Baby Milestone Photo Experience - One Year Birthday, Cake Smash and Six-Month Sitters - Westchester, NY
THEY CHANGE SO QUICKLY, AND YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS ANY OF IT
Milestone sessions that capture who they are right now, before it changes again.
The tiny teeth. The proud little clap when they do something new. The way they press their face into your shoulder when they’re tired. This stage moves fast, but inside this session, we pause just long enough to keep it.
A SESSION THAT HOLDS ONTO WHO THEY ARE, RIGHT NOW.
Every detail is guided — from what they wear to how we keep them happy and curious. Whether they’re sitting up for the first time or running off in all directions, we’ll meet them exactly where they are.
So you can come back to this moment long after it’s passed.
"My job is to help you remember what this season felt like, not just how it looked."
I'm Caitlin, your Westchester, NY Milestone Photographer
Every detail is here just for you
We begin with a conversation
Before anything is booked, we’ll start with a relaxed phone call. You can share what you’re hoping to capture, ask questions, and I’ll walk you through the process. From there, we’ll schedule and plan your session, whether it’s a milestone, a birthday, or simply the stage they’re in right now. Everything is thoughtfully tailored so the session feels easy, natural, and right for your little one.
Your session day
When it’s time for your session, everything is ready. The studio is quiet, prepared, and distraction-free, so you can focus on your child. I’ll guide you through every part, so you’re not guessing what to do or how to help. You get to watch them laugh, reach, explore, and take in every bit of who they are right now.
Seeing everything come together
This is when your artwork becomes part of your home. Whether it’s on the wall or your coffee table, these pieces bring you back to their gap-toothed grin, the way their hair curled behind their ears, the tiny hands that reached only for you, moments you’ll get to see and feel again, every single day.

"Caitlin made our entire experience absolutely seamless and joyful"
She was incredibly patient and warm with my daughter, capturing the most precious moments of her one-year and cake smash session. Caitlin also kindly accommodated my request to receive a couple of the prints early so that I could display them at my little one’s 1st birthday party! The photos are beyond stunning, and I will cherish them forever!

Cake Smash photo session in Westchester
A first birthday is more than a cake
It’s also giggles and frosting-covered fingers
A cake smash session is a playful way to celebrate your baby turning one. We start with simple portraits, a favorite outfit, a few smiles, a chance to warm up. Then the cake comes out. Maybe they poke it slowly. Maybe they dig right in. Frosting ends up between their fingers, on their toes, sometimes even in their hair. You don’t have to plan, pose, or direct, everything is set up and gently guided so you can just watch it happen.
Sitter session in Westchester
Six months, and suddenly they’re sitting up
And you’re torn between pride and longing.
A sitter session is all about capturing this short, beautiful season when your baby first sits tall on their own. We’ll start with simple portraits—soft blankets, favorite outfits, maybe a cherished toy. From there, it’s about their personality: the wobbles, the gummy grins, the way their hands reach for everything within sight. Everything is gently guided so you can simply watch them shine in this fleeting stage.
Your Milestone session
We’ll plan everything together so you know exactly what to expect. Whether we’re in the studio or outdoors, the session is calm, guided, and focused on you. This is about more than just photos, it’s about marking this moment, and creating something that helps you remember how it felt to be here, becoming their mother.
