First birthday photos at HOME in Phoenix? Yes, please!

Okay, picture this.

Your baby girl wakes up from her nap, calm and rested. You slip her into the cutest purple dress (bonus points if you’re twinning—because why not?), and instead of scrambling to get out the door, you just… walk into your living room.

That’s where the magic happens. A full professional photo setup—lighting, backdrop, all the good stuff—is already there, ready to go. No diaper bag. No car seat battles. No rushing around.

Just a relaxed, cozy milestone session right at home.

Aislyn’s One Year Session Was the Sweetest

Baby Aislyn recently turned one, and her milestone session was quiet and beautiful. She wasn’t all giggles and grins—and that was totally okay. She had this calm, curious presence, and those serious little expressions? Pure gold.

Not every baby is a smile machine, especially during a big milestone like this. Sometimes, the most meaningful photos are the still, thoughtful ones. The way they look at you. The way they gently hold their dress. The way they just are.

Here’s Why In-Home Sessions Just Work

Let’s be real: getting one year photos done can be a whole thing. Packing the diaper bag, making sure baby naps on time, crossing your fingers they don’t lose it in the car seat… it’s a lot.

With an in-home milestone session, all of that goes out the window. I bring the backdrop and lighting to you, set everything up in your living room (or wherever we get the most space), and we take our time. Outfit changes are easy, snack breaks are no big deal, and your baby gets to stay in their happy place.

Plus, these sessions aren’t just about the baby. We always sneak in a few sweet family moments, too—because let’s face it, you’ve all made it through year one together.

What It Looked Like for Aislyn

• Simple, clean setup right in her living room

• A calm baby who was able to ease into the session at her own pace

• Beautiful professional lighting, without having to leave home

• A family who matched and snuggled and made the whole thing even sweeter

  
  

It wasn’t loud or over-the-top. It was real, relaxed, and full of quiet moments that matter.
