Wow, wow, WOW! Anne is so talented and such a joy to work with! She was flexible, understanding, and SO good with all 3 of my children--especially the 2 year old that cried the entire shoot. We got our photos back and you would never even know there were tears. Can't wait to hang these portraits

FAqs as a Colorado springs Milestone Photographer
Q: When should I schedule a milestone photography session?
A: Milestone sessions are typically scheduled during your baby’s first year to celebrate key stages of growth. The most popular ages include:
3–4 months – when baby starts holding their head up and showing expressive smiles
6–8 months – the sitter stage, when your baby can sit unassisted but isn’t crawling yet
12 months – the first birthday, often celebrated with a cake smash and bathtub portraits
Q: How long does a children’s photography session last?
A: Children’s sessions are designed to be efficient yet thoughtful, typically lasting between around 60 minutes, depending on the child’s age and comfort level.
We understand that little ones have short attention spans, so our goal is to work quickly while still allowing plenty of time for your child to warm up and feel comfortable in the studio. We never rush the experience—we gently guide your child with patience and care, giving them the space to settle in and express their personality naturally.

A: Absolutely! At Anne Holzem Photography, we love including parents and siblings in milestone or children’s sessions. These moments are not just about capturing your child—they’re about celebrating the love, connection, and story of your family.
Q: How much does a milestone session cost?
A: Please reach out for my full investment guide and to chat uniquely about your session. After all, your portrait session is unique to you and what you are wanting for your photographs and how you want to preserve them.
Q: Do you provide props and outfits for children’s photography sessions?
A: Yes, we do! At Anne Holzem Photography, we offer a large selection of beautiful props and high-quality outfits for your child’s session. From timeless pieces and soft textures to elegant, styled accessories, everything is thoughtfully chosen to complement our fine art aesthetic.
Q: What happens if my child doesn’t cooperate during the session?
A: No need to worry—this is completely normal, and we’re fully prepared for it! We work with children of all ages and understand that they may need time to adjust, explore, or simply take a break. We approach each session with patience, flexibility, and a gentle touch, creating a calm and welcoming environment where your child can feel comfortable.
