You’ve scheduled your maternity and newborn photos—so what comes next?
Your baby’s first year is packed with exciting little milestones: rolling over, touching toes, sitting up, crawling, standing, walking… the list goes on. These changes happen so quickly, and the best way to hold onto them is through milestone sessions that create keepsakes of your baby’s biggest achievements.
Many families like to schedule sessions around 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, but every baby is different! We’ll choose timing that works best for your little one.

Sweet Baby B was all smiles during her Portland First Birthday Cake Smash Session!
Her parents requested we focus just on their baby girl, so we kept the spotlight on her while still capturing plenty of variety. She had the best time digging into her cake, and it was such a joy to document this fun (and messy!) milestone in the studio.

This Portland First Birthday Cake Smash Session with Baby I was such a joy!
I love that we got some images with both kids and the cake for this special session. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing this family since older brother’s newborn session, and it’s always a treat to capture their growing little ones.

This Portland Baby Sitter Session with Baby M was full of smiles and sweet moments!
Mom joined the fun, and we were able to capture both tender interactions and solo portraits of Baby M. His gummy smile stole the show and made this session so memorable.

The Mileestone Experience
Your baby is only going to be this little once. Their milestones—sitting up, first giggles, first bites of cake—happen so quickly, and these moments are just as fleeting as those newborn days. Those sweet gummy smiles, tiny hands exploring the world, and the spark of personality that shines through during each milestone deserve to be documented beautifully. I’m here to help you preserve these memories with images you’ll treasure for years to come.
I’ll guide you through every step of your milestone session, making it stress-free and joyful. After booking, you’ll receive a session prep guide, a style board to inspire outfits for your whole family, and access to my fabulous hair and makeup artist to help you feel pampered on the day of your session. You get to relax, have fun, and fully enjoy these special moments with your baby—while I document them for you in timeless, heartfelt images.

Ashlie has photographed my family twice now, and we are absolutely in love with all of our photos. We did a studio newborn session with my son, and then recently did a family outdoor session.
Her photographs are so beautiful and timeless. These are memories we are thankful to have. We can’t wait to work with her for family sessions every year.
newborn Session
Ashlie was wonderful and really put our whole family at ease. She was so great with our toddler son and kept him smiling throughout the whole shoot.
We absolutely love the photos too!
maternity Session
Our family has had a few sessions with with Ashlie. We have had nothing but great experiences, and will continue to work with her.
She makes the entire process so easy, our kids absolutely love her, and she never fails to get excellent shots of our family. Her attention to detail is not only reflected in the photos but also in the relationships she creates.
family Session
Ashlie did an amazing job with our winter family photos. She helped wrangle my two energetic girls (ages 4 & 7) and made the whole process fun and enjoyable.
She even had goodie bags for the kids which was a great way to motivate them to cooperate during the session :) I would absolutely book photos with her again!
family Session
A bucket list moment! I am going to cherish these memories for a lifetime. Ashlie was kind, patient, great with my toddler and newborn. She gave good directions on what looks good in a photo, and delivered awesome photos for us. I am very happy with our overall experience with Ashlie. I highly recommend!
Maternity Session
Ashlie is the best! She is amazing at capturing kiddos & I love her clean style. Can’t wait for future sessions with her :)
family Session
I was happy to get a fall photo session with my family. Ashlie is easy to work with and understanding of the complexities of working with toddlers. When I forgot my daughters outfit she had ideas and props to mitigate the problem, We had a great experience!
