Los Angeles Baby Photography
Celebrate your baby's unique personality and milestones with our Milestone (Sitter) Sessions! These sessions capture those precious moments as your little one learns to sit, crawl, and explore the world around them. From gummy smiles to adorable toe-grabbing, these portraits freeze those fleeting moments that remind us of how quickly they're growing.
Available at 3 months, 6 months, and 9 months, these sessions are a beautiful visual reminder of just how little your baby once was.
And when it's time for their 1st-year celebration, we have cake smashes! What's a cake smash, you ask? It's simple: decorations, cake, and baby! The session includes family portraits, the cake smash itself, and even a bubbly bubble bath for a variety of adorable and fun memories to cherish.
We provide everything you need for the session, including decorations, outfits, and a professionally-baked cake. It's a messy, fun, and absolutely adorable process that captures your baby's personality perfectly!
Unlike Newborn Sessions, which are calm and quiet, Milestones & Cake Smashes are loud, fast-paced, and all about capturing those funny expressions and big smiles!
Siblings and parents are more than welcome to join in the fun—this is a momentous occasion for the whole family to celebrate together! Let's create some unforgettable memories!

“To put it simply Lily is an artist.”
She is incredible with babies and possesses the photography talents to capture their special moments. I take plenty of pictures on my phone for my little one but none of it can capture the emotions and expressions that Lily has been able to capture in that millisecond that it happens. Her little studio is also really cute, she has many props, snacks for parents and a diaper station which was super useful. I would give her more than 5 stars if I could!
— Sophie & Brian
“Lily is truly such a talented photographer! She had initially photographed my maternity photos and I LOVED THEM so much!!!! I had discussed with her my vision for my maternity shots and she brought that vision and dream to life!!!
She went above and beyond before, during and after the shoot to make sure it was exactly the look I had in mind. There were a lot of “vulnerable” and some what exposed looks that I wanted and she made me feel so so comfortable the whole time.
— Vina & RICH
“Lily had so many CREATIVE IDEAS and poses up her sleeve but at the same time was very open to our input on certain poses we’d like to capture with his individual photos and pictures with our little family of ours.
When you hire Lily to do your newborn shoot, you won’t just get your basic photoshoot, but rather an all-encompassing experience that allows you to really treasure this special time of transition with your newborn. We’re so happy we decided to do this photoshoot with Lily
— Kirsten & Gerrick
So, if you're ready for this thing... to CAPTURE the ESSENCE of motherhood
then this service is a great fit for you.
