louisville portrait PHOTOGRAPHER
I'm Missy, your Louisville portrait Photographer
I'm here to help you remember all the tiny details.
As a mother of two and a Louisville Portrait Photographer with more than six years of experience, I know how quickly your baby’s first year unfolds. They go from scrunchy newborn to a giggling, walking one year old in the blink of an eye! So much growth happens in that first year and you want to remember every little thing. From those first smiles and curious expressions to sitting, crawling, standing, and everything in between, each session becomes another chapter in your baby’s story. A chapter you'll want to revisit over and over.
Milestone sessions are designed to be relaxed, playful, and centered around your growing little one. With access to a thoughtfully curated client wardrobe, timeless styling, and gentle guidance throughout the session, you can simply enjoy watching your baby grow while I preserve all of the little details you never want to forget.
Whether you're documenting one special milestone or creating a collection throughout baby's first year and beyond, my goal is to give you images that bring you right back to this fleeting season. Because while the milestones may come and go, the memories deserve to stay.
This is what I do for you
The Complete Experience
Styling & Planning
Once you've booked your Louisville Portrait Photography session with me, we'll meet at my studio to plan your session! I'll help style you & your babies with outfits that have been carefully curated & photograph beautifully. We'll finalize a location & start discussing what your goals are for artwork in your home.
Session Day
If you're using my hair & makeup artist, I will have her scheduled to pamper you before your session. I'll have your outfits steamed and ready to go on location. We'll have a fun, relaxed session together. My gentle guidance and eye for detail will help us capture the beauty and essence of your family in a natural way.
Design & Ordering
When your photos are ready, we'll meet again at the studio for your photo reveal and ordering appointment. You'll view custom artwork designs I've created just for you, and we'll finalize all the details that make the artwork uniquely YOU.
MMP clients plan to spend $1200+ at their ordering appointment.
