 weeks prior to your child's birthday to ensure you have your images back in time for their birthday.
1. Say Hello
After you've completed the required forms, your session will be officially booked in our calendar! This will ensure that your preferred date and time is reserved just for you.
I look forward to capturing your precious moments and helping you create beautiful memories that you'll treasure for a lifetime.
2. Schedule it
Let's discuss the details for your session.
It's time to plan your theme and discuss what you want to focus on during your time with me. Do you prefer more portrait style images or more directed candid images? How about a mix of both?
Need wardrobe ideas? I'm here to help with that too!
Lets work together to plan a memorable experience.
3. Planning it
The day has finally arrived! Take a deep breath and leave any worries behind as we work together to capture the very best of your kiddos. During the session, I'll guide you every step of the way, from posing to directing, so you can relax and enjoy the experience.
As a former nanny for over 10 years, I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve to capture your little one's attention and get them excited about the photoshoot. This may include making some funny noises, music to hype them, or playful movements to keep their focus.
Sometimes bringing their favorite toy/stuffed animal can also be helpful!
4. Your Session
After our session together, you'll have access to a private online gallery where you can view and share your beautiful photos. This is one of my favorite parts of the process, as it's always rewarding to see how much joy and excitement the images bring to my clients.
In addition, I offer a range of artwork collections to showcase your favorite photos in a variety of stunning formats, from gallery wraps to fine art prints. These collections make for beautiful heirlooms that you can pass down for generations to come.

"Working with Sheena is always such a fun and positive experience. I always have a blast doing photoshoots with her and she makes me feel so good and confident! Her work is amazing and she gets your photos back to you in a timely manner. I have gotten so many compliments on all my photos done by her! I worked with her for my senior pictures, and two fun photoshoots. All my experiences with her are so positive and I would recommend her to anyone who asks for senior pictures, wedding or engagement pictures, professional headshots, etc.!" - Kailey M

"I am so grateful we found Sheena. We needed someone special for a senior photo shoot and family Christmas photos. Sheena is creative, engaging and patient. You can trust her with any project."

"Our daughter is a senior this year. She's our only girl and the oldest which makes this a year of firsts for all of us. So when searching for a photographer who could take her senior photos, we were beyond grateful to have met Sheena. She made the experience so easy and stress free. The day of the shoot, my daughter was automatically at ease around Sheena. She is a professional that loves what she does and it comes through in her work. We ended up getting an album and it was so worth it. We're already thinking of doing a family session and one for our 8th grader too!"

"Sheena was absolutely wonderful with my extremely shy/introvert daughter. Her energy was so positive and she made the atmosphere so comfortable. Senior pictures turned out absolutely perfect! And we had an amazing time! Will definitely be back with my two younger kiddos when it’s time. Highly recommend!" - Shavonne
