As a parent, I know how quickly your child changes. Those first years fly by in a blur of milestones, smiles, and personality. It’s easy to miss the precious details in the rush of daily life, which is why capturing these moments is so important.

While phone photos are great for everyday memories, they can’t capture the depth or essence of your child’s growth. Professional photos preserve the sparkle in their eyes, their unique personality, and the details that change so quickly.

As a Springfield, MO milestone and kids photographer, I’ll help you freeze these fleeting moments and create timeless photos that will become cherished family memories for years to come. Your child’s first year is too precious to let slip by—let’s preserve it beautifully.

The milestone Experience

They go from sitting to standing.  From babbling to full-blown opinions.  From baby curls to big kid confidence.

These aren’t “just” kid's milestone photos.  They’re your chance to bottle up the magic of who they are right now.

Because in six months, they’ll look different.  In a year, they’ll be different.  And this version of them? You’ll miss it more than you know.

Milestone sessions capture the little things you think you’ll remember, but never quite do:

The crooked teeth, the wild curls, the dimples  The way they say “lellow” instead of yellow  The confidence in their eyes as they blow out the candles

This isn’t just a photo shoot.  It’s a memory you’ll return to every time you miss this stage of their life.

Investment Details

We’ve done several sessions with Jessica, including her Bump to Baby bundle, and every one has been amazing. She’s so playful and fun with the kids—they had a blast, and it showed in their real, joyful smiles.

The client closet made outfits so easy, and her one-on-one help took all the stress off my plate. From planning to final gallery, she makes everything effortless. Her turnaround time is fast, and the images are always stunning.

Jessica doesn’t just take pictures—she captures the heart of each season in the most beautiful way. We’ll treasure these forever.

Jessica was so much fun to work with! We did a milestone shoot with her and she was making my son smile when he was starting to get upset. She got the sweetest pics of him for us to cherish forever.

Kelsey & Derek

I was amazed by Jessica! Her pictures speak for themselves but she was so kind, patient, and complimentary! Having three kids under the age of 5 it’s not easy to keep them interested and entertained but she had them smiling the whole time!  Jessica also was amazing at communication with styling of outfits and delivery of images! I can’t wait to have another session with her!

Jessica & Matthew

Jessica showed the patience, kindness, and creativity we needed! In the time we had, she was able to capture the love, fun, and smiles of each family member. She does an amazing job at capturing candid moments, which are my personal favorite. She allowed my child to play and be himself and worked with us to make real life into photos that we can treasure forever. I am so grateful she was able to capture us so well and deliver such beautiful pictures. She is truly talented!
