Milestone Plan
We're thrilled to announce an amazing special that is currently ongoing! There are few things that can change your life as much as a new baby. For new parents, it's remarkable how quickly your little bundle of joy grows and develops during the first year of their life. From a wrinkly newborn to a mobile toddler, their journey is truly incredible. That's why we want to capture all of your baby's milestones during the first year, and that's exactly what this plan does!
milestone sessions
There are so many milestones that your little one will conquer in their first year. The Milestone Plan captures these milestones in beautiful professional portraiture, creating amazingly vivid and unique works of art from every session. Below are the main Milestone Sessions that make up our plan.
Maternity Session
This session occurs between 32-38 weeks of gestation. As a special offer, you will receive a digital download from this session with full print release as a welcoming gift.
sit-up session
The sit-up session usually takes place around 6-8 months old. Of course, we want the little one to sit up by themselves successfully.
newborn session
The newborn session takes place between 7-14 days old at our studio in Hixson, TN. Family is welcomed and encouraged to participate in the newborn session.
Pull-up session
The pull-up session takes place when the little one is pulling themselves up to a standing position but isn’t quite walking yet.
Push-Up session
This session usually takes place around 3-5 months. We are looking for the baby to be able to push up off their belly successfully and happily doing it.
smash cake session
We end the year with a smash cake session that showcases your little one diving into a birthday cake making a huge mess.
Other Sessions Included in the Plan
Along with the Milestone sessions, there are a wide variety of other portrait opportunities available, such as family photo sessions and mini sessions that we hold regularly throughout the year. Each of these session fees is conveniently covered under the Milestone Plan, which helps create the perfect year of cherished memories for the newest member of your family. These diverse options ensure that you can capture precious moments as your little one grows. Below are some examples from the session offerings.

the album
At the end of the year, you get to go through all the images taken of your baby and family and pick out your favorites to be arranged and printed into a coffee table album that showcases the growth of your little one through their first year. You are very hands-on with the development and design of the album and get two revisions to ensure that your book is just right. This album will be treasured for years to come!!! Check out one of our albums we created below.
benefits of being a plan member
When you join our Milestone or SmileSavers Plan, you have a concierge photographer in your back pocket. We are there whenever you need us for any shoot that your heart desires. Here are some of the benefits that you can expect when joining one of our plans:
Familiarity- Every baby experiences what we refer to as "stranger danger," meaning they may not feel at ease around unfamiliar individuals. When they visit our studio, they begin to see us as a family or a playful friend, and the more they visit, the more they smile. And the better they smile, the better the pictures turn out.
Session Fees- Plan Members never pay session fees except for Santa, (that’s his money). But every other milestone or mini-session that we offer are covered under the plan membership. As a plan member, we will give you discount codes to take the session fee off when choosing your time or event, but most of the time a text or a call is the easiest way to book your fee-free sessions.
Discounts- The biggest advantage of being a plan member is the discounts that you will receive on both digital and physical products. Digital is discounted over 50% off if you choose to purchase the digital collection on our infinity gallery. Albums and Wall Art also get a 15% discount for all plan members. Depending on how many sessions you attend throughout the year, this benefit can save you thousands.
Peace of Mind- Unfortunately, we've heard horror stories about people paying a photographer, only to receive the runaround when trying to get their pictures. In one case, a young mother lost all the newborn pictures of her little one in the hospital because she hired the wrong photographer. Matt and Shea have been photographing in the Chattanooga area for over 20 years. They have a physical studio, so you can be assured they're not going anywhere. Both Shea and Matt are formally trained in newborn photography, and our business is legal and insured. With over 40,000 followers on Facebook, we aim to be extremely available to our clients and assure you that we're here to stay.
