Seattle Baby Milestones Photography – Sessions, Pricing & What to Expect
Milestone and cake smash sessions are a beautiful way to celebrate your baby’s first year — from sweet smiles and first steps to that unforgettable first birthday moment. My sessions are designed to feel light, natural, and joy-filled, all within a clean, airy, and timeless setup in my Everett studio.
I focus on simple, white-toned styling that keeps your little one at the center of every image. No bold themes or heavy props — just a soft, classic look that will never go out of style. From milestone portraits to a beautifully minimal cake smash, I’ll gently guide the session to keep your baby comfortable, happy, and authentically themselves.
Together, we’ll capture those fleeting details — chubby cheeks, tiny toes, and big grins — in a way that feels effortless, elegant, and true to your baby’s personality.
Choose a session that reflects your vision — clean, simple, and forever timeless.

Frequently asked questions
What is a milestone photography session?
A milestone photography session captures important moments in your baby’s first year—like sitting up, crawling, or the 6-month mark—to preserve their growth and personality. These sessions focus on natural, candid images that celebrate your baby’s unique development.
When is the best time to schedule a milestone session for my baby?
The ideal time for a milestone session is around 6 months old when many babies start sitting up independently and showing more personality. For cake smash sessions, booking around the first birthday is perfect to celebrate this special milestone.
Do you provide the cake and props for the cake smash session?
Yes! At PhotoshotsbyMS, I provide all the props and decorations that perfectly match the white and airy style of my studio. I also offer a simple, clean cake for an additional $60. If you prefer, you’re welcome to bring your own special cake instead. I personally recommend local bakeries like Safeway and Seatown Sweets, which have beautiful cake smash cakes that photograph beautifully.
What should my baby wear for a milestone or cake smash session?
For milestone sessions, simple, soft-colored outfits work best to keep the focus on your baby’s natural beauty. Neutral tones and light fabrics complement the clean, airy studio style perfectly.
For cake smash sessions, choose outfits that are easy to change or remove since things can get messy. Lightweight, comfortable clothes or cute diaper covers work great. Bringing a spare outfit is always a good idea!
