MORE THAN JUST A BIRTHDAY SESSION
At Laura Stansberry Photography, milestone and heirloom portraits are about more than capturing a cute smile or birthday balloon.
They’re about preserving a piece of childhood—who they are right now, in all their tiny quirks and quiet magic.
Whether it’s a cake-smeared grin, a favorite toy they won’t put down, or the timeless elegance of a formal heirloom portrait, these sessions are crafted with intention to celebrate your child exactly as they are.
Because one day, you’ll look back and realize these were the moments that mattered.
Hold On to Who They Are Right Now
Because the little things—tiny fingers, silly obsessions, bare feet—are the things you’ll miss the most.
Milestone and heirloom sessions are all about preserving the parts of childhood that feel fleeting but unforgettable. Whether it’s a cake smash to celebrate year one, a formal heirloom portrait in a timeless outfit, or a “My Favorite Things” session that captures their personality at full volume—this is your chance to slow time down just enough to remember it forever.
Not just because it’s beautiful, but because it’s a piece of their story.
This session is a celebration of your child exactly as they are—right now. From six-month sitters to birthday milestones and heirloom portraits, this is a chance to preserve the magic of childhood in a timeless and meaningful way.

“I wish I had a way to remember this exact stage—without relying on my phone camera.”
“I just want to capture something meaningful and timeless for their first birthday.”
“I don’t want to forget how their laugh sounds or how tiny they still are right now.”
“I just want one timeless portrait of them at this age—before she changes again.”
“I’ve been meaning to do a cake smash or birthday photo, but I don’t even know where to start.”
“I want something more meaningful than iPhone snapshots—something I can actually frame and pass down.”
THEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIT FOR YOU.
