Milestone sessions can be anything from a 6 month old session, 1 year old session (I also accept 30 years old or 85 years). Milestone sessions follow the same process as the other sessions.
The first step is to check my work and investment page to see if we are a great fit. After which we can talk about setting up a date. Sessions can be outdoors or indoors.
You can choose to do your Hamilton baby photography session in studio, in home or at your favourite outdoor location that holds meaning for the session.
book your session
I have photographed babies a month to as old as four months old and they are just as special. Aside from providing the wardrobe for mommas and babies, and a style guide for dads, as a Hamilton Baby Photographer, I also collaborate with you how to best prepare for photo day - around naptimes, busy schedules, etc.
On the day of your Hamilton Baby photography session, we take breaks as necessary. Please reserve up to two hours for newborn photo sessions. All immediate family are welcome to join.
After 3-4 weeks’ lead time, you will receive your gallery for the first time, and there you will order the products that make the most sense to you.

I’VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING WITH ERICKA TWICE. BOTH TIMES WORKING WITH ERICKA SHE WAS QUICK TO RESPOND TO MY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERED ANY CONCERNS THAT I HAD.
THE PROOFS WERE ALSO DELIVERED IN A VERY TIMELY MANNER. I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH ERICKA AGAIN IN THE NEAR FUTURE!
Ericka is pure MAGIC behind the camera and creates the most beautiful and sentimental photos!

At the same time, everything is SO beautiful because you now have the perfect little gift whom you watch over even when they are asleep.
So let me take care of the overwhelming parts and simplify photo day because it should be stress free and enjoyable. Have more time to snuggle your wee one some more. They will never be this small again. Ever.
As a Hamilton Baby Photographer, I provide a full service experience designed to take care of: wardrobe, how to best prepare for the session, and getting those digital files printed and displayed at home for everyone to enjoy together.
Mamas, I know you're busy. The average adult makes around 35,000 decisions each day but moms probably have double or triple than those numbers. Our minds never stop. This full service experience is meant to put your mind at ease so that the decisions you have to make will only be around 10K tops. Ha!
I get it. Postpartum life is hard. Newborn photos are probably the last thing on your mind. Everything is sore. Everything hurts. There are many things you have to do and not do. It is hectic.
SEND ME A NOTE
Once you have completed the contract and questionnaire, you are officially booked. We begin planning! I send you a wardrobe proposal and you let me know what you think. We plan for the location and time of day. For wardrobe, you have the option to pick them up from me a week before the session (Waterdown). Alternatively, I can bring the dresses on the day of the session.
We planned for this from wardrobe to location, to your kids' nap time. We got this. I bring prompts and play to the session. Consider it a yes day (unless it is dangerous).
We let the children be. You love on them. You go down to their level, engage with them. You try to enjoy it. Because when you do this again next time, they won't be this little anymore.
After 3-4 weeks, you will receive your gallery via a private link. All your photos come with a print release. You can download all your digital photos. You can print them yourself (I can recommend a professional lab) or you can print through me!
If you ordered an album or a wall art, you will receive them after 8-12 weeks after ordering. They can be picked up (Waterdown) or delivered to your home for everyone to enjoy!

I know how popular cake smashes are for 1 year old celebrations. I do offer one but with a classic approach to the session. I neither offer themed cake smash nor bring props. Usually cake smashes are done in the last 5-10 minutes of the session.
Your Hamilton baby photography session can be outdoor or indoor. For indoor sessions, it can be at home or in the studio. For outdoor sessions, we can discuss further our recommended parks that we know photograph beautifully or a park that holds meaning for you.
The milestone session can be a session joined by immediate family members or just the person celebrating the milestone. The process remains the same.
