Milestone and motherhood sessions generally take place outside or in my studio, but I am always down for a tub or sink session instead.

Babies change so much over the course of their first year; from a tiny newborn to a teetering twelve month old, it’s hard to believe how little time actually passed! Milestone sessions are a perfect way to preserve their youngest days. Milestone sessions are named for the milestones that babies reach throughout their first year; tummy time at three months, sitting up at six months, crawling at nine months, and standing (or walking!) at one year.
Most parents choose “sitter sessions” (around six months) and first birthday sessions, but any age in between is welcome! Because I love photographing parents with their children, you are always welcome to step in the frame with your little one. Milestone sessions take place in my Philadelphia area photography studio and focus on what you love best about your little one: chubby feet, a toothless grin, soft peaks of hair falling across her forehead…
I provide all the blankets, diaper covers, wraps, and bonnets for milestone sessions; with hundreds of options for little ones, there’s no need to worry about what baby will wear for their session. Milestone sessions take place in my beautiful 1400sf natural-light commercial photography studio; it’s a temperature controlled, safe, clean space for babies to crawl around and explore.

Figuring out what to wear can be one of the most stressful parts of a photography session. Whether you’re looking for the perfect maternity dress or deciding what big brother will wear, browsing website after website to find the perfect outfit can be time consuming, challenging, and expensive.
All Veronika Paluch Photography clients have access to the studio wardrobe, which is chock full of gorgeous gowns, and the sweetest outfits for children up to size ten. Not only can you be sure that your images will be timeless and cohesive, you’ll also be wearing garments that photograph beautifully – and there’s no need to purchase anything!
