Raleigh Milestone Photography
when the days are moving faster than you expected
This is how you hold on.
One day, you’ll miss the firsts you thought you’d always remember
The gummy smiles, the way they clapped for themselves, the wobble in their steps as they let go of your hand. These moments feel too big to forget, but they fade faster than you expect.
That’s why this matters.
Because this isn’t just about seeing how much they’ve grown, it’s about remembering who they were in that exact moment, and who you were too. The way you watched them with pride and wonder, already missing them as they changed right in front of you.
We spend so much on things that don’t last.
This is the one thing from this season you won’t have to let go of.
This season fades, but the way it felt doesn’t have to
because they’re growing faster
Than your heart can keep up
It’s easy to think, “I’ll remember this forever.”
But then the next stage arrives, and the one before it starts to blur.
You’re trying to soak it all in while life keeps moving. Feeling that tug, that quiet ache to hold onto something that’s already changing. These sessions aren’t just about milestones. They’re about capturing what it felt like when they still needed your lap, your arms, your voice.
You don’t have to hold it all in your memory.
This is how you hold onto the parts you’re not ready to let go of.
Meet Lindsey, your Raleigh Family Photographer
More than a session
It’s a full experience built around your little one’s biggest moments
A thoughtfully curated client wardrobe
No need to coordinate outfits or spend hours shopping. You’ll have access to timeless, flattering pieces for babies and toddlers, plus options for moms too. Everything is chosen to feel comfortable and look beautiful on camera.
Emotional support, not just photography
You don’t have to plan, pose, direct, or keep everything on track. There’s no pressure here. I’ll guide the flow, follow your child’s rhythm, and carry the weight of the details, so you can be fully present for the moment.
Artwork made for your home
These photos are meant to be seen and felt every day. Together, we’ll turn them into heirloom albums and custom-framed pieces that help you remember this stage, before it becomes part of the past.
Tell me what you’re dreaming of
Tell me what this season feels like for you, what you want to remember, what you’re afraid of forgetting. We’ll talk through it all and choose a time that works best for your family here in Raleigh.
Gentle guidance through every step
Planning that feels like a deep breath
Before your milestone session, we’ll connect for a consultation where I’ll help you plan every detail. From choosing a location to styling your little one, I’ll guide you through it all. You’ll also have access to my client wardrobe for babies and toddlers, with pieces that feel soft, timeless, and photograph beautifully. This is where everything starts to feel real, in the best way.
A session built around your family
We follow your little one’s rhythm. There’s space for movement, cuddles, curiosity, and everything in between. If they need time to warm up, they’ll have it. There’s no pressure to pose or get it “just right”, I’ll guide you gently so you can simply show up, be present, and soak in this moment before it passes.
The moment to see it all come to life
When your images are ready, we’ll sit down together in a virtual meeting. You’ll see your story for the first time, how it looked, how it felt. I’ll help you decide how you want to hold onto it, from framed pieces to heirloom albums.
Artwork you can hold, and come back to
Your chosen pieces will arrive ready to display, carefully wrapped and made to last. Not just files on a screen, but real memories from this stage, captured, preserved, and ready to live with you every day as your little one keeps growing.
When the session ends, something beautiful begins.
Memories kept in ways you can touch, hold, and return to whenever you need them most.
One session that holds so much
the milestone session that holds the moments you never want to lose
A milestone session is a chance to pause and celebrate who they are right now, before this stage becomes a blur. No rushing, no pressure, and no need to hold it all together. Just space to soak in the sweetness of how far they’ve come.
We’ll spend up to one hour (and more if needed), with room for play, connection, and quiet moments in between. When you arrive, everything’s already taken care of as we’ve talked through your vision, chosen the right setting, and selected outfits from the client wardrobe if you’d like to use it.
Whether we photograph in your home, outdoors, or in a studio, the session is designed to feel relaxed and intentional, centered around the pace of your little one and the beauty of this stage.
Afterward, you’ll view your images in a private gallery, and together we’ll turn them into something lasting, framed, bound, and ready to be lived with for years to come.
$250 creative fee
+ Most clients spend at least $850 on artwork and digital images following their session.
Love from my clients
"I'm so grateful for the photo when I was hugging my son and he rested his head on my shoulder. it was such a simple, sweet gesture that said everything without a word"

They won’t stay this little
But a photograph will remember what your heart can’t hold onto forever.
It will capture how it felt when their smile had no teeth, when they still reached for your hand, when their whole world fit in your arms.
This season moves fast, but what we create together will last. Long after the moment is gone, these photographs will bring you right back to the feeling of it all.
