Where Milestones Meet Magic

A Guide to Your Little Ones Milestone Session

At Infinity & Beyond Photography, milestone and cake-smash sessions are created to celebrate your little one’s growing personality and joyful spirit. Every session is designed to feel playful, relaxed, and personal, with gentle guidance to capture the natural smiles, curiosity, and sweet moments that make this stage so special.

From sitting up to smashing their first cake, each image is captured with intention, preserving the memories of this extraordinary time in your child’s life.

Your Milestone & Cake Smash Journey

Where The Magic Happens

All of our milestone and cake-smash sessions take place in our studio, located in the heart of Estevan, Saskatchewan, a space designed for creativity, comfort, and unforgettable memories. From a variety of themed sets, props, and outfits to custom balloon banners, the studio is where every detail comes together to bring your vision to life.

Whether we are capturing your little one’s first sitter milestone, a joyful cake-smash, or a bountiful bubble session that follows, the studio is the heart of it all, where playful moments, timeless portraits, and magical memories are created with care and intention.

Timing Your Session

If you are planning a cake-smash or one-year session, I generally recommend booking when your little one is 9 to 10 months old to ensure you secure a spot with me. Cake-smash sessions are typically photographed about two weeks before your child’s birthday, which allows time for at least some images to be delivered so you can share them on their special day if you wish.

For early milestone sessions (3,6 0r 9 months), I suggest booking as soon as possible, as sessions are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis due to limited availability. This helps ensure you get the perfect date for your little one’s special moments

Styling Your Little One

When you book a milestone or cake-smash session with me, everything is included, including the outfits your child will wear. Typically, we use two to three outfits during the session: one for casual, everyday photos, one for the cake-smash, and sometimes a special outfit you may bring for sentimental reasons. If you have any preferred colors or themes, let me know in advance so I can select outfits and accessories that perfectly match your vision.

My goal is to create a cohesive, beautiful look that highlights your little one’s personality and brings your session to life.

While Your Session Unfolds

Your session will last approximately 60 minutes, giving us plenty of time to capture your little one’s personality and milestones. We will use a variety of props, sets, and outfits to highlight what makes your child unique. Before your session, we’ll discuss your ideas, goals, and preferred themes so that every detail can be customized to your vision. You are also welcome to bring any special items you would like included, such as a beloved stuffed animal, toy, or keepsake.

For cake-smash sessions, we begin with a portrait-style segment, using props and different sets to capture beautiful, timeless images. Then we move into the cake-smash portion, where your little one enjoys their cake while I capture all the laughter, silliness, and messy fun. Finally, many families love finishing with a bubble bath session, where your child can splash and play in a comfortably warm bath, creating adorable, candid moments while getting cleaned up.

For milestone-only sessions, which differ from sake smash sessions, we focus on a variety of poses and sets, all fully customizable to your preferred themes, colors, and ideas. Everything is planned ahead of time so that your session is seamless, stress-free, and exactly how you’ve imagined it.

Although milestone sessions are typically offered at 3 and 9 months, I strongly recommend scheduling your session once your child can sit unassisted, usually around 6 months. This allows for greater versatility with different sets, poses, and capturing your child’s unique personality.

Your Cake Smash Essentials

Please bring the following items for your toddler: (CAKE SMASH ONLY)

• A sippy cup of water.

• A small snack they love (fish crackers, puffs, fruit snacks...).

• A towel.

• A regular body wash or soap (please make sure you bring one that you regularly use so that we don't have to worry about unexpected allergies).

• A change of clothes for your child and YOU in case of any accidental spills or cake messes that may happen!

Inside Your Proofing Gallery

After your session, I begin the careful process of preparing your proofing gallery. This gallery is a curated collection of unedited or very lightly edited preview images that gives you an early look at the beautiful variety we created together. Each image is presented in a clean, easy to navigate format so you can view them at your own pace and choose the ones that speak to you the most.

To help you envision your final artwork, two to three images in your proofing gallery will be fully edited. These completed samples show you the exact level of refinement, detail, and quality you can expect in your final gallery. They serve as a visual reference, allowing you to feel confident and excited about your selections.

Your proofing gallery will arrive within seven days of your session, along with simple instructions on how to make your selections. You will also receive a sneak peek within 48 hours so you can enjoy a preview while the full gallery is being prepared.

Your Final Gallery 

Your curated gallery is a joyful collection of expertly edited images, crafted with care to celebrate your child’s milestones and unique personality. Delivered within three weeks of final invoice payment, your gallery features your chosen favorites from the proofing collection, transformed into a cohesive and timeless visual story.

Your images are presented in a secure, online gallery that offers a sophisticated and user-friendly viewing experience. From here, you can order premium-quality prints, download high-resolution files to any device, and easily share these treasured moments with family and friends or on social media.

This gallery is more than just a delivery tool; it is a lasting keepsake that captures the magic of your child’s growth and milestones, intentionally preserved for you to enjoy for years to come.
