I recently captured a beautiful in-home milestone session in Park City, Utah, and I’m absolutely in love with the results! These images tell the story of how this family has grown together in just a few short months and milestone sessions are some of my favorite moments to photograph as they preserve and highlight all the ways your little one is growing and changing.

If you’re in the Northern Utah area, my Baby’s First Year Membership makes it easy to preserve these memories with a special rate for a full year of documenting every beautiful fleeting stage they’re in. These heartfelt photos will become cherished memories, growing more precious with each passing moment of your baby’s journey.

Photographing this family was such a joy, and their home was the perfect location for this session. If you’re wondering where to hold your next milestone session, here are a few reasons why your home might be the ideal choice:

1. It’s Comfortable and Familiar for Baby

Babies thrive in familiar surroundings. An in-home session means your little one is in a space they already know and love. Whether it’s playing with their favorite toys or snuggling on the couch with you, this comfort helps create natural, heartfelt photos. As a seasoned baby photographer, I bring techniques to make everyone feel at ease, but choosing your home can give us a head start.

2. It’s a Relaxed Space for Parents

Forget the hassle of packing bags with extra outfits, snacks, and toys. During an in-home session, everything you need is just steps away. If baby needs a wardrobe change, the whole closet is available. Hungry? You’ve got your kitchen at hand. And because there’s no driving involved, you have a little extra time to get ready, ensuring everyone stays on schedule—especially when it comes to naps!

3. It’s a Meaningful Location

Your home holds so many special memories, making it the perfect backdrop for photos that tell your unique story. From cozy nooks to sentimental keepsakes, we can incorporate those personal details into your session. This family’s light-filled home—with its dreamy neutral tones and stunning white countertops—added an extra layer of beauty to their photos. And seeing framed family photos in the background always makes my heart happy!

4. It’s Easy and Convenient

Home sessions are a lifesaver, especially when juggling unpredictable weather or keeping naptimes intact. You also won’t need to deal with strangers at an outdoor location or other families waiting at a studio. I bring all the professionalism of a private studio to the comfort and privacy of your home.

5. It’s a Great Reason to Declutter

As a mom of three, I know how tricky it is to keep a home tidy with little ones around. For in-home sessions, there’s no need to clean everything—just pick two or three bright, clutter-free spaces to focus on. If you’ve been needing an extra push to tidy up (and who doesn’t?), an in-home session is the perfect excuse.
