Milestone Mini Sessions are one of my most popular photography offerings—and this session is the perfect example of why.

This Milestone Mini Session in Western Minnesota was created to capture updated portraits of Thomas and his big sister Charlotte. Mom wanted something classic, clean, and timeless, so we chose a simple white studio backdrop that keeps the focus exactly where it belongs—on connection, expressions, and the tiny details that change far too fast.

Thomas wore the cutest pair of OshKosh jean overalls, and let me tell you—this little guy absolutely stole the show. Between his expressions, those baby details, and his natural personality, every image turned out incredibly sweet. These are the kinds of portraits that never go out of style and look just as beautiful framed on a wall as they do in an album. During this session, we captured:

  • Individual milestone portraits of Thomas
  • Sibling portraits with big sister Charlotte
  • Natural, candid moments
  • Individual portraits of Charlotte as well


Milestone Mini Sessions are designed to be short, relaxed, and kid-friendly, which makes them perfect for families with young children. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, updating family photos, or simply wanting fresh portraits, these sessions deliver beautiful results without the pressure of a full-length session.
