Baby Milestone Portraits beautifully preserve the remarkable changes that take place during your baby's first year. From those early gummy smiles and curious expressions to sitting independently, crawling, and taking those first tentative steps, each stage marks a new chapter in their story. These portraits create a timeless record of a season that passes far more quickly than most parents ever expect.

Motherhood is the quiet grieving of all of the versions of them that you don’t get to keep. But the portraits remain — proof that you once held them just like this.

introducing
makin' babies grin since 2009.
A third generation photographer, I grew up in a home with beautiful, old black & white portraits lining our walls & filling our drawers. I think I've always loved faces, relationships & artistic storytelling because of it. After graduate school, I moved home, opened my portrait company and never looked back! I've been helping families to tell their love stories professionally for the last 16 years and for you, that means: reliable, consistent, quality work, every time!
about Brittany
FEATURED in:
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
"Brittany is such a wonderful photographer!! I first met her when she did my maternity shoot and was so pleased with those that I hired her to do our newborn photos and milestone photos for our little boy. She is such a pleasure to work with and we are always so thrilled with her photos! I will treasure these forever!"
WE HAD THE BEST EXPERIENCE!"
"Brittany is absolutely amazing!!! We couldn't be happier with our baby's milestone portraits. Brittany has such a natural way with little ones and somehow always manages to capture their personality, even when they're on their own schedule. The entire experience was effortless—from the beautiful studio and thoughtful planning to the final images. Looking through our gallery, I couldn't believe how much our little one had changed in just a few short months. These portraits are something we'll treasure forever, and we're already looking forward to our next milestone session.
WOW! I'M ABSOLUTELY SPEECHLESS.
"If you’re looking for a photographer for your baby photos, look no further! Brittany is your girl! Brittany did my newborn session and recently our baby's first birthday and I was blown away by her patience, especially when my baby decided she no longer wanted to participate in the shoot halfway through! I appreciated the fact that Brittany never made us feel rushed and the resulting photos were perfect. We will definitely use Holy City Babies for future milestones!"

Frequently Asked Questions
when should i book my baby's MILESTONE session?
I can only accept a maximum of 5 children for Milestone Portraits at the studio each month (in addition to the other types of sessions that I shoot there.) Because of this, my availability is limited and I would encourage you to book your Milestone and/or Cake Smash Photoshoot as soon as possible. Most parents book their child's Milestone Sessions in advance for either 3/4, 6/7, 9/10 months and 1st Birthday. I also have a Grow with Me Collection that you can purchase which is 3,6,9,12 scheduled all at once! My shoot calendar fills up quickly. It is important to schedule as soon as possible to ensure my availability your baby's Milestone Portraits!
what does my baby need to wear for their milestone photos?
Most parents already have something in mind that they would like their children to wear for their Milestone Portrait Session. If you have no idea what you want your child to wear for this portrait session, you're in luck!
I have a client closet for babies with sitter sizing up to 18 months. We can discuss your ideas for this session and I can either help guide you in selecting wardrobe for your baby's Milestone Session OR you can borrow something from my client closet!
HOW LONG UNTIL WE SEE PROOFS?
Your Baby's Milestone Portrait Session Proofs will be delivered within 7 days of your Baby's Portrait Session. You can either schedule an in-person ordering appointment at the studio or I can deliver an online proof gallery if that's easier for your family!
when should we shoot our baby milestone portraits?
I recommend scheduling your Baby's Milestone Portrait Sessions at intervals of 3 months (when they start smiling at you!), 5-7 months (when they've discovered their feet), 7-10 months (when they're sitting up, crawling, chonky & smiley) and of course the 1st Birthday / Cake Smash Session!
not the right time for you?
where do we shoot?
Milestone Portraits in Charleston happen either at my Photography Studio (Holy City Babies) located in the Avondale neighborhood of Charleston at 1020 Savannah Hwy OR we can shoot them outdoors / on-location in Charleston!
