Turning Milestones into Memories
From those tiny baby toes to big kid grins, tween giggles, and teens on the brink of adulthood—these are the moments that make up your family’s story. Whether your little one is graduating from kindergarten, rocking their first missing tooth, hitting double digits, or preparing to toss their high school cap in the air, you’ll find a session that captures it all right here.

Meet your Halton Hills Milestone Photographer.
Hey Families,
I'm Trayc and I would love to capture these precious moments for you, whether in my studio or on my private 2.5-acre property. During our session, we’ll play, be silly, and share plenty of laughter!
Milestone sessions focus primarily on your child but can include one family portrait. My goal as your milestone photographer is to create stunning portraits while making the experience fun and memorable for your child of any age.
Sitter Session!
These sessions are perfect for capturing special stages in your child’s life—whether it's when they first start sitting unassisted (typically around 5–7 months), a first birthday celebration, or simply to document this fleeting moment in time. This is a wonderful opportunity to preserve their transformation from newborn to baby, and of course, capture those adorable bare-bottom portraits—you know, the ones you can keep as future leverage 😉
Birthday Session!
Turning 1, 2, 3...Let's Celebrate!
There’s something truly magical about watching your little one grow—and what better way to mark each trip around the sun than with a fun and joyful birthday milestone session?
While the 1st birthday and cake smash sessions have become a beloved tradition for many families, the celebration doesn’t have to stop there! In recent years, more and more parents are choosing to continue the tradition by capturing ages 2, 3, and beyond—and I absolutely love it!
Each year brings new personality, new expressions, and new quirks that deserve to be documented. Whether your toddler is going “2 Wild,” stepping into their “Threenager” era, or stomping through a “Three-Rex” themed shoot—these moments are full of energy, laughter, and character. And of course, we can’t forget about the fan-favorite “Donut Grow Up” for sweet little ones with a love for sprinkles!
Not a fan of themes? No problem at all! Birthday sessions don’t need a theme or a cake to be meaningful. A clean, classic session focused on your child’s personality and stage of life can be just as magical. It’s all about celebrating them—their silly faces, their proud new milestones, and all the joy they bring to your world.
These sessions are more than just a photo op—they’re a beautiful tradition to start. Year after year, you’ll build a collection of images that tell the story of your child growing up—each one capturing the wonder of who they are right now.
Ready to start the tradition (or keep it going)? Let’s plan a session that’s full of fun, giggles, and memories you’ll treasure forever.
Cake Smash Session
Let's Get Messy!
A cake smash session is such a fun and creative way to celebrate your little one’s first birthday! We’ll start with portraits using up to two different backdrops and outfit changes before diving into the cake smash.
Whether your child loves the cake or wants nothing to do with it—I’ll capture every moment! My goal is to bring out all the emotions and create beautiful images that you’ll cherish as they grow. Sessions can take place in the studio, outdoors, or a mix of both if the weather allows. A family portrait can also be included, but the main focus will be on your little one.
Rub-a-dub-dub… we can end the session with a fun, playful bath in a vintage water basin!
Cake smash sessions are always unpredictable—some kids dive right in, while others are more hesitant—but no matter how they react, it’s always a memorable experience!
These sessions are best booked when your child is between 10 and 11 months old and include access to backdrops, wardrobe, and props. Your custom cake will be designed to complement the outfit or theme we choose.
The session begins with classic portraits on two different backdrops before we let the cake fun begin! You’re welcome to bring your own outfits, or you can choose from the timeless wardrobe options available in the studio. If you’re providing your own outfit, the cake design will be tailored to match.
Children, Tweens & Teens!
These portrait sessions for your not so little baby! Children, tweens and teenagers are designed to capture the vibrant energy and unique personality that emerge during these formative years. Ideally scheduled when your child is between the ages of 6 and 18, these sessions provide a creative space to celebrate this exciting stage of life. Each session offers access to a variety of backdrops, wardrobe options, and props, ensuring that every portrait reflects your child's evolving style.
Did you know that professional photography can actually boost your child’s self-esteem?
A 2024 study found that when tweens and teens have professional portraits taken, it can have a real, positive impact on how they see themselves. Not the usual phone selfies—but images that are just about them. Thoughtfully lit, beautifully composed photos that celebrate who they are in this moment.
Over the years, I’ve seen this firsthand—not just with my own kids, but with their friends too. I can’t tell you how many times a friend would come over, look at the portraits on our walls, and say something like, “These are so cool—I wish I had pictures like that of me.” Those comments always stuck with me. Because it’s not just about the photo—it’s about feeling seen, celebrated, and confident.
That’s what I aim to give every child and teen I photograph. A chance to feel proud of who they are, and a reminder every time they walk past that photo on the wall: “I matter. I’m enough. And I’m amazing just as I am.”
Graduation
Whether it’s kindergarten, middle school, high school, or college, each stage of your child’s journey is unique and worth capturing. A graduation portrait session is more than just photos in a cap and gown (though yes, we’ll do those too!). It’s about freezing time and celebrating who they are right now—their personality, their accomplishments, and all the excitement for what’s next.
Sessions include portraits with and without the cap and gown, so you’ll have a beautiful variety—from classic, timeless images to relaxed, joyful ones that show off their true spirit.
Graduation isn’t just a milestone—it’s a moment worth celebrating, remembering, and proudly displaying.
First Communion
Your child’s First Communion is a sacred milestone — a beautiful moment in their faith journey that deserves to be cherished and remembered for generations. It’s a day filled with pride, tradition, and heartfelt emotion. From the glow in their eyes to the delicate details of their attire, every element of this day tells a story worth preserving.
As a seasoned portrait photographer with years of experience working with children and families, I understand how to create a calm, respectful, and joyful space that allows your child’s personality to shine. With a keen eye for light, detail, and emotion, I specialize in crafting heirloom-quality portraits that capture both the reverence and innocence of this special occasion.
Whether you’re looking for timeless studio portraits or a soft, natural outdoor session, I’ll guide you every step of the way — from wardrobe tips to posing, and everything in between. My goal is to create a collection of images that not only celebrate this sacred milestone but also reflect the love and pride surrounding your child on this unforgettable day.
Because moments like these only happen once.
Let’s make them unforgettable.
